Champion Spas®
OWNER'S MANUAL
Filter System
Champion Spas® are equipped with two standard filter cartridges. As with any filtering system,
the filter cartridges may become clogged with particles, body oils or calcification resulting in
poor water quality and reduced water flow. It is important to maintain a clean, unobstructed
filtering system. A reduced water flow may cause a failure of the filter cycles to operate due to
the pump shutting down. If the circulation of water stops during sub-freezing temperatures and
goes unnoticed, the spa water may freeze, which is not covered under manufacturer's warranties.

CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS
The spa pillows used on Champion Spas® models will provide years of comfort if treated with
care. To extend their life the spa pillows should be removed and cleaned. Wash with a mild soap
and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If
the spa is not going to be used for a long period of time the spa pillows should be removed until
the next spa use.
To remove and replace the spa pillows:
Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.1.
Continue lifting one end until it is released from the attachment bar on the spa shell. Do 2.
the same to loosen the other end of pillow.
