Regular Hot Tub Maintenance Procedures
There is some basic maintenance that will need to be performed on your hot tub. By following these basic maintenance suggested
procedures, you will insure that your spa provides years of service. These basic maintenance procedures are not covered under
warranty.
Testing the G.F.C.I.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.) protection for the hot tub should be tested prior to each use by the homeowner. With
the hot tub in operation, push the "test" button on the G.F.C.I. breaker at the panel box. The spa should shut down immediately.
Now reset the G.F.C.I. The hot tub should return to normal operation. If the G.F.C.I. fails to operate in this manner, there exists a
possibility of electrical shock. Discontinue hot tub operation by turning off power and disconnecting the power source and notify a
qualified electrician for identification and correction of the problem.
Cleaning Jets
Most of the jets in your hot tub are able to be turned on or off. Over time they may become difficult to turn. When this happens it
will be necessary to remove the jet and clean any grit or debris from the jet body. To remove the jet you will need to turn the face
of it counter clockwise until it stops. Next continue to turn the jet counter clockwise as you pull on the face. The jet will then pull
away from the jet body. Clean jet body with cloth to remove all debris.
To clean the jet barrels you can soak them overnight in white vinegar. Once the jet has soaked overnight rinse thoroughly with
water. To reinsert the jet barrel into the jet body simply put the barrel back into the body and push while turning clockwise.
Cleaning Diverter Valves
Due to mineral deposits, grit, and sand that may get into the internal parts of the diverter valve, it may become hard to turn or lock
up completely. In the event this happens it will become necessary to remove the handle, cap, and puck to clean out the diverter
valve. Follow the steps below to clean out the diverter valve.
1. Turn off power to spa.
2. Remove handle and loosen diverter valve cap. If that cap can not be removed by hand you may need to use a wrench.
Before you place a wrench on the cap cover it first with a clean rag.
3. Pull the cap off of the diverter valve. The puck may or may not come out with the lid. You may need to pull the puck out of
the body with a pair of plyers.
4. Wipe down the puck as well as the diverter body to remove all grit and debris. Soak in white vinegar if needed.
5. Place the puck back into the diverter body. Check the large o-ring to make sure it is seated correctly on top of the diverter
housing.
6. Check the two stem o-rings to make sure they are both in the center of the lid before reinstalling and tightening the lid.
7. Reinstall the handle and turn the power back on.
Perma-Wood™ Cabinet Care
Your hot tub cabinet is constructed from a wood alternative, polymer material designed to be durable, tough, and virtually
maintenance-free. It may require periodic cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner and/or rinsed with a hose.
Pillow Care
Your hot tub pillows should periodically be rinsed to clear them of any chemical residue. If the unit is not intended to be used for
a period of time, it is recommended to remove them for extended life.
Stainless Jet Finish Care
The stainless trim on your jets can keep it's luster for many years with proper care. Frequent wiping with clean water and a
good car cleaning wax at time of drain and refill will protect against possible rusting. Never clean with bleach, corrosive
materials or abrasive material such as steel wool. High levels of chlorine may cause corrosion / rust. Failure to properly care for
stainless steel components could result in rust formation which is not covered under the warranty.
