niche, if applicable
(removal of the faceplate may be necessary).
d) Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate
tightly with a rag when vacuuming the main drain and secondary
freeze drain outlets to ensure water is drawn completely from the
internal plumbing system).
e) Secondary drain outlet and allow it to draw any remaining water
from the spa’s bleedlines (approximately 3 to 5 minutes).
5. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.
6. Replace the main and secondary drain caps.
danGer:
use only Propylene glycol as your anti-freeze. This is
non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) since
it is toxic!
7. using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes,
filter suction fittings, jet orifices and Bella Fontana
®
orifices.
Add enough anti-freeze to ensure adequate protection – in many
cases, you will see the liquid in the orifice, or coming out of another
location. Re-install the filter standpipes if removed.
8. close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. cover the spa
cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of
snow and ice. Secure a plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover and
plywood.
9. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.
oPeNINg INSTRucTIoNS:
1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. open the spa cover by
unfastening the cover tie downs.
2. open drain to remove anti-freeze. Replace drain cap.
3. Follow the Start-up Procedures in the Quick Start-up instructions
section of the owner’s Manual. do not install filters to prevent them
from exposure to the anti-freeze.
4. As part of this process, superchlorinate the spa water by adding three
teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons of spa water
into the filter compartment. This is twice the normal amount of chlorine
needed for superclorination. This extra amount of chlorine is needed
to destroy the anti-freeze. A defoamer may be needed to decrease the
amount of foam caused by the anti-freeze.
5. drain your spa to ensure removal of anti-freeze. do not drain water
on grass or plants due to excessive chlorine level.
6. After the spa has completely drained, re-install your filters and follow
the Start-up Procedures in the Quick Start-up instructions of the
owner’s Manual.
ImporTanT:
Always keep spa covered when not in use, whether it is
empty or full.
FIlTER SYSTEM
Hot Spring
®
spas are equipped with balanced filtration, meaning that
the filter cartridges are sized to meet the needs of the jet pump system.
Additionally, a separate filter is dedicated to serving the 24-hour
circulation system.
As with any water filtering system, the filter cartridges may become
clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. It is important to maintain
a clean, unobstructed filtering system. This not only provides the
maximum performance from the jets, but allows the 24 hour filtration
system to function effectively. Rotating the placement of the filter
cartridges within the filter compartment after each cleaning will help to
extend their service life.
ImporTanT:
The frequency and duration of use, and the number of
occupants all contribute to determining the appropriate time between
filter cleanings. More use means that more frequent filter cleanings are
required. Failure to maintain the cartridges in a clean, unobstructed
manner will result in reduced water flow through the heater assembly
that may cause the High-limit Thermostat, Heater Thermal cut-off or
circulation Pump Thermal cut-off to trip. If this high-limit or thermal cut-
off trip occurs during sub-freezing temperatures and goes unnoticed, the
spa water may freeze. Any damage to the spa (due to freezing) caused
as a result of poor maintenance (stated under misuse or abuse in the Hot
Spring spa limited Warranty), will not be covered by your spa warranty.
WarnInG:
To reduce the risk of injury to persons using the spa,
do NoT remove the suction fittings (filter standpipes) located in the
filter compartment and do not sit on the filter lid, in extreme cases the
lid could crack and break. This occurrence is considered abuse and is
not covered under warranty.
FIlTER CARTRIdgES
REMOVAl & ClEANINg
1. disconnect the spa from the power supply by tripping both of the gFcI
breakers located in the subpanel. unplug power cord for 115V models.
2. Remove and carefully set aside the filter compartment cover.
3. Remove any floating items from within the filter compartment.
4. Turn the filter retainer handle (located on the top of the filter cartridge)
counterclockwise until the retainer can be removed from the filter
standpipe.
5. Remove the filter retainer and cartridge.
ImporTanT:
Never remove the filter standpipes when debris is
present in the filter compartment. debris may find its way into the
internal plumbing which may result in blockage. NeVeR ReMoVe
SucTIoN FITTINgS.
6. Always clean standard filter using a filter degreaser, such as Hot
Spring FreshWater
®
Filter cleaner, to remove mineral and oil buildup.
Simply soak the filter in the degreaser according to the package
directions, then place the filter on a clean surface and spray until clean
using a garden hose. It may be necessary to rotate the filter while
spraying to remove any debris lodged between the filter pleats. The
Tri-x

filter
(standard on Vista

,

&

®
models
only)
can be cleaned in the dishwasher using no soap and no dry
cycle. Please contact your Hot Spring dealer for details.
7. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it
was removed. do not overtighten!
WarnInG:
do not use the spa with the filter cartridges, or filter
standpipe(s) removed!
CARE OF ThE SPA PIllOwS
The spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care. They
have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching
effects of chlorinated water, and other spa water chemicals. To extend
their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows
should be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild
soap and water solution. AlWAyS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly
to remove any soap residue. The pillows can be conditioned with Hot
Spring cover Shield after cleaning. If the spa is not going to be used
for a long period of time (that is during a vacation, or if the spa is
winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa
pillows should be removed until the next spa use.
