face plate of the filter assembly. The depth range of
these marks is 6-7½” down from top of spa.
Note 1:
To avoid air pockets in the pumps and in the
main plumbing intake, it is recommended that the spa be
refilled through the filter assembly.
Note 2:
The higher the water level, the fewer spa users
it will take to cause the water to overflow the top of the
spa.
Note 3:
Do not fill your spa with soft water unless the
mineral content is raised immediately.
4. Restore electrical power supply.
5. See "Starting Your Spa with New Water" under "Water
Chemistry" in this Owner's Manual.
CLEANING YOUR FILTER
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge:
It is recommended that your Filter Cartridge(s) be
cleaned every 3 to 6 weeks or as needed. Replace the
Filter Cartridge(s) approximately every two years or when
necessary. To maintain warranty protection, use only
Bullfrog Filter Cartridge replacements.
1. Put the spa in "Standby Mode". This will prevent the
pump from activating while cleaning the cartridge. (See
“Standby Mode” under "OPERATION" in this Owner's
Manual.)
2. Remove skimmer face-plate and basket.
3. Grasp cartridge(s) and lift out. With a garden hose and
nozzle or other high pressure device, hose cartridge(s)
clean with jet stream of water. Work top to bottom on
each pleat. To remove collected suntan lotions and body
oils that hosing will not remove; soak cartridge(s) in
warm water with a FILTER CLEANER or detergent added.
To remove calcium deposits (a white chalky material)
soak cartridge(s) in a one part muriatic acid to ten parts
water solution. USE A PLASTIC CONTAINER ONLY.
Calcium deposits indicate a high spa pH, which should
be corrected.
5. CAUTION: Using a brush to clean a cartridge could
damage it. Bullfrog’s SpinClean™ filter cartridge cleaners
may be used and can be obtained from your authorized
Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer.
6. Reinstall cartridge(s), basket and skimmer face-plate.
7. Press any button on the control pad to reset the
control system.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To replace a burned out or defective light bulb, complete
the following steps:
1. Disconnect electrical power supply.
2. Remove the door to the Equipment Compartment.
