There are no user serviceable parts inside.
SAFETY INFORMATION AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal 98.6°F (37ºC). The symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
INSTALLATION PLANNING A LOCATION FOR YOUR SPA Consider these things when determining where to place your spa. SAFETY FIRST: Make sure your spa is positioned so access to the equipment compartment and side panels will not be blocked. Be certain your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements. PLANNED USE OF SPA: How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position the spa.
INSTALLATION BE AWARE: Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the spa warranty. It is the sole responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa. Make sure the foundation where the spa is placed drains water away from the spa. Proper drainage will keep components dry from rain and wet weather. Your spa weight must always be considered when installing your spa.

ADDING START-UP CHEMICALS WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES Spa water chemistry is ultimately the responsibility of the spa owner. Improper water chemistry may result in costly repairs not covered under the spa warranty. If unsure about any step in the process, please contact a Customer Care Associate at (888) 961-7727 Ext. 8440. Initially, it is advisable to identify what minerals (e.g. iron) are present in the local source water. This will provide a better understanding of how to treat the water.
SPA MAINTENANCE FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE Every month, the filter cartridge should be cleaned to remove the objects and particles that have lodged in the cartridge pleats. Using household water pressure and a garden hose with a pressurized nozzle, push water from inside to outside of the pleats, forcing all the trapped particles out. NOTE: Never run your spa without a filter cartridge!!! This will invalidate your warranty.
SPA MAINTENANCE SURFACE CARE Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the spa. Typically, a mild detergent and water will resolve cleaning issues. COVER CARE Please keep your cover free from dirt at all times. Use a cover cleaner or a warm mild soapy water to clean the surface. Do not use any silicone-based products, as it will dry and may eventually crack the vinyl. NOTE: Do not stand on the cover at any time. Remove the cover when adding chemicals to your spa.
DRAINING OR WINTERIZING Every three to six months, depending upon the water condition, you need to renew your water. CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING YOUR SPA • To prevent damage to the spa’s components, unplug the spa from the outlet or turn off breaker (230V) before draining. Do not power up your spa until your spa has been refilled with water. • There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa.
