MAINTENANCE

Automatic Filtration/Maintenance

If you plan to be away, you should maintain minimum water quality by running the filter system. To do this, set the timer to turn the system on for at least two hours each day. This will cause the filter system to turn on at a desired time. Set the timer according to instructions on page 8 with the SYSTEM switch OFF.

If you will be away for an extended period, however, we recommend that you drain the spa (following the procedure described under “Winterizing” on this page), as long periods without maintenance of water quality could be detrimental to the spa.

Another means of maintaining minimum water quality while away for less than two weeks is to follow the procedure outlined for winterizing your spa in a warm climate. We do not recommend using this procedure more than 1 week during the summer, when algae build-up is most likely.

Always keep your spa covered when not in use to reduce heat loss and evaporation and to prevent debris from falling in.

Winterizing

In a climate where winter temperatures are below freezing, follow this procedure when the spa will NOT be used:

1.Select the OFF mode.

2.Turn off power to the unit at the house circuit breaker.

3.Drain the spa completely by attaching a garden hose to the hose bibb on the suction plumbing. Then remove the hose and leave the hose bibb open to completely drain the spa. Close the hose bibb.

4.Remove the filter cartridges, clean them, and store them dry.

5.Keep water and debris out by covering with a rigid spa cover.

6.Before using the spa again, review the Operating In- structions.

NOTE: WE RECOMMEND A WATER BASED MATERIAL. OIL OR SOLVENT BASED FINISHING MA- TERIALS DEGRADE THE SKIRT BACKING MATERIAL.

It may become necessary to remove one or more of the skirt panels for major service access, but all the panels must be securely in place during use of the spa.
