MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
25
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy
environment. It is recommended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days.
Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often.
DRAIN YOUR SPA
• See page 11.
CLEAN YOUR SPA SURFACE
With a soft cloth, wipe down the spa surface with a non-abrasive spa surface
cleaner that may be purchased through your local spa dealer. Do not use paper
towels. Be sure to rinse residue from spa surface.
If your spa has developed an oily or chalky residue at the waterline it may
require special treatment. Consult your dealer.
REFILL YOUR SPA
• Be sure to close the drain valve.
Fill the spa with water. Be sure water level is above skimmer opening to the
minimum safe water level label.
• Refer to your spas corresponding start-up section with any questions.
CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENT (also reference page 49)
The filter elements are one of the most important components of your spa.
Not only are they essential for clean water, but they also extend the life of the
spa equipment. You filter elements should be cleaned on a regular basis, once
a month on average with normal usage. With heavy use the filters may need
to be cleaned more often.
Turn off the spa before servicing filters. Never leave to the spa running when
removing the filters. Debris can be pulled into the plumbing system and cause
unwarranted damage.
• Remove filter element.
With a garden hose, spray the element under pressure. Periodically, the
element needs to be soaked in a filter cleaner compound. Check with your
dealer for details on cleaning and/or filter replacement recommendations.
• Replace filter element.
• Be sure water level is adequate.
• Turn spa on.
CARE OF YOUR SPA PILLOWS
Your spa pillows need to be rinsed periodically to remove any chemical resi-
due. This should help to eliminate pillows becoming stiff and discolored.
If the swim spa will not be used for a period of time, the pillows should be
removed to extend their useful life.
NOTE: Do not cover the spa for 15 minutes after adding chemicals as the sanitizer
off gas can cause unwarranted damage.
