1. DRAINING YOUR SPA
Detergent residues from bathing suits as well
as soap film from your body may gradually
accumulate in the water. Foam inhibitors wfl/
suppress the foam b~Jt \vill nQt remove the
soap from the water. Eventually, the SQap
build-up in the water will concentrate enough
to leave an unclean feeling on the user's skin,
cause sudsing and make the water impos-
sible to clarify. Depending on tl)e amount of
soap input, the spa water should last between
two and three months.
To drain your spa:
A. Turn the power off at the GFCI breaker.
B. Attach a garden hose to the yellow hose
bib (III. 1 No.9) located under ths filter housing
inside the equipment and route the Dutlat of the
hose to an appropriate draining area.. The spa
will empty by gravity. Siphon or scoop out the
balance of the water.
To clean the filter:
A. Remove the cartridge and spray it with a
garden hose. it v"ill be necessary to rotate the
cartridge while spraying so as to thoroughly
remove the debris lodged between the filter
pleats.
B. After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge
for calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film. Rapid
mjnGraJ build~up from hard water, or on bund~
up from the use of oll-bas&d water scent or
body oil may coat the filter cartridge. A filter
cleaner to soak the cartridge is available from
your VITA SPA Dealer and should be used as
part of your spa maintGnance.

tom of the filter housing. Replace the cartridge.
