SPA SIDE FILTER CARTRIDGE
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Place the spa side contol panel in the "Standby" mode, then
proceed as follows:
1. Pull skimmer basket straight up and out.
2. Unscrew single fiter (counter clockwise).
3. Clean filter using instructions in step 7 above.
4. Replace single filter (clockwise).
5. Lower skimmer basket back into filter area.
DRAINING YOUR
FITNESS SYSTEM
Your fitness system uses two drains, one for the swim side and one for
the spa side. Both drains are located on the same side as the control
panels towards the bottom.
1. Turn off all GFCI breakers in
sub-panel, or main electrical
panel.
2. Locate the drain valves (bottom,
lower right of control panels) for
the fitness system.
Pull on handle (Figure 1,
pliers may be used to pull
handle) until you reach the
mid position then rotate
handle slightly to fully
extended drain tube (drain
cap and 1” of the drain tube
is exposed) (Figure 2) then
remove the drain cap
(Figure 3).
NOTE: Do not remove drain
cap in mid position. Attach the
garden hose to the end of the
drain (to avoid flooding of the
foundation surrounding the
fitness system) making sure not
to push the drain tube inward.
Route the outlet of the hose to
an appropriate draining area.
NOTE: Fitness system water
with a high sanitizer level may
harm plants and grass.
3. Push the garden hose and drain
tube half-way back towards the
fitness system (Figure 4) which will start the gravitational flow. Drain
tube must be in the mid position for the fitness system to drain.
IMPORTANT: All models will drain almost completely through the
drain valve. Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system
may not completely drain. Any water remaining within the plumbing
or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the
fitness system is being winterized.
4. After your fitness system is empty, clean the shell and filter
cartridges.
5. Pull and remove garden hose, replace drain cap and push drain
tube back into fitness system as seen in Figure 1.
6. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your fitness system.
PREVENTION OF FREEZING
Your fitness system has been designed and engineered for year-round
use in any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures (below
-12°C or 10°F) combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of
the jet pump, even though the water inside the fitness system remains
at the selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the fitness system
may also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle
more frequently. As an additional precaution against partial freezing of
some of the components, the equipment compartment can be insulated
with an insulating kit available from your local dealer. This insulating kit
will also help to maximize the fitness system’s energy efficiency.
NOTE: When warmer weather returns (approx. 15°C - 21°C or 60°-
70°F), the insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the
jet pump.
WINTERIZING YOUR FITNESS
SYSTEM
An ENDLESS POOLS fitness system may be used year round, even
in colder climates. If you will not be using the fitness system during the
winter in an area where freezing is a problem, special consideration
must be taken to protect the pool and auxiliary equipment if either is
located outside. If you have any questions regarding precautions to take
against freezing, please call your ENDLESS POOLS Dealer.
CARE OF THE PILLOWS
The fitness system pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with
care. They have been positioned above the water level to minimize
the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and other fitness system
water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the fitness system shell
is being cleaned, the fitness system pillows should be removed and
cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution.
ALWAYS rinse off the fitness system pillows thoroughly to remove
any soap residue. If the fitness system is not going to be used for a
long period of time (that is during a vacation or if the fitness system is
winterized), or when the fitness system water is being super-chlorinated,
the fitness system pillows should be removed until the next use of the
fitness system.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE
PILLOWS:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the fitness system shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the
pillow.
IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell
recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered
under warranty.
3. To reinstall the fitness system pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly
to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back
of the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the
recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into
the recess in the fitness system shell.
