Cycle Valve Strainer
If there is a decreased water flow from the six-jet
wave seat, the cycle valve strainer should be cleaned.
The spa must be drained before accessing the strainer.
To access the strainer, remove all the screws securing
the skirt panel indicated. Locate the knurled union and
unscrew it. Separate the union from the cycle valve and
remove the strainer. Clean by flushing any debris. After
cleaning, replace the strainer by reversing the above
procedure. Refill the spa. Before reinstalling the skirt,
check for leaks with the jet pumps operating.

Automatic Filtration/Maintenance

If you plan to be away, minimum water quality will be
maintained by running the filter system.
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 qual-
ity while away for less than two weeks is to follow the
procedure outlined for winterizing your spa in a warm
climate. (Refer to Winterizing.)
NOTE: We do not recommend using this procedure
if you are absent during the summer, when algae
buildup 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.
