Factory Installed Wood Skirt
Your spa is supplied with a factory-installed wood
skirt which completely surrounds the spa. The skirt can
be opened for service.
If it becomes necessary to remove one or more of
the skirt panels for service access, simply remove the
screws with which the section is secured.
To detach any of the panels, first remove all screws
from the panel being detached.
The panels can be reattached to the spa by revers-
ing the above procedure.
NOTE: When you remove the skirt, you will notice
the plastic covered insulating batts. These batts are
designed to be removed when service is required
and reinstalled when service has been completed.
Automatic Filtration/Maintenance
If you plan to be away, minimum water quality will be
maintained by running the filter system.
If you will be away for an extended period, however,
we recommend that you drain the spa (following the
procedure described under Winterizing on this page), as
long periods without maintenance of water quality could
be detrimental to the spa.
Another means of maintaining minimum water qual-
ity while away for less than two weeks is to follow the
procedure outlined for winterizing your spa in a warm
climate. (Refer to Winterizing.)
NOTE: We do not recommend using this procedure
if you are absent during the summer, when algae
buildup is most likely.
Always keep your spa covered when not in use to
reduce heat loss and evaporation and to prevent debris
from falling in.

Winterizing
In a climate where winter temperatures are below
freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will
NOT be used:
1. Turn OFF power to the unit at the main electric panel.
2. Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose
to the drain valve. Then remove the hose and leave
the drain valve open to drain the spa of any residual
water. Remove any remaining water in the seating
areas and footwell.
3. After the spa has drained, open pump/motor unions
as shown. Remove any water fron the pan. After
draining, close the unions hand tight. When refilling
the spa, check for leaks with the jets operating.
MAINTENANCE
4. Remove, clean and store the filter cartridges, in a dry
location.
5. Keep water and debris out by covering with a spa
cover.
Before using the spa again, review the Operating
Instructions.
In a warm climate where there are occasional freez-
ing temperatures, your spa is automatically protected
against freezing.
To maintain water quality adjust temperature setpoint
to the minimum setting (80
°
F).
