Your new spa is equipped with an
advanced 2-stage filtration system. Fine debris are filtered by the
circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and
pleated filter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large
debris are filtered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in
use or during a programmed filter cycle. These pumps draw water from
footwell suction fitting and through a secondary water polishing bag filter
and additional filter. The exclusive footwell “sweeper” suction fitting
enhances filtration in the footwell area by creating a “swirling” water
motion t
o maximize particle agitation and pickup.
