Vita Spa LD-15 Series manual Filter Maintenance, To clean the filter NEVER RUN SPA WITHOUT FILTER

3) FILTER MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is the most critical factor in keeping your spa water clean.

To clean the filter:

NEVER RUN SPA WITHOUT FILTER

A.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.

B.After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film. Rapid mineral build-up from hard water, or oil builds up from the use of oil-based water scent or body oils that may coat the filter.

C.Use a rag to remove any debris at the bottom of the filter housing. Replace the cartridge.

D.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.

4) COVER MAINTENANCE

Your cover is manufactured from a durable marine grade, U.V. resistant material. Even so, monthly cleaning and periodic conditioning is recommended to maintain its beauty.

To clean and condition the vinyl cover:

A.Lightly spray the cover with a garden hose to rinse it and remove the debris.

B.Using a large sponge or soft cloth and a mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dish washing liquid with 2 gallons of water), scrub lightly in circular motion. Then rinse it thorough- ly with plenty of water.

C.Condition the vinyl after cleaning by applying a thin film of vinyl conditioner such as Armor-All. NOTE: To remove tree saps, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter, but the kind used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly and rinse with mild soap solution after- wards. Wipe dry.

5) EXCEL-PLUS CABINET MAINTENANCE

The exterior of your Vita Spa cabinet is made from a newly formulated high strength material that is factory stained and sealed. Depending on the location and exposure of the spa to nature’s elements, it is recommended that you clean the cabinet once or twice a year with warm water and a mild soap.
