SPA SURFACE CARE
Do not use abrasive solvents or cleaners to clean spa sur-
faces. Only use the following: Lemon Juice, Amonia,
Vinegar or Soap and Water.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (90 days or more)
To Prevent damage to spa shell and spa surface , do not leave spa
empty for extended period of time. All proper Long Term Storage
Procedures must be followed to prevent possible surface and structural
damage to the spa shell.
We strongly urge you to contact your dealer to winterize
your spa.
If you are not going to use your spa for an extended period of
time, drain it as described above. You will also have to drain the pump.
Water left in the spa during long-term storage may cause freeze damage.*
To drain the pump, remove the drain plug from the face of the
pump. Additional water removal is required to prevent freeze damage
to the spa plumbing assembly. Remove the piping assembly between
the pump and the heater by loosening the union at the pump and the
union at the heater. Once the piping is removed, use a wet/dry shop
vac to vacuum water from both the pump side and the heater side
openings. Once all water is removed from these lines, we also recom-
mend that you place the vacuum over each jet and the suction fittings
and vacuum any remaining water that may be trapped in these lines.
You may now reinstall the piping assembly that was removed earlier
and reinstall the pump plug.
NOTE:
We also recommend vacuuming each jet opening to
ensure that all of the water is out of the plumbing lines.
*FREEZE DAMAGE TO THE SPA PLUMBING IS NOT COVERED
UNDER THE WARRANTY.
