Cleaning / Replacing Filter Cartridge
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Unplug the PCU
before beginning spa maintenance.
NOTE:
A dirty filter cartridge may contaminate the spa water
and cause damage to the heating function.
1. Carefully thread the three plastic caps onto the inlet/outlet ports on inner spa wall
(ensure the rubber gaskets are in place within the plastic caps).
2. Remove filter housing lid, then remove the filter cartridge.
3. Rinse off filter cartridge with water and reuse if possible. Replace filter
if the cartridge remains dirty after rinsing or is badly discoloured.
4. Put the cleaned filter back into the cartridge housing and close the lid by
turning it clockwise.
5. Remove caps from inlet/outlet ports on inner spa wall and allow water to
flow into the PCU. Tub is now ready for use.

WATER MAINTENANCE
The filter cartridge should be cleaned weekly and replaced on a monthly basis, or depending on
use. A reminder will appear to check the filter after two weeks (‘CHG FIL’). Hold down ‘HEAT’ for 5
seconds to clear the message. Change water once a month or depending on use and use
appropriate spa chemicals. Please pay attention to the chemicals used and dosage. Spa damage
resulting from misuse of chemicals is not covered by the warranty. To ensure your warranty remains
intact we recommend using Canadian Spa Company chemicals.
Water Balance:
We recommend you maintain your water balance: PH value: 7.2 - 7.6; Free
Chlorine: 2ppm - 3ppm; Alkalinity: 120-150ppm. Use a test kit to test your spa water before each
use of the spa, or at least once per week.
Water Sanitation:
We suggest using chlorine or bromine granules to disinfect the spa’s water.
NOTE:
Chlorine/Bromine tablets are not recommended.
Cleaning the Spa:
Clean the spa with mild soap and water, then rinse. Leave it outside (away from
direct sunlight) to dry.

DRAIN & STORE
Drain System
Locate and remove the external threaded Drain Cap. Attach Drain Hose to Drain Outlet.
Locate and remove the stopper on the spa floor to allow water to drain.
Dry the Spa and Portable Control Unit
After a GFCI test, press ‘JETS’ to blow out the water inside the jet holes. Turn PCU off and
disconnect all connectors from connection ports on the PCU. Turn PCU back on and run
blower for 30 seconds to allow excess water to clear from blower port. Unplug GFCI and
hold PCU at an angle, allowing water to drain from connection ports. Once water flow
stops, remove Filter Housing Lid with filter and hold PCU upside down. Give the PCU a
slight shake, allowing all excess water to be removed. Close Filter Housing Lid when
complete.
NOTE:
PCU must be stored upright. Leaving PCU at an angle or upside down may result in
damage.
Storage
Use a towel to wipe off the spa and dry for 24 hours. Unscrew the Air Valve on the lid.
Once the lid has been deflated and the Foam Panels have been disassembled, gently fold
the lid for storage. It is recommended that you store the spa in its original package in a
warm dry place.
