Cleaning The Filter
DANGER:
TURN POWER TO SPA OFF! TO DECREASE RISK OF DEATH, DROWNING, OR EN-
TRAPMENT, NEVER OPERATE SPA WHEN FILTER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED OR IF SKIM-
MER ASSEMBLY IS DAMAGED OR ALTERED!
During filtration and automatic cycles, water flows through the spa skimmer and into the filter
cartridge(s) to trap suspended particles and oils on their surface pleats. To ensure optimum
performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the filter cartridge(s) once a month or sooner
depending on spa use and water quality.
Cleaning products for your spa can be purchase at ThermoSpas’ online store at
online.ThermoSpas.com.
Easy Top-Access Filter Cleaning Procedure (Do not use a pressure washer):
1.
TURN POWER TO SPA OFF!
2. Remove filter lid by pulling it upward.
3. Remove filter cartridges by grasping top filter
handle and unscrewing it from the fitting.
4. Clean filter cartridges by first filling the bucket with
water, adding 8 oz. of ThermoSpas Filter Clean.
Mix solution by moving filter cartridges up and
down several times. For best results, allow filters to
soak for 12 to 24 hours (never less than 3).
5. After soaking, remove filter and rinse out any
remaining debris. You can do this using a garden
hose with high-pressure nozzle. After rinsing, allow
filters to air dry.
Note:
If you are experiencing calcium deposits on your
filter, (a white, chalk-like substance), you may need to
soak your cartridge in “Filter Clean” for an extended pe
-
riod of time. Calcium deposits are an indication of very hard water. For instructions on what to do
if your water is unusually hard, please refer to the Chemical Care Guide that comes with your hot
tub. If you are still experiencing problems, contact the ThermoSpas Customer Care Department
at 800.876.0158.
6. To install cartridges, grasp top filter handle and screw the filter back onto fittings.
