The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your spa.
Maintenance Schedule
Daily
Maintaining the Spa Exterior
The surround is maintenance free. The surround should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents
or waxes.[Back to top] Cleaning the Spa Shell
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents or waxes. The spa should always be
clean and dry before being moved or stored.[Back to top] Maintaining the Spa Cover
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner on the entire
cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone
based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage.[Back to top] Checking and Cleaning the Filter
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be
cleaned, follow the steps below:
 Water Chemistry
Maintaining the pH level of the water is very important to the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH level and
to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa supply store.CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guidelines when handling the chemicals:
Maintaining the Proper pH Balance
The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity in the water, and is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure
water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should
maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to corrode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sanitation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty. To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the water regularly. To test the water, purchase a pH test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See the instructions with your pH test kit for additional information about testing and adjusting the pH. [Back to top] Sanitizing the Hydrotherapy Spa
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several
factors, such as user load, temperature, and water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a complex process. Contact
your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the
spa.[Back to top] Changing the Filter Cycle
The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The duration of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours. Press
the temperature up or down button on the console, then press pump button 1. The display will read “F2.” To change the
time, press the temp up button until the desired time is reached. Press pump button 2 to confirm the selection.Pump 2 purges for five minutes and the blower purges for 30 seconds at the beginning of each filter cycle. Pump 1 will run on low during filtration and the ozone generator will be enabled. Note: This is for models that are equipped with 2 pumps. As spa usage increases, the duration of the filter cycle may need to be increased. [Back to top] Attaching and Removing the Access Panel
To remove the Access Panel start by turning off the spa power. Remove the four #10 x 2” Machine Screws that secure
the indicated Access Panel to the spa. 
Carefully remove the Access Panel until the CD wire harness, models with CD
players only, is visible and disconnect it. Set the Access Panel aside. Note: Be careful not to damage the spa shell. To attach the Access Panel (1), hold the Access Panel in place, connect the CD wire harness to the CD Player, (Models with CD players only) and reattach the Access Panel to the spa using the four #10 x 2” Machine Screws (4). Note: Be careful not to over tighten the Screws. [Back to top] Draining the Hydrotherapy Spa
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four times per year and refilled with clean water. You may need to
drain the spa more often, depending on the user load. This must be done because after repeated chemical treatment the
water becomes chemically saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical treatment of the water is no longer effective.
The spa should also be drained if you will not be using it for long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.Note: The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause extensive damage. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty. To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:
 Draining the Pumps
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained, the jet pumps should also be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.Turn off the power to the spa. To drain the jet pumps, remove the access panel from the spa (see Attaching and Removing the Access Panel). Locate the jet pumps inside the spa. Loosen the indicated collar on each of the pumps. [Back to top] Winter Use and Care
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use. If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in a warm,
dry location.Follow the steps below to winterize the spa:
Replacing the 12V bulb or LED Lights (For Some Models)
Remove the access panels (see Attaching and Removing the Access Panel). Make sure the spa power is turned off. Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell. (Figure 1)  To replace the light, pull the old light out of the housing and insert a new light. Reattach the light housing to the spa shell. Reattach the access panels to the spa. (Figure 2) [Back to top] |
