ment by removing the filter cover and the two filter cover screws and then pulling the filter from the spa jet unit.
The spa jet unit features an automatic filter cycle and freeze protection. If the spa jet unit has not been oper- ated for three hours, the pump will begin circulating the water for twenty minutes to filter any impurities. Also, if the water temperature falls below 40¡F, the pump will begin circulating and heating the water to prevent the water from freezing.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, you must use a garden
hose to siphon the water. Place one end of the hose in the spa and hold it in front of a hydrotherapy jet until there is a flow of water coming out of the hose. Turn off the spa unit and unplug the power cord. The unit will be damaged if it is run without water cir- culating. Be sure the end of the hose in the spa is on the floor of the spa.
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA above), the pump in the spa jet unit should also be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.
