SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Draining Your Spa
Under normal usage, you should change the water in your spa every 3-4 months. Before doing so be sure to turn off all power to the
spa, then follow these easy steps to drain the spa:
Once the tub is drained, replace the drain cap, rotate the spout clockwise until it stops and push it back into the recess. The
remaining water in the spa can be scooped or siphoned out and you are now ready to clean the inside surface. Note: It is
recommended that you not drain water onto grass or vegetation since chemicals in the spa water may damage them.
Cleaning The Spa Surface
When the spa is empty, you can clean the surface by using a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent or specially formulated spa cleaner.
For general cleaning, any of the following items can be used: Ivory (soap & water solution), Formula 409, Windex, Spic and Span,
Scrubbing Bubbles, Fantastik, Simple Green, Pine Sol or any product available at your local spa dealer. For heavy cleaning, you
may try one of the following cleaning items, but make sure to remove immediately after use: Soft Scrub (may slightly abrade
surface), Bug & Tar Remover or OOPS. Do not use an abrasive brush or cleaning agent, as it will scratch the finish. DO NOT USE
any of the following items to clean your tub: Acetone, Goof Off or any cleaners that contain esters, ethers, ketones, aromatic or
chlorinated hydrocarbons, Isopropanal (concentrations greater than 25%). If you have stubborn dirt or scum marks at the water line,
use a spa cleaner and a scrub pad designed for use on spa surfaces, which are available at your spa dealership. Clean only a small
portion of the surface at one time. Use a soft, clean cloth to apply the cleaner. To prevent suds, thoroughly remove all residue from
the cleaning agent prior to refilling the spa.
Adjustable Jets
The jet faces on the various 2”, 3”, and 5” adjustable jets should be removed from time to time to clean off any accumulated hair, dirt
deposits, etc. This will insure proper operation of the water flow control feature.
2. Rotate the spout assembly
counterclockwise until spout
stops.
1. Pull the spout out
(approximately 2”) leaving the
exterior end cap on.
3. After rotating the spout, pull
the spout out further until it
stops. Rotate drain cap coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
4. Attach a garden hose to
drain threads and then push
the drain spout back in about
half-way to allow water to
begin draining from the spa.
