Routine Equipment Maintenance
Draining Your Hot Tub
Your spa is gravity-drained, without the need for a pump. To drain the spa, locate the hose bib,
which you attached to the spa in the Initial Setup operation (described earlier), on the base near
the lower left side of the equipment panel. Remove the cap (if any) from the hose bib. Screw a
garden hose onto the hose bib, put the other end of the hose in a safe place for water run-off (do
not drain onto lawn or plants), and then turn the valve on the side of the hose bib ninety degrees to
release the flow of water. Don’t forget to close the valve again before you re-fill the spa.
For information about how often you should drain and refill your spa, refer to the Water Care Guide
that came with the spa.
Filter Cleaning
IMPORTANT: To prevent debris from getting into the system during filter cleaning, shut
off the power to the spa at the GFCI circuit breaker (see Initial Startup section of this
manual for details). (Note: If your spa has the Scrolling Message Center, you can
instead put it in “Standby Mode” by pressing the Dimension One ICON (logo) Button, found on the
right side of the Control Panel, for 5 seconds. After cleaning the filters, exit Standby mode the same
way).
Your spa is equipped with one or two filters. We recommend that you clean the filters every month
as preventative maintenance.
Cleaning the Skimmer Filter
To clean the skimmer filter, remove the access lid that covers
the entire filter area. Lift the center float of the skimmer
assembly until it is fully extended. Hold the centerpiece of the
assembly and turn it counterclockwise until the flats of the
basket are aligned with the securing tabs. Then pull the
basket assembly straight up to remove it.
Below the basket is the filter. Remove the filter by twisting it
1/4 turn counterclockwise to its stop (be careful not to
overturn it.) Then lift the filter out of its canister. Clean the
filter with a high-pressure garden hose. Every other cleaning,
soak the filter in filter-cleaning solution and rinse it thoroughly. Reinstall the filter by reversing the
removal process, then replace the skimmer basket assembly and the access cover. Then turn the
power back on at the GFCI breaker, (or exit “Standby” Mode, if you used it, as described above).
After cleaning the filter, run the pump for a few minutes at high speed before leaving the spa in its
normal mode.
Cleaning the UltraPure™ Filter Cartridge
If your spa is equipped with an UltraPure™ filter (see photo), in
addition to the skimmer filter, remove the access lid, then
remove and clean the filter as described above.
