Maintaining Spa Water Quality
Chemical Safety
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on
bottles and packages. Failure to follow chemical di-
rections may result in serious injury, sickness, or
even death.
Add chemicals to the center of the spa with the
pump running. Make sure the water is heated. Never
add chemicals to cold water, as this will effect chemi-
cal action. Also, never add chemicals directly into the
skimmer.
WARNING!
Never add chemicals to your spa
while bathers are in the spa!
Do not exceed chemical dosages as
recommended on chemical bottles
and packages.
Never change chemical brands or
types without completely draining,
flushing and thoroughly cleaning the
spa and cover first.
WARNING!
Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Remove and wash clothing that may
have been exposed to chemical contact prior
to wearing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will
cause serious injury, sickness, or even
death.
Chemicals must be stored com-
pletely out of the reach of children in
an area that is well vented, cool, and
dry. Failure to provide a proper area
for chemical storage may result in serious in-
jury, sickness, fire explosion and even death.
Do not store your chemicals inside the equip-
ment area of your spa.

move surface debris, your filter should be deep
cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles
that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and im-
pede the filtration process. Even if the filter looks
clean, scale and particles can clog the fibers and pre-
vent water from flowing through the filter resulting
in the most common spa problem – no heat, caused
by a dirty filter.
We recommend you clean your filter once a month
and replace it once every 6 months or as necessary.
1. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise,
unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up
and out.
2. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep
enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter
cleaner to the bucket of water.
3. Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.
4. Spray pleats of the filter with a water hose.
5. Reinstall the filter.
Tip: Keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty
filter is being deep cleaned.

Vacation Care
You can leave your spa unattended for up to two
weeks if you follow these instructions.
• ALWAYS lock your cover using the cover locks if
you plan to be away from home and the spa is
filled with water.
• Follow the water quality instructions starting on
page 19.
• Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine
sanitizer).
• When you return, check water chemistry and ad-
just accordingly.
If you will not be using your spa for longer than 14
days and a spa maintenance service is not available,
we strongly recommend you drain or winterize
your spa. See page 23 for Winterization procedure.
