IMPORTANT: Remove the pillows when shocking the spa or when sanitizer
levels are high. Leave cover open for at least 30 minutes after shocking to
ensure pillows are not aected.
NOTE: Pillow discoloration is caused by accelerated by high sanitizer use and
is not covered under the Bullfrog Spa Warranties.
Vacuum the Spa
Debris from wind, trees, and users will occasionally accumulate on the bottom
of the spa. e ltration system will remove the smaller debris; however, debris
that is too large or heavy will have to be removed by a spa vacuum. If you do
not have a spa vacuum, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer.
Freeze Prevention
In regions where low temperatures fall below 5 F (-15 C), it is recommended
that a 2 inch (5 cm) insulation board or blanket be secured to the backside
of the spa equipment compartment door. is is available at most home
improvement stores
IMPORTANT: When daytime outside temperatures reach 60 F (15 C), the
equipment compartment insulation must be removed to prevent overheating
of the equipment.
Low-Use or No-Use Periods
During certain times of the year, you may not use the spa on a frequent basis.
For these low-use or no-use periods, consider the following:
No Use for Two to Six Weeks
If the spa will not be used for at least two weeks, lower the temperature to the
lowest setting of 80°F (10°C) or place in low range heat mode. Lowering the
temperature will cut the cost of operation, however; you will need to adjust the
temperature setting approximately 4 hours before use in order to heat the spa
to 100 F (38°C).
IMPORTANT: During all low and no use periods, be sure to maintain the spa
water as per the instructions in the Water Chemistry section.
IMPORTANT: For all no-use periods, and on a weekly basis, be sure to have
someone visually check that the spa is functioning correctly and to also
maintain the spa water as per the instructions under the Water Chemistry
section. Not doing so may lead to corrosion, staining, and/or scaling to the
spa and its equipment. During periods of freezing temperatures, a spa that has
malfunctioned may be subject to damaged plumbing or equipment as a result
of ice buildup within the spa. If the spa cannot be checked and maintained on
a weekly basis, then consider winterizing the spa.
No use for over six weeks
When you are not planning to use the spa for six or more weeks, or when
someone is not able to maintain the spa on a weekly basis, you should
winterize the spa. To winterize, follow these steps:
Winterization
WARNING: Prior to winterizing your spa, it will be necessary to Super
Sanitize the spa water as per the instructions in the Water Chemistry section.
is procedure will help prevent the growth of bacteria, algae and fungi in any
areas of plumbing that may not be fully free of water after you drain your spa
for its period of winterization.
Step 1: Drain the water.
