Maintenance

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of
enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to
properly maintain your spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown in step 5 on page 9.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).
Weekly
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
Monthly
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER on this page).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
Every Three Months
• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes. (See CLEANING THE SPA SHELL below.)
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The cedar surround has been treated at the factory.
For information and supplies to maintain the beauty
and color of your cedar surround, contact your local
pool or spa supply dealer.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution; do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on
the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the
cover from sun damage.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions, etc. Proper water maintenance is a com-
plex process. We recommend that you contact your
local pool and spa supplier for information about how
to accomplish this.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow
the steps below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove the filter
cover.
3. Remove the basket,
the diverter, the car-
tridge plug, and the
filter cartridge from
the filter housing.
4. Check the filter car-
tridge for dirt and
debris. If the car-
tridge needs to be
cleaned, rinse it with
a hose. If the car-
tridge is still dirty,
soak it in cleaning
solution from a pool
and spa supply store.
5. Inspect the filter car-
tridge for damage. Replace the cartridge if it is
damaged.
6. Insert the cleaned or new filter cartridge into the fil-
ter housing.
7. Re-attach the filter cover.
