CLEANING THE INFLATABLE SPA LINER
The liner should be cleaned with a mild soap solution.
Do not use solvents. The liner should always be clean
and dry before being moved or stored.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow
the steps below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove the two screws and cover from the
spa jet. Then pull the filter out of the unit.
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the fil-
ter needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a
hose. If the filter still is dirty, you will need to
soak it in a cleaning solution which can be
obtained from a pool and spa supply store.
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the fil-
ter if there are any signs of damage.
5. Re-insert the cleaned filter and re-attach the
two screws and cover to the spa jet unit.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. Remove
the support ball from the spa cover, then hang the spa
cover over a clothes line and spray it with a hose.
Leave the cover on the clothes line until it is fully dry.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in
a warm, dry location. (See DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA and DRAINING THE PUMP
on this page.)
WATER CHEMISTRY
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 11.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-
MAINTENANCE
ment by removing the filter cover and the two filter
cover screws and then pulling the filter from the spa jet
unit.
The spa jet unit features an automatic filter cycle and
freeze protection. If the spa jet unit has not been oper-
ated for three hours, the pump will begin circulating
the water for twenty minutes to filter any impurities.
Also, if the water temperature falls below 40¡F, the
pump will begin circulating and heating the water to
prevent the water from freezing.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, you must use a garden
hose to siphon the water. Place one end of the hose in
the spa and hold it in front of a hydrotherapy jet until
there is a flow of water coming out of the hose. Turn
off the spa unit and unplug the power cord. The
unit will be damaged if it is run without water cir-
culating. Be sure the end of the hose in the spa is on
the floor of the spa.
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING
THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA above), the pump in the
spa jet unit should also be drained if the spa will be
stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be
exposed to freezing temperatures.
To drain the pump,
remove the spa jet unit
from the side panels.
Be careful not to tear
the inflatable spa
liner. Locate the pump
inside the spa jet unit.
Remove the drain plug
from the pump. Tip the
spa jet unit slightly,
until all the water has drained from the pump. Replace
the drain plug.
