er, such as Lysol Tub & Tile Cleaner®, Ivory Bathroom Cleaner®, etc.
Make sure to rinse thoroughly before relling. Otherwise, your spa
will make soapsuds when you operate the spa. Keep ngernail remov-
er, acetone, etc. away from the spa’s surface.
Keep sharp instruments, nails, etc. from coming into contact with
the acrylic surface of your spa. If your spa’s surface does become
slightly scratched, ICI (the maker of Lucite©) recommends apply-
ing a coat of auto wax on the scratch. For more serious scratches, it
is suggested you carefully sand the scratch with 400 grit sandpaper.
For scratches or chips that go completely through the acrylic surface,
acrylic repair becomes necessary. There are repair kits available at
most spa supply stores.
Draining your Spa
Occasionally, it may become necessary to drain your spa for thor-
ough cleaning or other reasons.
Before draining your spa, turn off Main Power Switch. Otherwise
serious damage to equipment may result.
Siphoning is the easiest method for draining your spa. Before si-
phoning, make sure that your pump is off and will remain off while the
spa is draining or empty. (Do this by pushing the “test” or “off” button
on your G.F.C.I., or turn off the Main Power Switch on the equipment
pack.) The easiest way to start a siphon is to leave your garden hose
hooked to a water spigot, with the free end of the hose in your spa wa-
ter. Turn on the faucet, as if to add water to your spa. As soon as water
starts running into the spa, quickly turn off the water and unscrew the
hose from the faucet. The water will automatically start siphoning out.
Note: The above method of starting a siphon only works when the
faucet is below the water level of the spa.
Another way of emptying your spa is to use the faucet or spigot
attached to the equipment pack. Open the valve (turn the spigot). If
desired, you may attach a garden hose to the faucet. The water will
start to drain out as long as the free end of the hose is below the water
level of the spa.
Note: The above method will drain the water only to the level of the
lowest circulating tting in the spa. The remaining water will have to
be siphoned or bailed out.
