MAINTENANCE
Inner Liner Material
Your Softub will last many years when properly used and maintained. The primary cause of failure is the improper care of
water. A regular program of water treatment is essential. Consult the water treatment section of the manual for complete
and detailed instructions. It is very important to smooth out any wrinkles that may be caused by excessive movement in the
tub. If wrinkles are not removed immediately, they may become permanent. These types of wrinkles are not covered under
warranty.
Recommended Water Balance
Consult the water treatment section.
Changing Water
Empty the Softub and fill with clean water every 2-3 months or when it becomes cloudy and proper water chemistry does not
clear it up.
1. Before draining tub, pour 250 ml of Swirl Away into water and circulate for 1 to 2 hours with the air control off. Also
make sure that the thermostat is set to maximum temperature, this will allow the pump to run continuously.
2. Drain tub and clean thoroughly. Pour 50 ml of Swirl Away into a 2 gallon pail of warm water. Wash Softub
thoroughly inside and out. Clean the safety suction cover with a toothbrush to remove all obstructions. Rinse tub with
clean water and towel dry.
NOTE: Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool, stiff bristle brushes or abrasive cleaners such as
Comet or Ajax.
Filter Cleaning, Installation and Removal
Clean your filter at least once a month depending on usage. The use of a cartridge filter cleaner is recommended.
Having a second, clean, dry filter will allow continuous use of your tub.
Turn slightly and pull the cartridge filter by hand, remove the outer filter sock and rinse with clean water. Spray water
between the pleats of the cartridge filter to remove solid debris. Replace the sock and snap the cartridge filter back
into the tub. The filter attachment ring must be heated with warm water to install or replace. You should replace the
filter at least once a year.
Do not use the Softub or activate the HydroMate when the filter is removed.
Sun Exposure
If the Softub is located outside, it is necessary to use a Softub exterior Tub Cover (available from your dealer). This will
protect the Softub from direct ultraviolet (UV) exposure, keep rain water out of the tub and keep the surface clean. Using an
exterior Tub Cover reduces the chances of vinyl fading and prolongs the life of your Softub. Never cover your Softub with a
transparent plastic covering. This may overheat the foam structure and cause severe damage. Use only approved Softub
accessories. The use of an exterior Tub Cover is mandatory to protect the warranty.
Repair
If your exterior vinyl or your inner liner gets a tear, scratch marks or puncture, your dealer can provide you with the LeatherTex
repair kit or the liner repair kit.
