MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recommended

CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENTS (also reference page 52)
The filter elements are one of the most important components of your spa. Not only are they
essential for clean water, but they also extend the life of the spa equipment. Your filter elements
should be cleaned on a regular basis, once a month on average with normal usage. With heavy
use the filters may need to be cleaned more often.
