WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Removing Debris
Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction
guard(s) on the inside of the spa. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of
water through the jetting system.
Water Level
Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds up
the Vortex skimmer opening. (See STARTING YOUR SPA.) Low and high water
levels can damage your spa. It is important to check your water level often.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Filter Care
We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water
filtration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent
your chemicals from working properly. Dirty filters can also cause low flow
from jets, poor water clarity and sensors to activate error codes. It is impor-
tant to clean filters regularly. Many water treatment products clear or clarify
the water by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so that
these larger particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter clogged
with debris and calcium deposits does not trap particles properly. Soak your
filter cartridges in Filter Cleaner monthly.
The Maintenance Reminder on the spa-side control panel indicates a CL
every 30 days to remind you to clean your filter.
Removing the Filter
Turn off the spa breaker. Grasp the edge of the Vortex skimmer lid, waterfall
or tray, pull up firmly, but gently, to remove it.
Turn the filter cartridge counterclockwise to unscrew it from its base. Lift out
the filter cartridge.
Use a hose to clean the filter cartridge and Filter Cleaner to soak the filters.
NOTE: Keep an extra set of filters on hand so you always have a clean set
ready for immediate spa enjoyment. Remember to replace the filter car-
tridges at least once a year.
Reinstalling the Filter
Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not overtighten the filter as it may
cause the threads on the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in place.
When replacing the Waterfall, center the top over the raised filter ring and
press down firmly until the top snaps into place. (See INSTALLATION IN-
STRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridges.)
CAUTION: Overtightening of the filter can cause the filter or filter housing
to crack. Tighten filter until it is just snug.
NOTE: Filters and filter lids do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts
can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized
