MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

1. Filter Care
We cannot stress enough the importance of a
clean filter for proper water filtration. Dirty filters
can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and
prevent your chemicals from working properly.
Many water treatment products clear or clarify the
water by clumping microscopic particles and
minerals together so that these larger particles
can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter
clogged with debris and calcium deposits does
not trap particles properly.
The Maintenance Reminder on the spa-side
Control Panel indicates a CL every 30 days to
remind you to clean your filter.
Removing the Filter
Grasp the edge of the dome-shaped Vortex filter
top, pull up firmly, but gently, to remove it.
Turn the filter cartridge counterclockwise to un-
screw it from its base. Lift out the filter cartridge.
Use a hose to clean the filter cartridge or use the
Marquis Maintenance Kit bucket and Filter Revive
to soak the filters (you will need to flip the filter after
the designated time to completely clean the entire
length). Or a Filter Soak Canister is available from
your dealer to assist in the filter cleaning process.
NOTE: Keep an extra set of filters on hand so you
always have a clean set ready for immediate spa
enjoyment. Remember to replace the filter
cartridge(s) at least once a year.
Reinstalling the Filter
Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not over-
tighten the filter as it may cause the threads on
the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in
place. When replacing the Vortex filter top, center
the top over the raised filter ring and press down
firmly until the top snaps into place. (See INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridges.)
