Routine Maintenance - InnovaSpa Urbania Standard 110 Owner's Manual

Your spa will require periodic maintenance to ensure that you maintain clean and healthy water, a safe spa and a
clean and healthy spa environment. By performing regular maintenance, your spa will provide you with many
trouble free years of therapy and enjoyment.
FILTER
Your spa contains a filter cartridge that was designed to trap and remove particles and debris from the spa water.
This ensures that your water will remain crystal clear and pleasant to bathe in. Occasionally, you will be required
to remove and clean the cartridge to keep it working effectively. Follow the steps below.
Turn the power to your spa off and remove the filter cover.
1
Remove the cartridge by turning it counter clockwise.
2
Pre clean the cartridge by rinsing it with your garden hose. This will remove most of the solid debris.
3
Using a recommended filter cleaning agent, pour the proper dose into a pail. Place the cartridge into the pail
4
and add water until the cartridge is completely submersed. Leave the cartridge sitting in the pail overnight.
This will dissolve oils and greases that have attached themselves to the cartridge.
After 24 hours, remove the cartridge from the pail and rinse it with your garden hose.
5
Reinsert the cartridge into your spa. Replace the filter cover and turn your spa back on. For health reasons,
6
never use your spa without the cartridge inserted.
If you don't want to wait to use your spa, it is recommended that you have two cartridges that can be rotated.
7
Depending on spa usage, your cartridges should last about two years.
MAIN DRAIN (SUCTION FITTING)
Your spa contains a main drain to supply water to your pump. It is equipped with a VGB compliant cover that is
located in the foot well of your spa. This cover traps hair and other large debris to prevent these contaminants
from being sucked into the spa pump. It is recommended that you remove the debris from the cover on a weekly
basis. Failure to do so could result in damage to your pump. Never operate your spa if the main drain
cover is damaged or removed.
WATER REPLACEMENT AND CLEANING YOUR SPA
Depending on usage, your spa water should be replaced every 6-12 months. Follow the steps below.
Turn the power to your spa off and remove the filter cartridge. Clean or replace the cartridge.
1
Remove the access door at the end of the spa where your equipment is located.
2
Remove the drain hose from the equipment compartment and attach your garden hose to the shut off valve.
3
Run the hose to a safe place to dump the water and open the shut off valve. Wait until your spa has drained.
4
To remove the water more quickly, you can use a submersible pump instead of the drain hose.
There will be a small amount of water left in the spa after it has been drained. It is recommended that you
5
remove this water using a shop vacuum.
To clean the inner and outer surfaces of your spa, use a mild detergent, warm water and a soft brush or cloth.
6
Thoroughly rinse the detergent from the spa before you refill it. Never use cleaners that contain harsh
abrasives or rubbing and buffing compounds. They may permanently damage your spa surfaces.
Refill your spa according to the instructions located in the Installation and Start Up section of this manual.
