Water Level/Drain
The water level in the spa must be maintained at its
normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the
water level to drop.
When concentrations of impurities from evaporation,
water quality chemicals, body oils, perfumes, dirty feet, and
winds, etc., accumulate in the spa and cannot be filtered
out, it is necessary to drain your spa and refill it with fresh
water. This should be done every 2 months or more often
depending on the amount of use.
After draining the spa, clean the spa shell, suction
covers, skimmer, and filter, then close the drain valve and
refill the spa with fresh water. Check the pH level and
maintain water quality.

Filter Maintenance
The filters should be checked periodically. In normal
use, check the filters at least once a month. Keep the filters
clean; obstructed filters reduce water quality and inhibit
proper system performance.
A removable filter cartridge is located inside each skim-
mer. To remove it, pull open the skimmer door by the handle
located in the middle of the door. Slide the basket out, then
pull the filter cartridge upward and out of the housing by the
loop at the top of the filter. Clean the filter by separating the
folds of the filter and spraying with fresh water from a garden
hose. Then reinstall the cartridge in the housing and
replace the basket, reversing the above procedure.
Oils will coat the filter, resulting in a reduced flow. To
remove such materials, soak the cartridge in a plastic pail
containing a commercial filter cleaning solution (available
from your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer or most pool
supply stores). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
use. Another method is to soak the filter cartridge in a
plastic pail containing a mild solution of trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) and water. An hour of soaking time is usually
required to break down oil coatings from the cartridge. Use
a stronger solution of TSP and water to remove algae. Most
hardware or paint stores stock TSP. Use the same method
of cleaning when the cartridge becomes plugged with clay
or vegetation.

Replacement cartridges are available through your
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Dealer.
The suction covers located in the foot well area should be
checked at least once a week for collected debris, such as
leaves, hair, etc., and cleaned as necessary. It may not be
necessary to remove the suction cover to clean it, but if you
need to, remove the center screw with a Phillips type
screwdriver and clean the cover by flushing with water from
a hose.
CAUTION
:
Be sure to replace the suction cover imme-
diately after cleaning. It is a safety device and must be
in place over the suction fitting to minimize potential
hazard of hair and body entrapment.
If heavy rains raise the spa water level, drain the spa to
its normal level.
The optional rigid spa cover , when in place over the spa,
will help reduce evaporation and control the amount of
debris entering the spa when the spa is not occupied. In
addition, its use will reduce energy consumption.

nance
The basket located in the skimmer of the spa should be
checked at least once a week for collection of debris, such
as leaves, hair, etc., and cleaned as necessary. To clean
the basket, remove it from the skimmer by pulling it out; then
backflush it with a garden hose and reinstall.
