Draining Your Aquatic Fitness System

Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this system unless they are supervised at all times.

All models are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has dissipated from the water. The sanitizer in your water will dissipate quickly by leaving the cover off and exposing the water to direct sunlight. Drain and replace your water every six months. For heavy use, you may wish to change the water more frequently.

You may purchase an optional submersible pump from your dealer or from our Virtual Showroom at www.d1spas.com to provide quicker drainage.

Filter Cleaning

SPA (AquaFit Dual Temp Only)

Always turn off the power to the system before cleaning the filter elements. Your system is equipped with one top access filter cartridge. We recommend that you clean the filters every month as preventative maintenance.

To clean the skimmer filter cartridge, remove the access lid covering the filter area. Lift the center float of the skimmer assembly until it is fully extended. Hold the centerpiece of the assembly and turn it counter clockwise until the flats of the basket are aligned with the securing tabs. Then pull the basket assembly straight up to remove. Next, remove the E-Z Lock Filter cartridge by twisting the cartridge ¼ turn counterclockwise to its stop. (Be careful not to overturn the filter.) Then lift the filter out of its canister. Clean the cartridge with a high-pressure garden hose. Every other cleaning, soak the cartridges in a filter-cleaning solution, rinse it thoroughly, and reinstall. Replace the skimmer basket assembly and the access lid or cover. After cleaning, run the pump for a few minutes at high speed, then return to the heating mode.
