SAFETY HINTS
DAILY
1 Test water, and if necessary, add shock.
2 Ensure proper water level is maintained.
WEEKLY
1 Test pH and Alkalinity. Adjust accordingly
2 Top-up chemical dispenser
3 Add sequesterant (stain and scale controller)
4 Remove and spray cartridge filter with garden hose and re-
install (see section CARTRIDGE FILTER)
5 Remove and clean out skimmer basket (see section
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET)
6 Add Shock / oxidizing agent
7 Inspect union connections for o-ring and gasket leaks -
Tighten if loose.
MONTHLY
Soak your filter cartridge in a filter cartridge cleaning solu-
tion. Rinse thoroughly and, if possible, allow to dry before
re-installing. Swimlife 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 specifi-
cally for acrylic surfaces. See sections CHANGING THE
HOT TUB WATER and DRAINING YOUR SWIM SPA
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET
1 Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode
2 Remove the skimmer basket by pulling the weir door for-
ward, and pulling the basket up and towards the front
3 Remove debris from basket. (Note: Avoid hitting the bas-
ket against objects to knock debris loose as this may
damage the unit)
4 Reinsert basket
5 Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST
mode, and as the pump begins to operate, monitor water
flow over the weir door to assure that it is free floating
SAFETY HARD COVER
When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost from
the water surface. This evaporation also affects the chemical
balance and could create humidity problems indoors. SWIM-
LIFE Safety Hard Covers are engineered for maximum ther-
mal efficiency and appearance. They are hinged in the middle
for easier handling, and the zip fastener allows the tapered
foam inserts to be changed if damaged. The skirt of the safe-
ty hard cover hugs the lip of the hot tub for a tight fit. The han-
dles are placed so that even one person can easily carry a
large cover. The locks, with one part fastened to the deck or
skirt, prevent small children or animals from entering the hot
tub.
Do not drag the safety hard cover across the hot tub or deck-
ing. Fold the cover first, then lift by the handles. Standing on
the hardcover could cause the tapered foam inserts to crack,
which will lead to water absorption.
NEVER LEAN OR STAND ON YOUR HARDCOVER.
The cover should be cleaned at least twice a year with a vinyl
moisturizer and protector.
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SAFETY HARDCOVER IS
IN PLACE AND LOCKED WHENEVER THE HOT TUB IS
NOT BEING USED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE OR CRACKING OF THE ACRYLIC SURFACE
NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
