How to prolong tHe life of your vessel
There are some simple steps you can take to prolong the life of your vessel.
Please follow the guidelines listed below to ensure the most trouble free and
enjoyable use of your vessel.
rinse your feet
Please remember to rinse your feet before getting into the vessel. This will
help prevent sand and dirt from entering the plumbing system where it can
clog valves and plug filters.
Maintain your valves
If one of your valves begins to feel hard to turn, please remove the valve
and rinse it. To remove the valve, please turn the power off to the vessel
and remove the handle for the valve. Turn the top portion of the valve cap
counter clockwise to expose the valve insert. Using the valve stem, please
pull straight up on the insert. Rinse the valve and put back the insert into the
sleeve and then replace the cap and handle. If the valve is scratched, it is
a good idea to use a fine grit sand paper to smooth the valve insert before
reinstallation.
Keep the cover on
Always keep your vessel cover closed when the vessel is not in use. This
helps prevent unwanted debris from entering the vessel and prevents sun
exposure that could damage the surface and the jets of the vessel. For full
warranty coverage, please note the vessel must remain covered at all times
when not in use.
Keep the water clear and balanced
Water chemistry is another important part of vessel ownership. Please be
sure to use only factory recommended products. In addition, please make
sure you maintain proper pH and sanitizer levels. Drain and refill your vessel
with fresh water every 3 to 4 months. On a regular basis, please use a spa
vacuum to remove dirt and sand that can be seen on the floor of the vessel.

removing Debris
Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction
guard(s) on the inside of the vessel. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of
water through the jetting system.
water level
Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds
up the Vortex skimmer opening (Marquis) and 4” (102mm) E-Series. (See
STARTING YOUR VESSEL.) Low and high water levels can damage your ves-
sel. It is important to check your water level often.
