Spa Cover
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
• Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.
• Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
• You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.
• Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.
See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.
In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place
objects of any kind on top of it.
Filter Cleaning
The lter is the part of your spa that removes the debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a regular
basis to maximize your spa’s ltering performance and heating efciency.
In addition to spraying off the lter weekly to remove surface debris, your lter should be deep cleaned
periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the lter bers and impede the ltration
process. Even if the lter looks clean, scale and particles can clog the bers and prevent water from owing
through the lter resulting in the most common spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty lter.
We recommend you clean your lter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary.
It is extremely important that you never run the spa without a lter. There is a possibility that
debris may be sucked into the plumbing through the lter well.
Set the spa in Hold Mode before you remove the lter. Hold Mode pauses all spa operations for
60 minutes for service functions like cleaning or replacing the lter. See page 21 or page 29 for
instructions on using Hold Mode.
Cleaning the lter
1. Remove the lter by unscrewing it and pulling it up and out.
2. Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of liquid lter cleaner
to the bucket of water.
Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare lter to use in the spa while the dirty lter is being deep cleaned.
This way, you can rotate the lters and both will last longer.
3. Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.
4. Spray the lter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully.
5. Reinstall the lter. Do not overtighten.
