MAINTENANCE
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 evapora-
tion, 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.
To drain the spa, turn OFF circuit breakers at the
main electrical panel. Connect a garden hose to the
drain valve in the suction plumbing, via access hole in the
pan. Turn the handle and drain the spa.
After draining the spa, clean the spa shell, suction
cover, skimmer, and filter, then close the drain valve and
refill the spa with fresh water. Check the pH level and
maintain water quality.
Skimmer Basket Maintenance
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.

The suction cover 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 screwdriver and clean the
cover by flushing with water from a hose.
CAUTION: Ensure replacement of the suction cover
immediately 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.
A spa cover (available as an option), 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 con-
sumption.
Filter Maintenance
The filter should be checked periodically. In normal
use, check the filter at least once a month. Keep the filter
clean. An obstructed filter reduces water quality and
inhibits proper system performance.
A removable filter cartridge is located inside the
skimmer. 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, revers-
ing 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 phosphate (TSP) and water. An hour of
soaking time is usually required to break down oil coat-
ings 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 veg-
etation. Replacement cartridges are available through
your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer.
