The spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment.
Follow the guidelines below to properly maintain the
spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
• Check the water level. If necessary, refill the spa to
the level shown in step 3 on page 8.
• Adjust the pH balance and sanitizer level if needed
(see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).
WEEKLY
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, hang it over a clothesline and spray it
with a hose. Allow the cover to dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The surround has been treated at the factory. For
information and supplies to maintain the beauty and
color of your surround, call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-877-897-7493.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. Follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the
power.
2. Remove the filter
cap.
3. Lift the filter from
the filter housing.
4.
Check the filter
for dirt and
debris. If the filter
needs to be
cleaned, rinse the
filter with a hose.
If the filter is still
dirty, soak it in a
cleaning solution
obtained from a
pool and spa
supply store.
5. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if
there are any signs of damage.
6. Re-insert the cleaned or new filter into the filter
housing.
7. Re-attach the filter cap.
SANITIZING THE SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors such as user load, temperature, water
conditions, and so forth.
Proper water maintenance is a complex process. We
recommend that you contact your local pool and spa
supplier for information about how to do this.
