Maintenance
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown on page 9, step 3.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level; adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).
• 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 this page).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER on this page).
• 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
Clean the entire spa cover monthly using water and a
non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on
the cover after you clean it to help protect it from sun
damage.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa. The most com-
mon sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate.
The amount required varies according to several fac-
tors, such as user load, temperature, water conditions,
etc.
Proper water maintenance is a complex process. We
recommend that you contact your local pool and spa
supplier for information on how to do this.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
Check the filter periodically for build-up of dirt and oil.
If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow the steps
below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove the two
screws from the
filter cover. Be
careful not to
strip the threads
from the holes.
Remove the filter
cover.
3. Lift the filter out of
the filter housing.
4. Check the filter for
any dirt or debris.
If the filter needs
to be cleaned,
rinse the filter with
a hose. If the filter
is still dirty, soak it
in a cleaning solu-
tion obtained from
a pool and spa supply store.
5. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if
there are any signs of damage.
6. Re-insert the cleaned filter into the filter housing.
7. Re-attach the filter cover with the screws. Do not
overtighten the screws.
