Shocking the Water
In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock. It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers.
Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if the water has a strong odor.
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.

Clear Water Plan
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and packages.
Never change chemical brands or types without com- pletely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first.
Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Remove and wash clothing that
may have been exposed to chemical contact prior to wearing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious in- jury, sickness, or even death.
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry. Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage may result in serious injury, sickness, fire ex- plosion and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the equipment area of your spa.
Filter Cleaning
The filter is the part of your spa that removes the debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to maximize your spa’s filtering perfor- mance and heating efficiency.
In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove surface debris, your filter should be deep cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede the filtration process. Even if the filter looks clean, scale and particles can clog the fibers and prevent water from flowing through the filter resulting in the most common spa
We recommend you clean your filter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary.
1.Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up and out.
Inground Spas
2.Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter cleaner to the bucket of water.
Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep cleaned. This way, you can rotate the filters and both will last longer.
3.Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside
4.Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.
5.Spray the filter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.
6.Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the filter.
7.Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.
