Filter Cleaning and Cartridge Replacement
The filter(s) in your spa should be cleaned at least every month, depending on spa usage. This will
ensure that the water is being filtered properly, and there is no restriction in the filter due to dirt and
grease build-up. Turn off the spa, remove filter lid and set aside. Remove the filter skimmer basket
by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the filter element and replace or clean. Reinstall skimmer
basket turning it clockwise and turn the spa back on.
Cleaning the filter can be done easily using a Filter Degreaser solution and following the directions
on the bottle. Soak filter in a degreaser and power wash with a garden hose. It is recommended to
have a second filter, which can be cleaned between filter changes. This will enable you to quickly
exchange the dirty filter with a clean filter and immediately re-start your spa.
Care Of The Exterior
Spa Shell
Your spa shell is made of acrylic. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to the surface. A soft rag
or a nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to your
spa’s shell. See your dealer for the best product to use. The only products which have passed the
manufacturer’s test are Soft Towel and Windex. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be used
for minor surface cleaning. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh
water.
NOTES: Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your
Hydro Spa dealer about a stain and scale inhibitor to use if your spa water has a high concentration
of dissolved minerals.
The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface
is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since
they may damage the shell surface. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by
the use of harsh chemicals in not covered under the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Some surface cleaners contain eye and skin irritants. Keep all cleaners out of the
reach of children and use care when applying.
Maintenance Free Cabinet
Spas consist of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic with the beauty of a redwood or
gray cabinet. The spa cabinet will not crack, peel, blister or delaminate. Cleaning consists of simply
spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and residue.
