HOW TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR HOT TUB
There are some simple steps you can take to prolong the life of your hot
tub. Please follow the guidelines listed below to ensure the most trouble-
free and enjoyable use of your spa.
Rinse your feet
Please remember to rinse your feet before getting into the hot tub. This will
help prevent sand and dirt from entering the plumbing system where it can
clog valves and plug filters.
For beaches or coastal areas
If you are in an area prone to debris, such as fine sand or dirt, around or near
the hot tub you may want to use a suction sock to help prevent debris from
being drawn into the plumbing by the suction fittings. Suction socks are
available from your Marquis Dealer.
Maintain your valves
If one of your valves begins to feel hard to turn, please remove the valve
and rinse it. To remove the valve, please turn the power off to the spa and
remove the handle for the valve. Remove the top cap off of the valve by
pushing inward and lifting the decorative top off to expose the cap base and
access the valve insert. Pull straight up on the insert, removing the valve
stem. Clean and return the valve stem, then replace decorative top cap by
pressing back into place. Slight scratches may be smoothed using fine grit
sandpaper to remove scratches prior to re-installation.
Instructions for removing and changing Jetpods
To remove:
1. Using a thin #1 flat-head screwdriver, carefully place the head of the
screwdriver in-between the top of the dark gray Jetpod face and the
light gray Jetpod grill, off center to release the top tab.
2. The grill will now lift up and out, with two smaller tabs at either side. To
reinstall:
3. Align the two small tabs on the side of the Jetpod grill above the side
edges and slide the small tabs into both sides, steadying the grill in the
center.
4. Once both side tabs are installed on either side, slide downward.
5. Press the top tab into the center of the top grill of the Jetpod. When you
hear a click the Jetpod has been locked into place.

Keep the cover on
Always keep your hot tub cover closed when the spa is not in use. This
helps prevent unwanted debris from entering the hot tub and prevents sun
exposure that could damage the surface and the jets of the hot tub. For full
warranty coverage, please note the spa must remain covered at all times
when not in use.
