Proper Water Level

It is normal for the spa to lose approximately one inch of water per week. The water loss is due to evaporation 

and run off from people exiting the spa. Please be mindful of this and add water as necessary. If the water 

level drops below the filter level then the pumps will draw in air. This will cause the pumps to ‘air-lock’ and can 

cause error codes that will prevent the heater from turning on.

Filter Maintenance and Replacement

Proper maintenance of the spa’s filter is very important. The filter helps to clean the spa from algae, bacteria, 

hair, debris, and other solids that enter the spa. Failing to clean the filter will place an unnecessary strain on 

its respective pump. Additionally, a dirty filter will result in dirty water. Clean the filter at least once a month. Do 

not use a pressure washer.

To clean the filter:

1. Shut off power to the spa.

2. Remove the filter from the spa. Hold the filter at a 45º angle and spray it off with a garden hose.

3. Re-insert the filter in the spa.

It is of equal importance that the spa filter be replaced periodically. The fibers in the filter

loosen over time, allowing more particles to pass through them. A standard cartridge filter needs to be 

replaced every six months at a minimum.

Draining the Spa

The water needs to be replaced at least once a year. Always remember to shut off power at the breaker before 

draining the spa. 

The most common way to drain the spa is with the drain valve. The drain valve is a red handled spigot located 

in the main access panel. Attach a garden hose to the valve and turn the spigot into the open position to 

release the water. Be sure to close the spigot before refilling the spa.

Another way to drain the spa is by means of reverse siphon. The steps for this method are as

follows:

1. Place one end of the garden hose in the spa and connect the other end to a faucet.

2. Turn the faucet on to fill the garden hose with water.

3. Once the garden hose is full, turn off the water and disconnect it from the faucet. Be sure this end of the

garden hose is at a lower elevation than the end in the spa.

4. The water will now drain out of the spa.

Cover

While the spa cover is very sturdy, it is not meant to withstand excessive weight. Never stand on the cover. 

Remove snow or other items that accumulate on the cover promptly to avoid causing it to misshape or 

otherwise become damaged.
