SPA CARE

FILTER CLEANING

®
Always make sure the spa is off before removing and cleaning the Aqua Klean filter bags. We
®
recommend the Aqua Klean filter bags to be cleaned every two weeks to avoid a decrease in jet
performance. On initial start-up, the filters should be cleaned every other day for the first two weeks of
operation.
To clean the filter bags, simply place them into the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Water
temperature selection should be warm wash. Clean using ¼ cup of bleach, and ½ capful of liquid
detergent. Do not machine dry.

CARE FOR SPA SURFACE

L.A. Spas have a very high quality finish. Stains and dirt will generally not adhere to the surface. After
draining the spa, wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth (or sponge) using household soap or liquid
detergent. Stubborn dirt and stains maybe removed by using Spic & Span adequately dissolved in
water. Be sure to rinse detergent well as this will cause suds when refilling the spa.

CARE FOR SPA PILLOWS

Due to the nature of a spa's environment, spa pillows are exposed to chemicals, which in turn can affect
the pillow's useful life. To be extra careful, we encourage you to always remove the spa pillows when
adding chemical treatments to your spa's water. The spa pillows can then be re-installed to the spa
when the chemical level is at the recommended parts per million (PPM). For most spas, this is between
3-5 PPM.
Furthermore, spa pillows should be cleaned regularly. To do this, remove the pillows from your spa, and
then wipe the pillows with a soft damp cloth using mild dish washing soap and warm water. Rinse off
the excess soapy water, and then simply re-install the pillows onto your spa.

CARE OF SPA CABINET (THERMOPLUS CABINET)

Your ThermoPlus cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet
with a clean towel and mild detergent soap solution.
CAUTION – Do not use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents. Do not stain, paint or
otherwise cover the cabinet with any substance since these can and will damage the ultraviolet clear
coat used on the surface of the ThermoPlus spa skirt and void your warranty.

CARE FOR THERM-RITE SPA COVER
TM
Your Therm-Rite spa cover is an extremely durable foam insulated product. When your spa is not in
use, it is highly recommended that the cover tie downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised
TM
children from entering the spa and to minimize heat loss. See your Therm-Rite spa cover Owner's
Manual for proper installation instructions.
Spa covers should be cleaned regularly. To clean the cover, simply wipe the cover using a clean towel
with a mild detergent or soap solution. Do not use any cleaning products containing abrasives or
solvents since these could damage the cover surface and void your warranty. You may wax the spa
