MONTHLY
Soak your filter cartridge in a filter cartridge cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly and, if possible, allow to dry
before re-installing. Hydropool recommends purchasing a second filter so that while the first is cleaning, the other
is clean and ready to install.
QUARTERLY
Drain hot tub at least once per quarter and clean the acrylic shell surface with a non-abrasive cleaner designed
specifically for acrylic surfaces. See sections CHANGING THE HOT TUB WATER and DRAINING YOUR HOT
TUB
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET
1. Activate the HOLD/STANDBY mode
2. Remove the skimmer basket by rotating the top flange and lift up.
3. Remove debris from skimmer basket. (Note: Avoid hitting the basket against objects to knock debris
loose as this may damage the unit)
4. Reinsert basket
5. Take the system out of HOLD/STANDBY mode, and as the pump begins to operate, monitor water flow
over the skimmer basket to assure that it is free floating
