MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recom-
mended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it
more often.
DRAIN YOUR SPA
• See pages 11 & 68.
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 treat-
ment. Consult your dealer.
REFILL YOUR SPA
• Be sure to close the drain valve.
• Fill the swim spa with water and be sure that water level is above the skimmer opening at the
minimum safe water level sticker.
• Refer to the start-up section for specific instructions.
CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENT (also reference page 69)
• 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. Your 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 swim spa before servicing filters. Never leave to the swim spa running when remov-
ing 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. Do not soak Eco Pur filters in cleaner compounds. Check
with your dealer for details on cleaning and/or filter replacement recommendations.
• Replace filter element. Care must be taken NOT to over tighten the threaded filter element.
he filter needs to be lightly snugged and no more.
• 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 residue. 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.
