
Remove filter cartridge and clean with a garden hose and a high-
pressure nozzle. Periodically you may need to soak your filter in a
“cartridge filter cleaner” to remove excess minerals and/or oils.

Rinse filter thoroughly before installing. Clean O-ring on filter lid
and apply a light film of silicone lubricant to the O-ring. Do not use
a petroleum-based lubricant as it could damage the O-ring.
Consult your dealer to purchase suitable lubricant.

Place clean Cartridge in filter canister.

Replace filter lid and re-tighten retaining ring (finger tight only)
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is on the air relief valve, and is
finger tight prior to starting the pump. This O-ring should
periodically be lubricated with a silicone lubricant.

There is a 3/8” clear line coming from the filter area and this goes
to the bottom corner of the spa. This drains all the water from
around the filter canister.

This is a good time to check the skimmer basket. Bring skimmer
door (weir) forward and unscrew basket. Clean out debris and
reinstall.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the quality of the water within the specified limits will
serve to enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the swim
spa’s equipment. It is a fairly simple task, but it requires regular
attention because the water chemistry involved is a balance of
several factors. There is no simple formula, and there is no avoiding
it. An indifferent approach to water maintenance will result in poor
and potentially harmful conditions for soaking and even damage to
your spa investment. The most important thing to keep in mind is
that preventing poor water chemistry is much easier than correcting
poor water chemistry. For specific guidance on maintaining water
quality, consult your Authorized Dealer who can recommend
appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your
swim spa.
MAINTAIN HEALTHY SPA WATER
Important! When maintaining your swim spa’s water chemistry,
ensure that your cover is removed during any aggressive treatments
to allow for dissipation into the air. Take care to remove the cover
slowly and let chemicals deplete if you are uncertain if your water is
properly balanced.
Always maintain your swim spa’s water
chemistry within the following parameters:
pH: pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and
is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be
neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic. In swim
spa water, it is very important to maintain a slightly alkaline
condition of 7.2 to 7.8. Problems become proportionately
severe the further outside of this range the water gets. A low
pH will be corrosive to metals in the swim spa equipment. A
high pH will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface
(scaling). In addition, the ability of the sanitation agents to
keep the swim spa clean is severely affected as the pH
moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all swim
spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as
sanitizer.
Sanitizer (Chlorine or Bromine): To destroy bacteria and
organic compounds in the swim spa water by breaking them
down into non-harmful levels which get filtered out. A
sanitizer must be used regularly, either chlorine or bromine.
Sanitizing your swim spa water is the most important spa
maintenance you can do for yourself.
Total Alkalinity: This refers to the ability of the swim spa
water to resist changes in pH. Controlling alkalinity can help
keep your pH in the appropriate range thereby lessening the
need for pH balancing. If the TA is too low the pH level will
fluctuate rapidly from high to low. If the TA is too high the pH
will tend to be too high and will be very difficult to bring back
down.
Calcium Hardness: This is a measurement of dissolved
calcium in the water. Calcium will help control the corrosive
nature of the swim spa’s water.
Look for these specialized cleaning attachments at your
local dealership.
WARNING: Never store chemicals inside the equipment
area of your swim spa.
IMPORTANT: Do not use Hydrogen Peroxide based
sanitizers in your swim spa. When using Chlorine or
Bromine tablets you must use a floating dispenser. These
