DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING
BY ENTRAPMENT!
• Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from
suction ttings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid
entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
• Never use the spa unless all suction guards, lter, lter lid, or
skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair
entrapment.
• Never operate or use the spa if the lter, lter lid, or skimmer
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for
service.
• The suction ttings and suction covers in this spa are sized to
match the specic water ow created by the pump(s). If it is
necessary to replace the suction ttings, suction covers or pump(s),
be sure that the ow rates are compatible and are in compliance
with the VGB Safety Act page 2.
• Never replace a suction tting or suction cover with one rated less
than the ow rate marked on the original suction tting. Using
improper suction ttings or suction covers can create a body or hair
suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe
injury.
• Owners must alert all spa users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb,
Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment,

11.1 Cleaning The Filter
Your new spa is equipped with an exclusive MicroClean® 2-stage
lter cartridge located under the lter lid. Fine debris are ltered by the
circulation pump drawing water through the ultra-ne (stage 2) cartridge.
Larger debris are ltered by the main 2-speed pump drawing water
through the (stage 1) polyester mesh (pleated) cartridge during normal
operation and during each ltration/heating cycle. Combined, both lter
halves work together to give you unsurpassed water quality by trapping
suspended particles on their outer surface.
Note: To ensure optimum performance, clean and reuse the stage
1 cartridge once a month and replace the stage 2 cartridge every 3
months, or as needed.
