CLEANING YOUR FILTER
Cleaning the Filter Basket:
1. Put the spa in "Standby Mode". This will prevent
the pump from activating while cleaning the basket.
(See "Standby Mode" under "OPERATION" in this
Owner's Manual.)
2. Remove skimmer face-plate and basket (Fig. V &
W).
3. Clean the basket. Avoid hitting basket against
objects to knock debris loose as this can break
basket.
4. Reinstall skimmer face-plate and basket.
5. Press any button on the control pad to reset the
control system.
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge:
It is recommended that your Filter Cartridge(s) be
cleaned every 3 to 6 weeks or as needed. Replace
the Filter Cartridge(s) approximately every two years
or when necessary. To maintain warranty protection,
use only Bullfrog Filter Cartridge replacements.
1. Put the spa in "Standby Mode". This will prevent
the pump from activating while cleaning the
cartridge. (See “Standby Mode” under "OPERATION"
in this Owner's Manual.)
2. Remove skimmer face-plate and basket.
3. Grasp cartridge(s) and lift out. With a garden hose
and nozzle or other high pressure device, hose
cartridge(s) clean with jet stream of water. Work top
to bottom on each pleat. To remove collected suntan
lotions and body oils that hosing will not remove;
soak cartridge(s) in warm water with a FILTER
CLEANER or detergent added. To remove calcium
deposits (a white chalky material) soak cartridge(s)
in a one part muriatic acid to ten parts water
solution. USE A PLASTIC CONTAINER ONLY. Calcium
deposits indicate a high spa pH, which should be
corrected.
5. CAUTION: Using a brush to clean a cartridge
could damage it. Commercially available cartridge
cleaners may be used and can be obtained from
your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer.
6. Reinstall cartridge(s), basket and skimmer face-
plate.
7. Press any button on the control pad to reset the
control system.
