the locating grooves. The filter face plate will not install if you have the leaf tray outside of the
locating grooves.

To install the face plate on the filter box slide the face plate vertically downwards.
Note:
The black filter face will go white where the water and air meets from chemical exposure.
This is unpreventable and can occur very quickly if you over sanitize the water.
WEEKLY FILTERS CLEANING
Once a week remove the filters from the spa and wash thoroughly with a garden hose, then place the filter
in a bucket of cold water and add 125ml of Filter Cleaner & Degreaser #9 or Filter Cleaner & Degreaser
1Litre Bottle. Agitate the water and leave the filter submerged to soak for 24 hours. After 24hours remove
the filter, wash it thoroughly and allow it to completely dry out in an area exposed to the sun or wind.
It is recommended to purchase a spare filter and alternate between the filter each week to make the
cleaning process easier. Filters which are not cleaned weekly can cause your spa to stop cleaning &
heating.
You filter needs to be replaced every twelve months, however if you are rotating between two filters this will
require replacement every two years. To order your replacement filter

FILLING YOUR SPA WITH WATER – AVOIDING AIR LOCKS
The correct way to fill your spa with water is to remove the spas filters
and place your hose inside the filter box. Be sure to remove the fitting
off the hose to prevent it from falling into the spas plumbing.
Placing the hose inside the spas main seating area may cause a build-
up of air inside the plumbing creating an air lock. Air locks can stop the
pumps and heater from working.
To help avoid this problem ensure you fill up the spa through the filter box. You can tell if you have an air
lock by turning on the pumps, if no water appears to circulate through the system it is very likely that you
have an air lock. To resolve this problem, turn the pump off and loosen the unions at the side of the suction
end of the pump until water begins to flow through, then retighten the union and try turning the pump on
again.
Alternatively contact the store of purchase for advice on other ways to remove an air lock.
Note:
Please ensure the drain fitting is closed before filling the spa with water, see instructions on page 8.
HARDCOVER INSTALLATION
Locate the green bag, which is taped to the spas packaging. This bag has the screws to fit your hardcover
locks to the spas cabinet as well as a key for the hardcover locks. Use the smaller screws supplied in this
bag.
Place your hardcover on the spa and position it to fold in the direction of your preference.
On each strap of the hardcover there is a black plastic lock. Press the two prongs on each lock together
and gently pull downwards to remove the section of the lock which you will need to screw onto the spas
cabinet. With the section of the lock you have in your hand place it behind the prongs which are attached to
the hardcover strap lined up so that the bottom of each part is flush. Now raise the section of the lock you
have in your hand towards the top of the spa by 2cm and mark the position of the two holes on each lock
onto the spas cabinet. Using the smaller screws supplied in the green bag screw each lock onto the spas
cabinet. Do not pre-drill holes the screws will self-tap in, if using a drill stop before the screw is completely
tight and finish tightening the screw by hand, if you over tighten the lock you will crack the plastic.
HARDCOVER USE & CARE
To lift the hardcover, place your hand underneath the valance and lift the hardcover itself not from the
handles or valance. The handles & valance on the hardcover are not for lifting or pulling the hardcover,
lifting or pulling on the handles or valance will tear the vinyl & stitching. Never stand, sit or apply any weight
to the hardcover this will bend or break the hardcover. Do not open the zippers on your hardcover they can
be extremely difficult to close and may not close at all. To clean your hardcover wipe both the top vinyl and
underside over with a damp fresh tap water cloth. Do not use the spas water to wipe the hardcover this will
