Thermal Cover Care
Always use the locking thermal cover when not in use to reduce heat ‐ up me, opera ng costs and keep unwanted out. To
prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with a vinyl
condi oner will help protect against deteriora on caused by UV rays from the sun. Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover,
and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces. Be sure to lock all straps when not in use for safety and to prevent wind damage. Keep
cover open at least 15 minutes a er adding chemicals.
EverPure2™ Ozone and UV Care
The ozone hose and check valve connec on between the ozone generator and ozone injector should be inspected or replaced, if
necessary, annually. The air quality pulled into the generator may cause rapid wear on the hose and check valve. The EverLite2™
will light green when the ozone generator is opera ng (during the fi ltra on cycle) indica ng the EverPure2™ system is indeed
sani zing the water.
Plumbing Care
Swim spas are plumbed with plas c jets, pipes and fi ngs which are glued together. These plas c parts and their many glue
joints are subjected to harsh treatment with years of opera on, subjected to many hot ‐ cold cycles and the high pressure
generated by the powerful jet pump stressing pipes and joints. Although the factory has a rigorous tes ng procedure, even
transporta on from the factory to you can cause vibra on and possible loosening of the joints.
Should a leak occur, remove that appropriate sec on of cabinet wall exposing the leaking area. Drain the swim spa to below the
leak and contact a quali fi ed technician for repair.
Filter Cartridge Care
Swim Spa water fi ltra on begins as soon as the fl ow is steady through the pump. As the fi lter cartridge removes dirt from the water,
the accumulated debris will cause a resistance to fl ow. When this is no ced, along with cloudy water, clean or replace the fi lter
element as noted below. This generally occurs monthly depending upon use and water care.
Pris ne™ System: Suc on ‐ side design
1. Shut o ff power at the main or sub panel.
2. Remove the fi lter housing top by pulling up the raised por ons of the fi lter top.
3. Li the skimmer basket out of the fi lter canister.
4. Remove the fi lter from the canister.
5. Replace with clean fi lter, either a clean spare which is recommended, or cleaning of the soiled removed cartridge. Refer to
scheduled care sec on for recommenda ons.
6. Place skimmer basket back in fi lter canister.
7. Place fi lter top onto fi lter canister and turn clockwise un l top stops.
PowerFlo™ System: Pressure ‐ side design (TruSwim™ models only)
1. Shut o ff power at the main or sub panel.
2. Open the small, black bleeder valve on top of the fi lter cover slightly to release pressure. (Be sure to re ‐ close the valve snugly
before reac va ng the spa.)
3. Remove the black lock ring. Li the dome lid and remove the fi lter element. Clean any debris from the fi lter housing. Soak the
fi lter element in a non ‐ sudsing fi lter cleansing solu on.
4. Rinse the fi lter element with a garden hose or pressure hose, and replace in the fi lter housing. (It is recommended to have an
extra fi lter cartridge on hand so that a clean element will always be available while the soiled element is being cleaned. This will
minimize down me of the spa during the cleaning procedure.) When replacing the element into the housing, be sure that the o ‐ ring
is in place and clear to assure a snug fi t of the fi lter dome lid to prevent leakage. Hand ghten the lock ring un l snug andlocking tab
engages. Re ‐ check bleeder valve to be sure it is closed.
Swim Spa Acrylic Surface Care
To preserve the sheen of the acrylic surface, clean and sani ze with clean water to remove any par cles and use rubbing alcohol
or a non ‐ abrasive, non ‐ sudsing cleaner to wipe clean. Use a so , lint free cloth and never use an aggressive solvent such as a
lacquer thinner or acetone which will cause damage to the acrylic.
