Cleaning the Filter Cartridges

A programmable "Please Check Filter"
reminder appears on the control panel
display after a specified number days to
remind you to clean the skimmer filter and to
check the polishing bag filter. This reminder
must be reset at each filter cleaning interval.
Refer to Section 12.3 (page 56) for additional
information and programming details. Your new spa is equipped with an
advanced 2-stage filtration system. Fine debris are filtered by the
circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and
pleated filter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large
debris are filtered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in
use or during a programmed filter cycle. These pumps draw water from
footwell suction fitting and through a secondary water polishing bag filter
and additional filter. The exclusive footwell "sweeper" suction fitting
enhances filtration in the footwell area by creating a "swirling" water
motion to maximize particle agitation and pickup.
To ensure optimum performance, the ProClear II
skimming filter cartridge (A) must be cleaned every
three months and replaced once a year. The secondary
ProClear Plus polishing filter bag (B) should be emptied
weekly and replaced every 3 months. The ProClear II
filter cartridge (C) must be cleaned every three months
and replaced once a year. To accomplish this, refer to the
following filter cleaning procedure.
note: Do not attempt to wash the polishing filter bag (B)
or it will come apart!
