REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform.
These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty.
CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA COVER
Always cover your swim spa when not in use with an approved insulating swim spa cover by Master
Spas. This will greatly reduce energy consumption and will cause swim spa water to heat more rap-
idly. Water loss and chemical usage will also be reduced.
• Be sure to lock down all straps on cover after each use to prevent wind damage.
• Do not allow swim spa to sit uncovered in direct sunlight. This may cause damage to exposed sur-
faces of swim spa and possible discoloration of swim spa fittings.
• Periodically hose off both sides of swim spa cover for maximum life of cover. Once a month use a
vinyl cleaner and conditioner on the vinyl portion of your cover. Rinse residue off.
• Keep cover open for 15 min. after adding chemicals to prevent off gas damage.
NOTE: If your swim spa is going to be left empty for prolonged periods, do not replace cover directly
on surface of swim spa. Place 2"-3" blocks between cover and swim spa. This allows for ade-
quate ventilation of cover and swim spa.
NOTE: The cover warranty is not part of the limited warranty provided with the swim spa. It is pro-
vided through the cover manufacturer and may not be through Master Spas. Check the tags
and labeling on your cover to verify manufacturer and refer to the manufacturer's care, main-
tenance and warranty information. Your dealer can help provide you with these details.
NOTE: Always turn water feature valve down so that the water features do not hit the cover when
the cover is closed.
CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA CABINET
The swim spa cabinet is made from a UV resistant Polymer material. The cabinet requires only peri-
odic cleaning with a stream of water from a garden hose.
FILTER CLEANING
NOTE: Never operate the swim spa without the filters installed. Damage to the pumps and other
components could result from operation without filters installed.
1. Turn power off to the swim spa.
2. Remove any large or floating debris from the filter area. For the H2X Therapool models, remove
filter lid located on top of filter weir to access filters and skip to step 6.
3. Allow the weir door to fall back towards the filters in order to remove the filter housing.
4. Lift up on the plastic housing and the entire housing will pop out.
NOTE: When lifting the housing, be careful not to lift too far, as you could break the floating weir
door. Damage to weir door is not warranted.
5. Pull the plastic skimmer plate out from the filter basket in order to gain access to the filters.
6. Unscrew the filter cartridges and remove for cleaning.
7. The filters should be rinsed off and the non-Eco-Pur filter(s) (blue filter) should be soaked in a car-
tridge cleaner. Follow applicable cartridge cleaner instructions.
8. Re-install filters and replace weir housing or filter lid.
NOTE: Do not soak the Eco-Pur filter in a filter cartridge cleaner. Rinse off only.
NOTE: Eco-Pur filters should be replaced every 6 months. Non Eco-Pur filters should be replaced
every 12 months or as necessary depending on water quality, filter maintenance and bather
load.
