MICROFILTER REMOVAL AND MAINTENANCE
The Microfilter in the hot tub should be cleaned
approximately every two weeks or more if bather load
is high. Failure to clean the Microfilter can result in
cloudy water, odor and potential equipment damage due
to decreased flow. To remove the Microfilter, turn off
power to the hot tub at the GFCI breaker or at the power
disconnect.
To remove, twist the trim ring to unlock it and remove with
the floating weir assembly, then lift out the basket and
then pull out the Microfilter. See figure 8. Remove any
hair or debris from the basket. Soak the Microfilter in a
cleaner such as Filter Pure overnight and then remove
and rinse thoroughly with a hose spray nozzle to remove
cleaner residue. It is recommended that you alternate
Microfilter cleaning each month with Filter Cure. It is also
advisable to have two Microfilters, to alternate while the
other is soaking in the cleaner.
4. Open the air bleed valve to release any air trapped in
the external plumbing (see equipment configuration
diagrams in this guide). There is one on the 300 and
500 series hot tubs, two on a 500 series with Hush
Pump™ and a standard 700 series and three on a 700
series with Hush Pump™. Once all air is bled from the
system, open any knife valves that are facing down.
5. With the air bled from the system, you can now turn on
the power at the GFCI. Once the control panel is on, use
the instructions on the following pages to complete your
start up. Refer to the instructions for the control panel
that matches your system.
