SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Filter Cleaning and Cartridge Replacement
The filter(s) in your spa should be cleaned at least every 5-6 weeks, depending on spa usage. This will ensure that the water is being
filtered properly, and there is no restriction in the filter due to dirt and grease build-up. Turn off spa, remove filter lid and set aside.
Remove filter skimmer basked by turning counterclockwise. Remove filter element and replace. Reinstall skimmer basket clockwise
and turn spa back on.
Cleaning the filter can be done easily using a Filter Degreaser solution and following
the directions on the bottle. Soak filter in a degreaser and power wash with a garden
hose. It is recommended to have a second filter, which can be cleaned between filter
changes. This will enable you to quickly exchange the dirty filter with a clean filter
and immediately re-start your spa.
Filter Element
Care Of The Exterior
Spa Shell
Your spa shell is made of acrylic. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to the surface. Using a soft rag or a nylon scrubber should
easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. See your dealer for the best product to use. The
only products which have passed the manufacturer’s test are Soft Towel and Windex. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be
used for minor surface cleaning. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
NOTES: Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your Hydro Spa dealer about a stain
and scale inhibitor to use if your spa water has a high concentration of dissolved minerals.
The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT
use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. NEVER USE HARSH
CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals in not covered under the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Some surface cleaners contain eye and skin irritants. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when
applying.
Maintenance Free Cabinet
Spas consist of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic with the beauty of a redwood or gray cabinet. The spa cabinet
will not crack, peel, blister or delaminate. Cleaning consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and water solution to
remove any stains and residue.
Draining Your Spa
Remove screws from cabinet panel door and set aside as shown below.

! Select a safe suitable drainage area capable of safely assimilating 300 plus gallons of water, which may contain both
unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue that could cause harm to plants or grass.
! Twist the drain fitting counter clockwise to open valve, and pull outward to open completly. Remove cap and connect
garden hose and drain.
! The spa will drain by gravity flow.
! Replace cap and push the connector in and turn clockwise to close valve.
