Step 6:
Remove filter cartridge(s), clean, and reinstall.
Step 7:
Secure the cover to the spa utilizing the tie downs and
locking system. In areas where heavy snow is anticipated, place a
large piece of plywood (or its equivalent) on top of the spa cover
to assist in supporting the cover with the added weight of the
snow. Remove snow off the cover following each snow storm.
WARNING:
To avoid water from becoming trapped between
the floor suction fitting and the filter pipe . Use a wet/dry vacuum
to remove the remaining water out of pipe by placing the vacuum
end over the filter hole. In a two-pump spa, first plug off one
filter using a tennis ball then vacuum out the water. Or pour ½-1
gallons (5-9 liters) of RV antifreeze into the filter hole.
NOTE:
RV antifreeze is nontoxic and does not require
evacuation at start up.
Spa De-Winterization
To de-winterize the spa, reverse the winterization procedure.
Make sure all fittings are tight before refilling spa to the water
level mark.
WARNING:
Whenever refilling the spa, it will be necessary
to Super Sanitize the new spa water. Instructions are found in the
Water Chemistry section.
Removing the
Equipment Door
Design Series Door Removal
The Design Series spa is designed so that there are no visible
fasteners from the exterior. This is accomplished by using an
innovative style of snap features in both the corners and the
cabinet panels. If properly removed using these instructions,
servicing this spa is easy to do.
Step 1:
Remove Corners – It is important to remove the front
two corners overlapping the door before attempting to remove
the door itself. This is done by placing a short flathead screwdriver
below the corner and slipping it up partway behind the corner
and using it as a lever to pry out the bottom half of the corner
outward.
Once this is done, grab the corner by the bottom and pull it
straight out allowing the top snap to come free. Pull corner down
and out of the groove on the top.
Step 2:
Remove Door – Once both front corners are removed,
look on each side of the front door to see the snap feature built
into the cabinet. To remove the door, start by placing a longer
flathead screwdriver or short pry bar into the center of the snap
feature and use it as a lever to pop the door out of the first snap.
Grab the base of the door and carefully begin pulling it out such
that the rest of the snaps come free one by one across the length
of the door. The door can then be dropped out of the groove on
top and removed from the spa.
Step 3:
Electrical Disconnect – be sure to disconnect any
lighting or any other electrical wiring that is mounted onto the
door before completely removing it.
Design Series Door Installation
Step 1:
Electrical –Reconnect any lighting or electrical devices
on the door before installing.
Step 2:
Door – Slip the upper lip of the door into the top
groove of the extrusion. Lower the door while gently pushing
on it until you feel the snaps line up with the snap features in
the ribs. Starting from one side, force the first snap into place.
Continue down the length of the door and forcefully push the
cabinet into each of the snaps until the door is completely in and
secured. You can feel along the bottom to make sure all are in
place and no gaps are present.
Step 3:
Corner – Slip the upper lip of the corner into the top
groove of the spa. Starting from the top force the first snap into
place, if the corner has slipped down and is not flush with the
top groove this is the best time to push it back up into place.
Continue down the length of the corner and forcefully push it
into each of the snaps until the corner is completely in secured.
The corner should fit tightly against the cabinet on both sides.
