Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of water leakage around the
pump(s). Pump seals wear out over time, especially with improper water chem-
istry. Early detection of pump seal failure can significantly reduce repair costs.
Pump seals, heater gaskets and pump gaskets must be checked each month
to ensure they are not leaking. Further damage caused by a leak from any
component is not covered under the warranty.
EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Draining and Filling the Spa
The average spa needs to be drained every three to four months. After months
of continually adding chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and
lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and chemicals are not as effective
as usual. You may also notice excessive foaming. More frequent draining may
be required depending on use.
Draining the Spa
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
2. Open the equipment compartment (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM). Re-
move the hose bib cap from the connection and attach a hose.
3. Open the drain valve. Gravity causes the water to drain out of the hose.
4. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve and remove the hose.
Reinstall the hose bib plug.
NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times except when draining the NOTE: NOTE:

spa (do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could
result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.
Ozonator Operation
Clean the ozone injector and fitting every six months. A mineral build up may
clog the ozone injector, causing a lack of flow or low flow of ozone. To prevent
this, perform the following:
1. Disconnect power to the spa.
2. Open the equipment compartment.
3. Locate the ozonator in the equipment compartment (see spa equipment
diagrams) and unplug the ozonator from the control box.
4. Place 16 oz. of white vinegar (white vinegar will not damage the spa compo-
nents) into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the container on the
equipment compartment floor.
5. Carefully loosen the long clear tube to the bottom of the ozonator. A liquid
substance may be found inside the tubing. If it is present, be certain not to
come into contact with the liquid.
6. WARNING: Nitric acid accumulates in the air lines of the ozonator and
injector. Nitric acid will cause severe chemical burns if direct skin contact is
made, so always wear protective gloves, glasses and clothing when
working on the ozonator or injector lines. To prevent inhalation or ingestion
of the nitric acid, DO NOT blow or inhale with your mouth to any of the
adapters, fittings or tubing of the ozonator or injector air lines.
