Every Three Months

•Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water.

•Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect- ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.

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

The spa cover should be cleaned 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 covers.

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 fil- ters with a hose. If the filters are still dirty, soak them 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.

WATER CHEMISTRY

Maintaining the pH level of the water is very important to the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH level and to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa sup- ply store.

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.
