Automatic Filtration/Maintenance

If you plan to be away, you should maintain minimum water quality by running the filter system. To do this, set the timer
to turn the system on for at least two hours each day. This will cause the filter system to turn on at a desired time. Set the
timer according to instructions on page 8 with the SYSTEM switch turned to OFF. If you do not want the water to be heated,
turn the HEATER CONTROL knob to its minimum setting.
If you will be away for an extended period, however, we recommend that you drain the spa (following the procedure
described under Winterizing on this page), as long periods without maintenance of water quality could be detrimental to the
spa.
Another means of maintaining minimum water quality while away for less than two weeks is to follow the procedure outlined
for winterizing your spa in a warm climate. (See Winterizing.) Note: We do not recommend using this procedure if you are
absent during the summer, when algae build-up is most likely.
Always keep your spa covered when not in use to reduce heat loss and evaporation and to prevent debris from falling in.

Winterizing

In a climate where winter temperatures are below
freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will NOT
be used:
1. Select the OFF mode.
2. Turn off power to the unit at the house circuit breaker.
Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose to
3. the hose bibb on the suction plumbing. Then remove
the hose and leave the hose bibb open to completely
drain the spa. Close the hose bibb.
Remove the lowest 1/8" plug from the face of each
4. pump housing, then replace the plug after all water has
drained out. (See figures A and B.)
Remove the filter cartridge, clean it, and store it dry.
5.
Keep water and debris out by covering with a rigid spa
6. cover.
Before using the spa again, review the Operating
7. Instructions.
CAUTION: Not winterizing will cause irreversible
damage (at freezing temperatures) to the pump
and/or plumbing lines.
Note: If the spa is to be used during winter in a cold
climate, see warm climate instructions below.
In a warm climate where there are occasional freeze-
ing temperatures, follow this procedure:
1.
Select the HTR/FLTR mode.
2.
Set the thermostat to its minimum temperature (45-50
by turning the HEATER KNOB all the way counter-
clockwise.
3.
Maintain a chemical balance. (See Water Quality
section.)
Keep the spa covered.
