CLEANING THE FILTER:

Your Baja Spa comes complete with a 50 Sq. Ft. filter cartridge that is designed to work under pressure. With normal use, 

this filter should be removed a minimum of once every 30 days, or anytime you notice an appreciable decrease of the flow 

from the spa jets. You should take time to clean the filter.

TO CLEAN THE FILTER:

1.  TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE EQUIPMENT MODULE.

2.  REMOvE THE COvER FROM THE FILTER UNIT.

3.  OPEN AIR RELIEF PLUG.

4.  PULL GRAY TAB AND TURN LOCK RING COUNTERCLOCKWISE (LEFT).

5.  REMOvE  CARTRIDGE  FROM  THE  FILTER  HOUSING  AND  CLEAN  THOROUGHLY  WITH  PRESSURE  SPRAY 

FROM A NOzzLE ON A GARDEN HOSE.

6.  REPLACE THE CLEANED FILTER AND TIGHTEN THE LOCKING RING.

7.  TURN ON POWER TO THE EQUIPMENT MODULE.

8.  WHEN THE WATER COMES OUT OF THE AIR RELIEF PLUG, CLOSE IT.

9.  WHEN WATER IS FULLY FLOWING, SET THERMOSTAT TO DESIRED WATER TEMPERATURE.

It is recommended to completely drain the spa at least four times a year. More frequent draining may be required depending 

on usage. The spa should also be drained if it is not going to be used for a long period. An empty spa MUST BE COvERED. 

Direct sunlight on the acrylic surface can cause severe damage or blemishing of the surface, and can result in voiding the 

spa warranty. A cover is supplied with each new spa.
