Water Line
To avoid buildup of oils and lotions at the water line, clean the interior weekly or
when needed. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.
NOTE: Do not use the same brush or sponge to clean the exterior of the spa
and the interior of the spa. Soap and other product residue used on the out-
side of the spa can cause foaming of the spa water and scratches to the spa
surface if used on the inside of the spa.
SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING THE SPA
If you decide to discontinue the use of your spa for any extended period of
time, we suggest you follow the steps below.
NOTE: During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment
from condensation within the equipment compartment. Failure to follow these
instructions during freezing conditions will result in cracked fitting(s) and glue
joints, and other damage.
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
2. Drain the spa. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA.)
3. Remove all residual water from the seating and footwell. If necessary, bail
out the remaining water, then dry the spa with towels. A wet/dry vacuum
is recommended for best results.
4. When using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum nozzle over each jet
nozzle to remove water from plumbing lines, starting with the highest jet
and finishing with the lowest jet. NOTE: The spa is equipped with a zone
control which is used to divert water between different jet zones. The valve
must be "open" to the particular jets you are vacuuming.
5. Unscrew the pump plug(s) from the pump(s). (See STARTING YOUR SPA.)
6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place nozzle over the exposed pump
opening(s) to remove excess water. The pump(s) should be removed from
the spa and stored in a climate-controlled room.
7. Clean the spa interior.
8. Clean the filter cartridges.
9. Reinstall the DuraCover
spa surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in the
voiding of any surface warranties.
