Filter Cartridges Removal And Installation; Care Of The Spa Pillows; Care Of The Exterior - HotSpring LANDMARK Owner's Manual

FILTER CARTRIDGES REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by the appropriate method:
115 Volt Models - Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle. Set the power cord in an elevated position so as
not to allow water to enter the GFCI plug housing during draining of the spa.
230 Volt Models - Trip both of the GFCI breakers located in the subpanel.
2. Remove and carefully set aside the filter compartment cover.
3. Remove any floating items from within the filter compartment.
4. Turn the filter retainer handle (located on the top of the filter cartridge) counterclockwise until the retainer can be removed
from the filter standpipe.
5. Remove the filter retainer and cartridge.
SERVICE NOTE: Never remove the filter standpipes when debris is present in the filter compartment. Debris may find its
way into the internal plumbing which may result in blockage. NEVER REMOVE SUCTION FITTINGS.
6. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it was removed. Do not overtighten!
FILTER CARTRIDGE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Always clean the filters using a filter degreaser to remove mineral and oil buildup. Simply soak the filter in the degreaser
(according to the degreaser directions), then place the filter on a clean surface and spray until clean using a garden hose. It may
be necessary to rotate the filter while spraying to remove any debris lodged between the filter pleats.
WARNING: Do not use the spa with the filter cartridges or filter standpipe removed!

CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS

The spa pillows used on the Grandee
treated with care. They have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and
other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows should be removed
and cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to
remove any soap residue. The pillows can be conditioned with Watkins Cover Shield after cleaning. If the spa is not going to be
used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-
chlorinated, the spa pillows should be removed until the next use of the spa.
To remove and replace the spa pillows:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until both pillow retainers are released from the pillow.
IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is
not covered under warranty.
3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the
back of the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After the second pillow retainer is in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell.
