Maintenance

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your spa.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

•Check the water level and refill the spa to the level shown in step 3 on page 10.

•Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Make adjustments if necessary (see WATER CHEM- ISTRY on page 17).

Weekly

•Clean the spa shell at the waterline.

•Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK- ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).

•Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual).

Monthly

•Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER on this page).

•Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos- phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.

Every Three Months

•Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water.

•Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect- ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.

•Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or waxes.

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The surround is maintenance free. The surround should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents or waxes.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents or waxes. The spa should always be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage.
