General Maintenance
Every two to five months, depending on frequency of use, drain your spa, clean with spa
multi-purpose cleaner (found in your chemical maintenance kit) and polish with a silicone
sealant polish.
To temporarily remove foam, apply anti-foaming agent to foamy areas. To correct the
condition, be sure the water is balanced.
Be sure to add a metal build up inhibitor each time you are refilling your spa. Shock treat
the water with a non-chlorine shock each week.
It is important to use scale and stain inhibitor weekly to prevent calcium deposits from
damaging your spa and equipment. If this happens, it could void the warranty. Refer to your
chemical handbook for further information on water chemistry and troubleshooting.
DRAINING THE WATER
Locate drain hose near or around the equipment. Remove cap and attach garden hose. Open
the back valve on hose bib to drain spa.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
At least once a week, check and clean the skimmer basket and weir to insure proper filter
flow. Remove leaves, foreign matter and debris when present. It is very important to keep
your spa filter cartridge clean and free of particles that can obstruct water flow. A clean
filter will permit the hydrotherapy system to function properly and also allows more
efficient filtering. Depending on how frequently your spa is used, we recommend cleaning
the spa filter cartridge every four to six weeks. If this is not done, the filter may clog and
restrict water flow, which causes inadequate filtration and poor jet performance.
