Spa Care and Maintenance

Your Coyote Spa™ is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even
so, the spa care and maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa
and its individual components will last. Regular maintenance according to the advice in this section
will help you to protect your investment.
Draining the Water
Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals will gradually accumulate in
your spa’s water. Normally, in about three to four months the water will become difficult to balance
and should be replaced. Showering without using soap prior to entering the spa or using only the
rinse cycle when laundering your bathing suit will help to reduce detergent residue in the spa wa-
ter. However, foam problems are more likely to be caused by a build up of organic pollutants in the
spa-mostly by body oils. If you’re using your spa frequently with a high bather load the water will
need to be replaced more often. Spa water gradually loses quality because of build ups of unfilterable
pollutants.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to change your water every three to four months.
To Drain Your Spa:
1. Trip the RCD breaker located in the subpanel or the quick disconnect.
2. All Coyote spas have an external drain that can be attached to a typical garden hose for conve-
nient draining. Simply locate the drain on the side of the floor, pull the nozzel out, remove cap, and
attach your hose. Once the hose is attached, push the nozzle in slightly to open the internal valve
and the spa will start draining.
Note:
All Coyote Spas™ models will drain almost completely through the drain. Equipment
such as the pump(s) and heater will drain. Any water remaining in the plumbing or equipment
after draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.
3. When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required.
4. Close the drain valve.
5. Refill the spa
BEFORE
restoring power.
IMPORTANT:
Always clean and rotate the filter cartridges, every couple of weeks, and each time
the
spa is drained for cleaning. Or, if using disposable filters change as needed or every 3 months other-
wise.
