General Maintenance Information
Filtration: We recommended running the filters 6 hours daily, 3 hours each morning/evening.
Keep the water level 3-4” (7.5 - 10 cm) above the filter lid. Low water level will cause the filter
weir to draw air in and possibly cause the failure to pump and system components.
Cleaning: To clean the surface of the spa (acrylic and jets), use a damp cloth/sponge with
water or mild household soap or liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products as this can
remove the shiny luster of the acrylic. Remove light scratches with paste wax or automobile
rubbing compound and buff the area. Contact your dealer with questions on serious damage.
Clean the filter every 2 weeks or as needed. Make sure your swim spa is powered down
and remove the filter cartridge. Wash using a water hose with a pressure nozzle and reassemble.
Be aware that any cleaners or chemicals could cause the water to bubble or foam. If your spa
begins to foam or bubble it could also be caused by any lotions, dyes, or detergents in the water.
Showering or hosing down before entering can solve this problem.
The cover’s life can be prolonged if conditioned regularly. Otherwise the sun can dry the
material and cause it to crack. If the cover needs to be cleaned, use only anti-petroleum products,
and simply wash the underside with water and let dry.
Water Chemistry: Every 5-7
days the chemical level should be
tested to ensure the pH, Alkalinity,
Calcium Hardness and Bromine/
Chlorine levels are correct. It is
important to know the volume of
water in your spa to calculate and
adjust the chemicals needed. See
quick reference guide to the right.
Replacements: The filter should be replaced at least once a year.
Covers will last a long time, especially if conditioned and cleaned (only with anti-petroleum
products). Simply maintain and replace as needed.
Water should be replaced at least 1-2 times a year depending on use. Simply empty the spa via a
sub-pump and refill with fresh tap water. Your spa can be used all year round and does not need
to be closed for any reason. If you do want to drain your spa in winter, see your Dealer for
Winterizing Recommendations in your area.
CAUTION:
Cover must be kept on spa at all times when spa is drained or winterized. Prolonged exposure to
sunlight can cause damage to plastic parts, acrylic surface, jets or any interior components.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight will not be covered under the manufactures warranty.
