MAINTENANCE
Pump/Motor Strainer
To cleanstrainer for the pump/motor, turn circuit
breaker off. For Laser and Santina remove access panel
shown in specifications. For Quantum remove same
panel as for cycle valve strainer. For Triton remove left
side panel. For Pinnacle remove right front panel. Close
the slice valves (one located on the suction side of pump
and the other on the side of strainer assembly. Remove
clean and reinstall strainer assembly. (On some models
the strainer may be on other side of pump from whatis
shown below.)Open slice valves, run pump and check
for leaks. Remove any water before reinstalling panel.
This procedure can be performed with the spa drained.
If drained check for leaks.

Factory Installed Wood Skirt

Your spa is supplied with a factory-installed wood
skirt which completely surrounds the spa. The skirt can
be opened for service.
If it becomes necessary to remove one or more of
the skirt panels for service access, simply remove the
screws with which the section is secured.
To detach any of the panels, first remove all screws
from the panel being detached.
The panels can be reattached to the spa by revers-
ing the above procedure.
NOTE: When you remove the skirt, you will notice
the plastic covered insulating batts. These batts are
designed to be removed when service is required
and reinstalled when service has been completed.

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.)

ASSEMBLY
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.

Winterizing

In a climate where winter temperatures are below
freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will
NOT be used:
1. Turn OFF power to the unit at the main electric panel.
2. Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose
to the drain valve. Then remove the hose and leave
the drain valve open to drain the spa of any residual
water. After the spa has drained, turn circuit breaker
on and turn the blower on briefly. Note: Stand back
to avoid any spray. Turn circuit breaker off. This will
evacuate any residual water from the air injector
lines. Remove any remaining water in the seating
areas and footwell.
3. Open all pump/motor unions as shown. Remove
spring clamp, disconnect hose from barbed fitting
and drain. After draining, close the union hand tight
and reinstall circulating pump hose and clamp. Re-
move any residual water from the pan. When refilling
spa, check for leaks.

4. Remove, clean and store the filter cartridges, in a dry
location.
5. Keep water and debris out by covering with a spa
cover.
Before using the spa again, review the Operating
Instructions.
In a warm climate where there are occasional freez-
ing temperatures, your spa is automatically protected
against freezing. Whenever the water temperature falls
to 40°F, the pumps will activate to circulate water until
the temperature reaches 45°F.
To maintain water quality adjust temperature set-
point to the minimum setting (80°F).
