MAINTENANCE

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown in step 3 on page 10.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY below).
• Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
WEEKLY
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on page 18).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. Using
water and a non-abrasive cleaner, clean the entire
spa cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to
remove any cleaner residue and then let the cover dry
completely. Use a non-silicone based vinyl conditioner
on the cover after you clean it to help protect it from
sun damage.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa shell burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover to replace it (see ATTACH-
ING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on
page 16).
Locate the light housing. Turn the housing counter-
clockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
Light Housing
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.
WATER CHEMISTRY
The maintenance of the pH level is very important to
the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH
level and to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a
chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa sup-
ply store.
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-
lines when handling the chemicals:
1. Always read and follow the directions on the
label, unless directed otherwise.
2. Never mix different chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of
chemicals—follow the directions on the label.
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children
and pets.
