The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
¥ Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown on page 9, step 3.
¥ Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 16).
¥ Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
WEEKLY
¥ Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
¥ Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
¥ Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
¥ Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
EVERY THREE MONTHS
¥ Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
¥ Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
¥ Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
¥ Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
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. You should also use a non-silicone based
vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This
will help protect the cover from sun damage.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa shell burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover to replace it (see ATTACH-
ING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on
page 16).
Locate the light housing. Turn the housing counter-
clockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions etc.
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.
We recommend that you contact your local pool and
spa supplier for information on how you should best
accomplish this.
