MAINTENANCE

Automatic Filtration/Maintenance

If you plan to be away, minimum water quality will be maintained by running the filter system.

If you will be away for an extended period, however, we recommend that you drain the spa (following the procedure described under Winterizing on this page), as long periods without maintenance of water quality could be detrimental to the spa.

Another means of maintaining minimum water quality while away for less than two weeks is to follow the procedure outlined for winterizing your spa in a warm climate. (Refer to Winterizing.)

NOTE: We do not recommend using this procedure if you are absent during the summer, when algae buildup is most likely.

Always keep your spa covered when not in use to reduce heat loss and evaporation and to prevent debris from falling in.

Winterizing

In a climate where winter temperatures are below freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will NOT be used:

1.Turn OFF power to the unit at the main electric panel.

2.Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose to the drain valve on the suction plumbing. Then remove the hose and leave the drain valve open to completely drain the spa.

3.Remove, clean and store the filter cartridges, in a dry location.

4.Keep water and debris out by covering with a spa cover.

Before using the spa again, review the Operating Instructions.

NOTE: In a warm climate where there are occasional freezing temperatures, your spa is automatically protected against freezing. Whenever water tem- perature falls below 40°F, the pump will activate to circulate water until the temperature reaches 45°F.

To maintain water quality adjust temperature setpoint to the minimum setting (80°F), and select ECONOMY

mode.

Factory Installed Redwood Skirt

Your spa is supplied with a factory-installed red- wood skirt which completely surrounds the spa. The door can be opened for maintenance.

The skirt is made of kiln-dried redwood and can be left natural to weather, or you may choose to apply a stain or clear finish. Consult your local paint dealer for the appropriate product.

NOTE: We recommend a water based material. Oil or solvent based finishing materials will degrade the skirt backing material.

If it becomes necessary to remove one or more of the skirt panels for major service access, simply remove the screws with which the section is secured.

To detach any of the panels, first remove all screws from the panel being detached.

The panels can be reattached to the spa by revers- ing the above procedure.

NOTE: When you remove the skirt, you will notice the plastic covered foam insulated batts. These batts are designed to be removed when service is required and reinstalled when service has been completed.
