The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your spa.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

•Check the water level and refill the spa to the level shown in step 5 on page 9.

•Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).

Weekly

•Clean the spa shell at the waterline.

•Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK- ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).

•Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).

Monthly

•Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER on this page).

•Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos- phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.

•Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).

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.

•Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or waxes. (See CLEANING THE SPA SHELL below.)

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

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

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents. 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.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several factors, such as user load, temperature, water conditions, etc. Proper water maintenance is a com- plex process. We recommend that you contact your local pool and spa supplier for information about how to accomplish this.
