Filter Cleaning
Clean your filter at least once a month depending on usage. To do so, remove
the filter in warm water, remove the outer sock and follow the directions on the
bottle of the filter cleaner. Replace the sock and snap the filter into position on
either of the suction covers.
You must first soak the filter connector in luke
warm water for one or two minutes before snapping it onto the suction
cover. Do not attempt to remove or install the filter unless the filter
connector is warm.
The filter should be replaced at least once a year.
Filling & Draining
Empty and clean your Softub Spa 2-3 times a year or when the water chemistry
becomes difficult to manage. Always unplug the motor unit before draining the
tub. If you pump water out of the spa, do not allow the suction end of the hose
to contact the vinyl – this may damage the vinyl and void your warranty.
Your tub should be drained using a siphon, or a submersible pump (available
from your dealer). Before refilling your tub, thoroughly clean the inner liner
material according to the instructions below.
When filling your tub, always make sure the water temperature is not over 104º
F/40º C. To reduce the time needed for the initial warm up, warm household
water may be used, if you are not using a water softening device. Fill the spa
slowly (over a period of a few hours). This allows your home’s water heater to
recover and supply enough warm water.
Inner Liner Material
While empty, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge to thoroughly clean the
inner liner. Rinse thoroughly before refilling the tub. Do not use cleaning aids
such as steel wool, stiff bristle brushes, abrasive cleaners, acidic cleaners (such
as citrus based cleaners) or cleaners containing harsh chemicals including
bleach and ammonia.
If your liner does get a tear or puncture, contact your dealer.
Storing & Transporting
You may save the original shipping carton from the tub and motor unit for
storing and transporting. Before re-packing, make sure all components are
completely dry and clean. The tub and lid must be stored horizontally.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure nothing is placed on top of the tub when it is stored
away. Do not store empty in sunlight.
For transporting, the tub should be in its original shipping container and securely
tied down. The use of a strapping device of at least 1 ½” wide is recommended.
A tarp or net may be needed to spread out tension. If boxes are not available,
tension must be sufficient to prevent the Softub Spa from floating out of the
vehicle, but not so great as to cause any permanent markings on the vinyl or the
foam.
