REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Note: These are areas that will require the spa owner to perform routine maintenance. These are not
areas covered under the warranty of the spa.
cLeaNINg JeTS
The majority of jets in your spa can individually be turned on/off. If any of these jets become hard to
turn, it will be necessary to remove the jet to clean it as grit/sand and mineral deposit may be present.
The jets in your spa can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing them (counter clockwise) and then
pulling out the jet.
To clean Jets
Place the jet(s) in a bucket, fully immerse in white vinegar. Let the jet(s) soak overnight and then rinse
with water. Reinstall the jet(s). It may be necessary to clean grit and deposits from the white jet body
(mounted in the spa shell) by using a small bristled brush.
cLeaNINg dIveRTeR vaLveS
Some Down East Spas have diverter valves. Due to mineral deposits and grit/sand that may get into the
internal parts of the diverter valve, it may become hard to turn or freeze up completely. In this case, it is
necessary to remove the handle and cap of the diverter valve. Before proceeding, make sure the power
to the spa is turned off.
Turn the cap piece counter clockwise. It may be necessary to put a clean rag over the cap and turn it
with a wrench.
Once loose, the cap and handle can be pulled up out of the white plumbing fitting.
Wipe down the internal piece that attaches to the cap and handle.
Soak the cap and handle in white vinegar.
The white plumbing fitting should also be wiped down. If the surface of the white plumbing has
become too abrasive, you can take wet, fine sandpaper and smooth it out. It is also helpful to use a
lubricant (use silicone based, not petroleum based) to allow for an easier turn of the diverter handle.
Rinse the diverter internals and reassemble.
In the future, it is helpful to turn the diverter valve only when the pump is not on. Cleaning your
diverter valve should occur every time you drain your spa.
