NOTE: Replacement filter cartridges are available from your ENDLESS
POOLS dealer. Refer to the back of this manual to determine the
appropriate size for your exercise system.
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
EXERCISE SYSTEM
Your exercise 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 exercise
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 2.5 cm 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 exercise system) making
sure not to push the drain tube
inward. Route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining
area.
NOTE: Exercise 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
exercise system (Figure 4) which will start the gravitational flow.
Drain tube must be in the mid position for the exercise 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
exercise system is being winterized.
4. After your exercise system is empty, clean the shell and filter
cartridges.
5. Pull and remove garden hose, replace drain cap and push drain
tube back into exercise system as seen in Figure 1.
6. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your exercise
system.
PREVENTION OF FREEZING
Your exercise 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 exercise system remains
at the selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the exercise
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 exercise 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 EXERCISE
SYSTEM
An SWIMCROSS exercise system may be used year round, even in
colder climates. If you will not be using the exercise 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 exercise 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 exercise system water
chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the exercise system shell is
being cleaned, the exercise system pillows should be removed and
cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution.
ALWAYS rinse off the exercise system pillows thoroughly to remove
any soap residue. If the exercise system is not going to be used for a
long period of time (that is during a vacation or if the exercise system
is winterized), or when the exercise system water is being super-
chlorinated, the exercise system pillows should be removed until the
next use of the exercise system.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE
PILLOWS:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the exercise 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 exercise 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 exercise system shell.
