Your Vita Spa is manufactured with the highest quality and most durable m a terials available. A spa care and maintenance program is recommended to increase your comfort, maintain the spa’s reliability, and protect your investment.

FILTER MAINTENANCE

Vita Spas are designed with the most efficient top loading filtration system in the industry. Filter maintenance is the most critical factor in keeping your spa water clean.

TO CLEAN THE FILTER:

(NOTE: Never run the spa without a filter installed)

Remove the cartridge and spray it with a garden hose. It will be necessary to rotate the cartridge while spraying so as to thoroughly remove the debris lodged between the filter pleats.

After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film. Rapid mineral build-up from hard water, or oil build-up from the use of oil- based water scent or body oil may coat the filter cartridge. A filter cleaner to soak the cartridge is available from your Vita Spa dealer and should be used as part of your spa maintenance. Use a rag to remove any debris at the bottom of the filter housing and inside the filter screen. Replace the cartridge in the filter housing. We recommend the use of a spare filter. This way one can be soaking and cleaning while you continue to enjoy the use of your spa.

DRAINING YOUR SPA

Detergent residues from bathing suits as well as soap film from your body may

gradually accumulate in the water. Foam inhibitors will suppress the foam but will not remove the soap from the water. Eventually, the soap build-up in the water will concentrate enough to leave an unclean feeling on the user’s skin, causing sudsing and make the water impossible to clarify. Depending on the amount of soap input, the spa water should last between two and three months.

TO DRAIN YOUR SPA

Turn the power off at the GFCI breaker. Attach a garden hose to the bib located in the base directly below the spa control. Pull out the cover cap from the base and unscrew it from the bib. Route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area. The spa will empty by gravity. Siphon or scoop out the balance of the water.

IMPORTANT : Spa water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grass. If you are draining your spa for the winter, be sure to fully drain water from the pipe by disconnecting the two unions at the gate valves found by each of the two speed pumps and the two unions found by the circulation pump. Drain the water pumps by removing the pump plug. Then reinstall the pump plugs. Remove the filter and clean as required. Inspect the spa shell and clean as required.

Refill the spa BEFORE restoring power to it.
