14.1 Cleaning the Filter Cartridges
A programmable “Please Check Filter”
reminder appears on the control panel
display after a specied number days to
remind you to clean the skimmer lter and to
check the polishing bag lter. This reminder
must be reset at each lter cleaning interval.
Refer to Section 12.3 (page 56) for additional
information and programming details. Your new spa is equipped with an
advanced 2-stage ltration system. Fine debris are ltered by the
circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and
pleated lter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large
debris are ltered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in
use or during a programmed lter cycle. These pumps draw water from
footwell suction tting and through a secondary water polishing bag lter
and additional lter. The exclusive footwell “sweeper” suction tting
enhances ltration in the footwell area by creating a “swirling” water
motion to maximize particle agitation and pickup.
To ensure optimum performance, the ProClear™ II
skimming lter cartridge (A) must be cleaned every
three months and replaced once a year. The secondary
ProClear™ Plus polishing lter bag (B) should be emptied
weekly and replaced every 3 months. The ProClear™ II
lter cartridge (C) must be cleaned every three months
and replaced once a year. To accomplish this, refer to the
following lter cleaning procedure.
note: Do not attempt to wash the polishing lter bag (B)
or it will come apart!
