water line
To avoid buildup of oils and lotions at the water line, clean the interior weekly or
when needed. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.
note:
Do not use the same brush or sponge to clean the exterior of the ves-
sel and the interior of the vessel. Soap and other product residue used on the
outside of the vessel can cause foaming of the vessel water and scratches to
the vessel surface if used on the inside of the vessel.
suspenDeD use or winteriZing tHe vessel
If you decide to discontinue the use of your vessel for any extended period of
time, we suggest you follow the steps below.
note:
During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment
from condensation within the equipment compartment. Failure to follow these
instructions during freezing conditions will result in cracked fitting(s) and glue
joints, and other damage.
1. Turn off the power to the vessel.
2. Drain the vessel. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING THE VESSEL.)
3. Remove all residual water from the seating and footwell. If necessary,
bail out the remaining water then dry the vessel with towels. A wet/dry
vacuum is recommended for best results.
4. Using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum nozzle over each jet nozzle to
remove water from plumbing lines, starting with the highest jet and finishing
with the lowest jet.
note:
The vessel is equipped with a Tri-Zone control
which is used to divert water between different jet zones. The valve must
be “open” to the particular jets you are vacuuming.
5. Unscrew the pump plugs from the pumps. (See STARTING YOUR Vessel.)
6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place nozzle over the exposed pump
openings to remove excess water. The pumps should be removed from
the vessel and stored in a climate-controlled room.
7. Clean the vessel interior.
8. Clean the filter cartridges.
9. Reinstall the DuraCover™ and lock in place.
note:
Direct sunlight on the
vessel surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in
the voiding of any surface warranties.
