DRAINING YOUR SPA

All Dimension One spas are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto

your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has dissipated

from the spa water. The sanitizer in your spa water can be dissipated

very quickly by leaving the spa cover off and exposing the water to direct

sunlight. Drain and replace your spa water every three to four months.

For heavy spa use, you may wish to change the water more frequently.

To drain your spa:

1) Turn off all power to the spa.

2) Attach a hose to the hose bib at the bottom of the spa on the pedestal

to the left of the equipment compartment (or you can place a hose

directly in the spa and gravity drain by the siphon method). Open the

valve and allow the water to drain away from the spa.

3) Clean the spa surface (see CARE FOR THE SPA SURFACE on page

46).

4) Refill the spa and restore power. Follow the Initial Start-up proce-

dures for your model to reheat the spa.

FILTER CLEANING

Always turn the spa off before cleaning the filter elements. Your spa is

equipped with one or two top access filter cartridges. 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 center piece 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 it. Next, pull the fil-

ter element out by twisting the molded handle until the filter is loosened.

Clean the element with a high pressure garden hose. Every other clean-

ing, soak the element in a filter cleaning solution, then rinse it thorough-

ly, 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.
