Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa.
Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or
without water circulating for long periods of time.
1. Inspect the spa equipment.
2. Remove the cartridge from lter canister.
After you remove the lter, remove the plastic
wrapper and soak it in water for 30 minutes
before you replace it. A dry lter can allow air
into the ltration system which can cause the
pump to fail to prime.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Grip the lter by the handle and unscrew it from
the canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Remove the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip
the lter by the handle and unscrew it from the
canister.
If you have a skimmer like this:
Rotate and remove the black locking ring. Remove
the black skimmer cap and barrel, grip the lter
by the handle and unscrew it from the canister.
Replace and lock the locking ring and slide the
skimmer cap and barrel back in the canister.
Note: The skimmer cap and barrel were locked
in place at the factory to prevent damage during
shipment. It must be unlocked and replaced in
the lter canister so that it can oat when the spa
is lled. If you do not remove the cap and barrel,
your spa’s ltration system will not perform as it was
designed to.
