Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode, and
as the pump begins to operate, monitor water flow over
the weir door to assure that it is free floating
CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge should be cleaned every two to four weeks,
depending on the amount of use. Signs that the filter
requires cleaning include:
• Reduced jet power
• Hazy gray water
• Rattling noise in the pump or filter
• Heater not working
REMovAL
1
Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode.
2
Remove the filter cover and open the small, black air
vent/bleeder valve on the top of the filter lid.
3
Press down the lock tab to disengage and turn the
locking ring counter clockwise.
4
Pull the filter lid upwards, and lift the cartridge element
straight up and out of filter housing.
CLEANING
5
With a garden hose and spray nozzle, hose off the cartridge
element, ensuring to carefully separate every pleat.
6
To remove collected lotions, body oils, etc. soak the
cartridge in warm water and a filter cleaning/emulsifying
compound (available at your HYDROPOOL retailer).
7
A cleaning cylinder may be purchased from your
HYDROPOOL Hot tub retailer.
8
Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing.
9
Hydropool recomends purchasing a spare filter cartridge so
that you always have a clean substitute ready to rotate.
10
After the element has dried - if necessary, lightly brush
between pleats with a fine paint-brush to remove
remaining dirt particles.
Do not use a wire brush or other
devise to clean cartridge element.
Do not put in dishwasher or washing
machine.
RE-INSTALLATIoN
11
Place the cartridge filter back into the filter housing.
12
Replace the filter housing lid, pushing it down to seat,
ensuring that the lid o-ring does not become twisted.
13
Hydropool recomends that the lid o-ring be lubricated
with a non-petroleum based lubricant (ie. Silicone gel)
when it becomes dry. This will help to prevent
twisting and pinching as the lid is installed, and
significantly increase longevity of the o-ring.
14
Install the filter lock-ring, turning clockwise until the lock
tab snaps into place.
15
Close the air vent/bleeder valve.
16
Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode.
17
When the pump starts circulating on low speed, it will be
necessary to release trapped air in the filter. Carefully
loosen the air vent/bleeder valve counter-clockwise until
there is the hissing sound of air escaping. Once there is a
steady stream of water, close the vent valve, ensuring that
the o-ring does not become pinched.
CLEANING THE ACRYLIC SuRFACE
The acrylic surface can be cleaned and polished using a
soft cloth and acrylic cleaner, available at your Hydropool
retailer.
• Important: Do not use detergents -
the remaining residues will adversely
affect water chemistry, making it
difficult to maintain proper water
balance
•
Do Not use abrasive cleaners
-
damage to the acrylic surface will occur.
SAFETY HARD CovER
When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost
from the water surface. This evaporation also affects the
chemical balance and could create humidity problems
indoors. HYDROPOOL Safety Hard Covers are engineered
for maximum thermal efficiency and appearance. They
are hinged in the middle for easier handling, and the zip
fastener allows the tapered foam inserts to be changed
if damaged. The skirt of the safety hard cover hugs the
lip of the hot tub for a tight fit. The handles are placed
so that even one person can easily carry a large cover.
The locks, with one part fastened to the deck or skirt,
prevent small children or animals from entering the hot
tub. Do not drag the safety hard cover across the hot tub or
decking. Fold the cover first, then lift by the handles.
Standing on the hardcover could cause the tapered foam
inserts to crack, which will lead to water absorption.
NEvER LEAN oR STAND oN YouR HARDCovER.
The cover should be cleaned at least twice a year with a
vinyl moisturizer and protector.
