NOTE: Close and replace caps on all drains
prior to relling the spa.
NOTE: When relling the spa, you may
need to bleed air from the system. Refer to
Priming Your Spa, pg. 15, for instructions.
Filter Maintenance
NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the spa
in order to clean the lter.
The removable lter cartridge is located in the
lter canister behind the skimmer. The lter
should be inspected/cleaned monthly during
normal use, and more often when spa use is
heavy. Your ltration system may also include
a First Filter, an additional lter that is placed
on top of the skimmer basket and pressed into
place. This lter aids the collection of micro-
scopic organic matter, debris, hair, soap resi-
due and body oils. To clean this lter, remove,
rinse or soak in cartridge cleaner as directed,
and reinstall. When First Filter is no longer
white after cleaning, replace with a new lter.
These can be purchased from your dealer.
Keep the lter cartridge clean! Clean the
lter cartridge at least once every 90 days.
A clogged lter decreases performance and
degrades water quality.
To clean the lter cartridge:
1. Turn the pump o.
2. Remove skimmer lid on top of spa.
3. Remove strainer basket.
4. Remove lter cartridge from the lter
canister by grasping the top and lifting
upwards.
5. Soak lter in a commercial lter cleaner/
degreaser, available from your MAAX
Spa® dealer, per manufacturer’s instructions.
Hose out lter cartridge or replace with new
cartridge, if needed.
6. Place lter cartridge back into lter canister.
When the spa is empty, the weir door may
block the lter canister. You must hold it out
of the way when reinstalling the cartridge.
When the spa is full, the door will oat so
you will have easy access for installing the
lter cartridge.
7. Replace strainer basket and skimmer lid.
8. Turn the pump ON.
Replacing the lter cartridge annually is
recommended to maintain optimum perfor-
mance. Filter maintenance depends on usage.
Winterizing
In cold climates where freezing temperatures
occur, special care is required to prevent
the possibility of damage to the spa and
equipment due to freezing.
If you plan on using your spa during cold
months, be sure your pump and heater are in
good working order. The spa shell has been
insulated to provide ecient operation in cold
weather areas.
NOTE: If you elect not to drain your spa
and the temperature is going to be below
freezing for extended periods of time, it
is best to operate the spa heater at the
maximum high temperature (to 40°C),
especially if there is a power outage threat.
This will help keep the spa water from
freezing if you have a power failure.
If you do not intend to use your spa during the
winter months and there is danger of freezing,
use the following steps to winterize your spa:
1. Turn o all electrical power to the spa.
2. Drain spa and hoses of all water using the
directions for Draining Your Spa (pg. 24).
Open all unions, and remove drain plugs
