DRAINING
It is recommended to completely drain the spa at least four times a year. Otherwise, the water becomes
chemically "saturated" and no longer responds to regular chemical upkeep. To drain the spa, turn off the power
supply to the spa. Turn OFF the main power switch. Unplug the electrical cord (if equipped), or turn OFF the
circuit breakers. The drain valve will drain approximately 5 gallons per minute.
REMOVING THE FILTER
First, turn off power to spa. Remove the floating weir and pre-filter basket by turning base ring counter clockwise
to reveal the filter cartridge. Carefully, remove the filter for inspection and cleaning. After the filter is cleaned or
replaced, carefully reinstall the filter in the filter housing. Make sure to securely seat the filter in the bottom of the
filter housing. Replace the floating weir and pre-filter basket.
REFILLING
Fill the spa with fresh water from a garden hose. You can use on in-line garden hose filter cartridge. After filling
add the necessary chemicals to achieve the proper chemical balance.
CLEANING
It is possible to clean your spa without draining it. The water line can become soiled, and should be wiped clean
with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use any abrasive cleaners as they can scratch and dull the surface. Use spa
cleaner, which can be obtained at an authorized spa dealer.
SPA COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
HIGH EFFICIENCY HEAT RETENTION COVER
A highly energy efficient hard cover is supplied by the factory or in some cases from your local dealer. The use
of an insulating hard foam cover is recommended to help keep the cost of heating of your spa as economical as
possible. Follow the cover manufacturer’s recommendations on cleaning the cover. The hard cover should be
kept on the spa when not in use to help prevent heat loss. This will help maintain a more consistent water
temperature in between spa uses.
