Reinstalling the Filter
Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not
overtighten the filter as it may cause the threads
on the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in
place. When replacing the Vortex filter top, center
the top over the raised filter ring and press down
firmly until the top snaps into place. (See INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridge.)
EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Draining and Filling the Spa
The average spa needs to be drained every three to
four months. After months of continually adding
chemicals to the water and introducing body oils
and lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and
chemicals are not as effective as usual. You may
also notice excessive foaming. A maintenance
reminder appears on the control panel as “CH” to
remind you to change water. More frequent
draining may be required depending on use.
1. Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of
water leakage around the pump. Pump seals
wear out over time, especially with improper
water chemistry. Early detection of pump seal
failure can significantly reduce repair costs.
2. Ozonator Operation
Check to see if the bulb is lighted. The ozonator
functions whenever the system is running on
filter or clean up cycles. The end cap of the
ozonator should glow if functioning properly. If not,
the bulb has burned out. Contact your dealer for
service.
3. Draining the Spa
A. Turn off the power to the spa.
B. Remove the hose bib plug from the external
drain and fill connection and attach a hose.
C. Open the drain valve in the equipment
compartment.
D. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve
and remove the hose. Reinstall hose bib plug.
NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times
except when draining the spa (do not rely on the cap
to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could result in
damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.

Mineral Cartridge
This cartridge should be replaced every four months.
You may still feel the “spent” minerals inside, but they
are no longer effective and need to be replaced.
Check the end cap of
the optional ozonator
for a purple glow.
