Swim Spa
NOTE: Close and replace caps on all drains
prior to refilling the swim spa.
NOTE: When refilling the swim spa you may
need to bleed air from the system. Refer to
Priming Your Spa for instructions.
Filter Maintenance
NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the swim
spa in order to clean the filters.
The removable filter cartridges are located
in the filter canisters inside the skimmer. The
filters should be inspected/cleaned monthly
during normal use and more often when spa
use is heavy.
Keep the filter cartridges clean!
Clean the
filter cartridges at least once every 30 days.
A clogged filter decreases performance and
degrades water quality.
To clean the filter cartridge:
1. Turn the pump off.
2. Remove skimmer lid on top of swim spa.
3. Remove strainer basket
4. Remove filter cartridge from the filter
canister by grasping the top and lifting
upwards. Some filters are threaded on.
5. Soak filter in a commercial filter cleaner/
degreaser, available from your MAAX®
Spa dealer, per manufacturer’s instructions.
Rinse filter cartridge with a hose. Replace
with new cartridge, if needed.
6. Place filter cartridge back into filter canister.
7. Replace strainer basket and skimmer lid.
8. Turn the pump ON.
Replacing the filter cartridge semi-annually
is recommended to maintain optimum
performance. Filter maintenance depends on
usage.
Winterizing
In cold climates where freezing temperatures
occur, special care is required to prevent the
possibility of damage to the swim spa and
associated equipment due to freezing. If you
plan on using your swim spa during cold
months, be sure your pump and heater are in
good working order. The swim spa has been
insulated to provide efficient operation in cold
weather areas.
NOTE: If you elect not to drain your swim
spa and the temperature is going to be
below freezing for extended periods of
time, it is best to operate the heater at the
maximum high temperature 104°F (40°C),
especially if there is a power outage threat.
This will help reduce the likelihood of the
water freezing if you have a power failure.
If you do not intend to use your swim spa
during the winter months and there is danger
of freezing, use the following steps to winterise
your swim spa:
1. Turn off all electrical power to the swim spa.
2. Drain swim spa and hoses of all
water using the directions for Draining Your
Swim Spa. Open all unions, and
remove drain plugs from bottom of pumps.
If you cannot draw off all of the water
(especially from hoses), add Recreational
Vehicle antifreeze to the remaining water
through the bottom of the skimmer
and jets. If antifreeze is used, it must be
an inhibitor Propylene Glycol such as Dow
Frost™, available through Dow Chemical®
distributors.
NOTE: Prior to refilling the swim spa,
drain all antifreeze from swim spa and
hoses using the instructions for Draining
Your Swim Spa. Carefully
monitor chemicals until all antifreeze
residue has been eliminated.
