Maintenance

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of

enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to

properly maintain your spa.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level

shown in step 5 on page 9.

• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Make

adjustments if necessary (see WATER CHEM-

ISTRY on page 16).

Weekly

• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.

• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-

ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).

• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this

manual).

Monthly

• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA

COVER on this page).

• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-

phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.

• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING

REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this

manual).

Every Three Months

• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize

and test the pH of the water.

• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in

the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-

ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.

• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or

waxes.

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The surround is maintenance free. The surround

should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not

use solvents or waxes.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap

solution; do not use solvents or waxes. The spa

should always be clean and dry before being moved

or stored.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean

the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner

on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden

hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover

entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on

the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the

cover from sun damage.

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER

The filter should be checked periodically for build-up

of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow

the steps below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Unscrew the filter

cover.

4. Lift the the filter out

of the filter housing.

5. Check the filter for

dirt and debris. If the

filter needs to be

cleaned, rinse the fil-

ter with a hose. If the

filter is still dirty, soak

it in cleaning solution

from a pool and spa

supply store.

6. Inspect the filter for

damage. Replace

the filter if it is dam-

aged.

7. Insert the cleaned or

new filter into the fil-

ter housing.

8. Re-attach the filter cover.
