Shocking the Water

In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water 

helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and im-

proves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock. 

It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers.
Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if the water has a strong odor.
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat 

oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.

Chemical Safety

Do  not  exceed  chemical  dosages  as  recommended 

in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and 

packages.
Never change chemical brands or types without com-

pletely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the 

spa and cover first.

Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, 

eyes  or  clothing.  Remove  and  wash  clothing  that 

may have been exposed to chemical contact prior to 

wearing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious in-

jury, sickness, or even death.
Chemicals  must  be  stored  completely  out  of  the 

reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool, 

and dry. Failure to provide a proper area for chemical 

storage may result in serious injury, sickness, fire ex

-

plosion and even death. Do not store your chemicals 

inside the equipment area of your spa.

Read  and  follow  all  printed  instructions  listed  on  bottles,  packages .  Failure  to  follow 

chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death .

Filter Cleaning

The  filter  is  the  part  of  your  spa  that  removes  the 

debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a 

regular basis to maximize your spa’s filtering perfor

-

mance and heating efficiency. 
In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove 

surface  debris,  your  filter  should  be  deep  cleaned 

periodically  to  dissolve  scale  and  particles  that  get 

lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede the 

filtration process. Even if the filter looks clean, scale 

and particles can clog the fibers and prevent water 

from flowing through the filter resulting in the most 

common  spa  problem—no  heat,  caused  by  a  dirty 

filter. 
We recommend you clean your filter once a month 

and replace it once a year or as necessary.

Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, 

1. 

unscrewing  the  bottom  threads,  then  pulling  it 

up and out.

Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep 

2. 

enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter 

cleaner to the bucket of water.

Note: 

It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to 

use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep 
cleaned. This way, you can rotate the filters and 

both will last longer.

Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside

3. 

Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.

4. 

Spray  the  filter  with  a  water  hose.  Spray  each 

5. 

pleat carefully.

Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use 

6. 

it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the 
filter.

Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.
