Automatic Filtration/Maintenance

If you plan to be away, you should maintain minimum water quality by running the filter system.  To do this, set the timer

to turn the system on for at least two hours each day.  This will cause the filter system to turn on at a desired time.  Set
the timer according to instructions on page 8 with the SYSTEM switch OFF.

If you will be away for an extended period, however, we recommend that you drain the spa (following the procedure

described under “Winterizing” on this page), as long periods without maintenance of water quality could be detrimental to
the spa.

Another means of maintaining minimum water quality while away for less than two weeks is to follow the procedure

outlined for winterizing your spa in a warm climate.  We do not recommend using this procedure more than 1 week
during the summer, when algae build-up is most likely.

Always keep your spa covered when not in use to reduce heat loss and evaporation and to prevent debris

from falling in.

MAINTENANCE

Winterizing

In a climate where winter temperatures are below

freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will NOT be
used:

1. Select the OFF mode.

2. Turn off power to the unit at the house circuit breaker.

3. Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose to

the hose bibb on the suction plumbing.  Then remove
the hose and leave the hose bibb open to completely
drain the spa.  Close the hose bibb.

4. Remove the filter cartridges, clean them, and store

them dry.

5. Keep water and debris out by covering with a rigid spa

cover.

6. Before using the spa again, review the Operating In-

structions.

CAUTION:  Not winterizing will cause irreversible dam-
age (at freezing temperatures) to the pump and/or
plumbing lines.

Note:  If the spa is to be used during winter in a cold climate,
see warm climate instructions below.

In a warm climate where there are occasional freezing

temperatures, follow this procedure:

1. Select the HTR/FILTER mode.

2. Set the thermostat to its minimum temperature 7

°

 to

10

°

C (45

°

 to 50

°

F) by turning the dial all the way

counterclockwise.

3. Maintain a chemical balance. (See “Water Quality”

section.)

4. Keep the spa covered.

Factory Installed Redwood Skirt

Your Quantum Plus spa is supplied with a factory-installed

redwood skirt which completely surrounds the spa.  The
door can be opened for routine maintenance, setting the
timer, and for testing the ELCB before use.

The skirt is made of kiln-dried redwood and can be left

natural to weather, or you may choose to apply a stain or
clear finish. Consult your local paint dealer for the appropri-
ate product.  NOTE:  WE RECOMMEND A WATER BASED
MATERIAL.  OIL OR SOLVENT BASED FINISHING MA-
TERIALS DEGRADE THE SKIRT BACKING MATERIAL.

It may become necessary to remove one or more of the

skirt panels for major service access, but all the panels
must be securely in place during use of the spa.

To detach any of the panels, first remove all screws from

the panel being detached.

The panels can be re-attached to the spa by reversing

the above procedure.
