2. Remove the cartridge from filter canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Grip the filter by the handle and unscrew it from the
canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter
by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.
3. Fill the spa.
Place a garden hose in the filter canister and fill your spa.
Always fill the spa through the filter canister. Failure
to do so may cause air to be trapped in the filtration system
and prevent the pumps from operating properly.
Never fill your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the water to foam, which
will ultimately harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.

Fill the spa until water level is about six inches from the top.
If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not
operate properly.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Rotate and remove the black locking ring. Remove the
black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the filter by the
handle and unscrew it from the canister. Replace and
lock the locking ring and slide the skimmer cap and
barrel back in the canister.
Note: The skimmer cap and barrel were locked in place
at the factory to prevent damage during shipment. It
must be unlocked and replaced in the filter canister so that
it can float when the spa is filled. If you do not remove the
cap and barrel, your spa's filtration system will not perform
as it was designed to.
After you remove the filter, remove the plastic
wrapper and soak it in water for 30 minutes before
you replace it. A dry filter can allow air into the
filtration system which can cause the pump to fail
to prime.
