SPA MAINTENANCE

FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE

Every month, the filter cartridge should be cleaned to remove the objects and particles that

have lodged in the cartridge pleats. Using household water pressure and a garden hose with a

pressurized nozzle, push water from inside to outside of the pleats, forcing all the trapped particles

out.

NOTE: Never run your spa without a filter cartridge!!! This will invalidate your warranty.

NOTE: Filter cartridges should be replaced every six to eight months or earlier when needed.

Dirty filters can cause your spa pump to burn out and will invalidate your warranty.

FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Spa uses a screw in filter cartridge that is easily removed.

• Turn off the power to the spa.

• Push down slightly and turn filter basket counter clockwise to unlock, then pull the basket and

weir out.

• Unscrew the filter cartridge counter clockwise and bring it out of the spa (requires many turns).

• Rinse cartridge using a garden hose. Rotate and separate filter pleats while spraying water to

remove all dirt and debris possible. Let filter dry and look for calcium deposits (scaling) or an oil

film. If you find these, you will need to deep clean your filter cartridge with a “spa filter cleaner”

solution to break down and remove unwanted deposits and oils. (For longer filter life you

should soak filter in solution regularly).

CAUTION! Always use proper eye protection when using chemicals, or high-pressure water.

Read instructions on cleaning products and follow applicable safety and warning instructions listed

on label.

CAUTION! Never scrub the filter cartridge with a brush, as this will cause the filter to wear out and

come apart. Never let the spa pump run without a filter cartridge in the skimmer compartment.

Running the spa without a filter cartridge may permit debris to enter the spa plumbing and void the

warranty!

• Replace filter cartridge, then return basket and weir, insert and rotate clockwise to lock into

position. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

• Turn spa’s power back on.
