BASIC INFORMATION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new spa. Our goal is to provide you
with a warm and relaxing spa which incorporates a soothing water massage.
In order to maximize the pleasure of your spa, you will need to understand how
it works.
The following operating and maintenance instructions are very important and
must be followed carefully. With proper care and maintenance your spa will
provide you with years of satisfaction with minimum effort.
• The pump and heater should be operated a minimum of two hours per
day for cleaning and heating.
• The length of time required to heat your spa to the desired water
temperature will vary, depending on the air temperature, season, and
wind velocity. We highly recommend using a vinyl hard cover to minimize
heat loss and to protect your spa when not in use. Covers are available
from your local Dynasty Spa dealer.
• The replaceable filter cartridge is trouble free and easy to clean. A routine
cleaning is the best practice. Make sure the pump is off, then remove the
cartridge. Wash it off using a water hose with a pressure nozzle and then
reassemble. This should be done on a monthly basis.
• Keep the spa water level 2" above the skimmer. Never allow the water
level to drop below the bottom of the skimmer opening. If the water level
is too low, the skimmer will allow air into the water lines of the pump,
causing it to lose its prime (waterflow). Running the pump without water
flow will damage the pump seal assembly and could possibly result in
further equipment damage, which will not be covered under warranty.
• If your spa has a natural wood skirt or if you purchased a gazebo, we
recommend applying a wood sealer of your choice (always follow
application instructions) to protect the finish. Repeat as directions
suggest.
• You should clean your spa at least every 3-4 months. (This may vary by
usage.) Drain the spa water and use a liquid cleanser such as 409 or
Fantastic. DO NOT use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners. Fill with
regular tap water and chemically treat the water for a clean and healthy
spa.
CAUTION!
Do not use soft water. It may harm your acrylic.
WARNING!
CAUTION: Cover must be kept on spa at all times when spa is drained
or winterized. Direct exposure to sunlight can damage plastic parts
and interior surface, jets, or any interior components. Damage
caused by exposure to the sun will not be covered under warranty.
