Skim Filter

Proper care and cleaning of your spa filter is very important
to the enjoyment of your spa. The filter is designed to remove
emerged debris and contaminants, providing clear clean
water for the bather. The most important maintenance step
is to establish a cleaning routine to fit your use pattern. Heavy
use and introduction of contaminants such as oily body lotions
could mean cleaning on a weekly basis while average use
might require only monthly cleaning.
1. Activate the stand by mode or turn off electrical power. Remove
filter cover and set aside. See page 14 for the stand-by mode.
3. Remove the floating weir and basket.
NOTE:
1. Body oils, algae, and suntan oil can form a coating on the spa filter cartridge pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by the garden hose. To
remove such substances, soak the filter in a solution of filter cleaner. Various brands of such cleaners are readily available at your local dealer.
2. Improper spa filter maintenance will alter the spa sensing device on your spa. This will lead to faulty heater and or pump operation. But generally,
cleaning or replacing the filter cartridge regularly will remedy this situation.
