DO NOT DIVE.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recom-
mended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it
more often.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
• See page 11.
CLEAN YOUR SPA SURFACE
• With a soft cloth, wipe down the spa surface with a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner that may
be purchased through your local spa dealer. Do not use paper towels. Be sure to rinse residue
from spa surface.
• If your spa has developed an oily or chalky residue at the waterline it may require special treat-
ment. Consult your dealer.
REFILL YOUR SPA
• Be sure to close the drain valve.
• Fill the spa with water. Be sure water level is above skimmer opening to the minimum safe water
level label.
• Refer to the start-up section for specific instructions.
CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENT
(also reference page 35)
• The filter elements are one of the most important components of your spa. Not only are they
essential for clean water, but they also extend the life of the spa equipment. You filter elements
should be cleaned on a regular basis, once a month on average with normal usage. With heavy
use the filters may need to be cleaned more often. Do not soak Eco Pur filters in filter cleaner.
• Turn off the spa before servicing filters. Never leave to the spa running when removing the fil-
ters. Debris can be pulled into the plumbing system and cause unwarranted damage.
• Remove filter element.
• With a garden hose, spray the element under pressure. Periodically, the element needs to be
soaked in a filter cleaner compound. Do not soak Eco Pur filters in filter cleaner. Check with your
dealer for details on cleaning and/or filter replacement recommendations.
• Replace filter element.
• Be sure water level is adequate.
• Turn spa on.
• Only clean the ECO PUR filter element with water, do not use chemical cleaners.
CARE OF YOUR SPA PILLOWS
• Your spa pillows need to be rinsed periodically to remove any chemical residue. This should help
to eliminate pillows becoming stiff and discolored.
• If the spa will not be used for a period of time, the pillows should be removed to extend their
useful life.
NOTE: Do not cover the spa for 15 minutes after adding chemicals as the off gas can
cause unwarranted damage.
