MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The premium cedar surround has been treated at the factory. For information and supplies to maintain the beauty and color of your premium cedar surround, contact your local pool and spa supply store.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents or waxes. The spa should always be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

Clean the spa cover monthly. To clean the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove

any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage.

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filters should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. If the filters need to be cleaned, follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Unscrew the filter cov- ers.

4. Lift the the filters out of the filter housings.

5. Check the filters for dirt and debris. If the filters need to be cleaned, rinse the filters with a hose. If the filters are still dirty, soak it in cleaning solution from a pool and spa supply store.

6.Inspect the filters for damage. Replace the filters if the are damaged.

7.Insert the cleaned or new filters into the filter hous- ings.

8.Re-attach the filter covers.

CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide- lines when handling the chemicals:

1.Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.

2.Never mix different chemicals.

3.Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals—follow the directions on the label closely.

4.Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.

5.Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.

6.Never add water to the chemicals—always add the chemicals to the water as directed.

7.Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.
