MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Removing Debris
Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction
guard(s) on the inside of the spa. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of
water through the jetting system.
2. Water Level
Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds
up the Vortex skimmer opening. (See STARTING YOUR SPA.) Low and
high water levels can damage your spa. It is important to check your water
level often.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Filter Care
We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water
filtration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent
your chemicals from working properly. Dirty filters can also cause low flow
from jets, poor water clarity and sensors to activate error codes. It is
important to clean filters regularly. Many water treatment products clear or
clarify the water by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so
that these larger particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter
clogged with debris and calcium deposits does not trap particles properly.
The Maintenance Reminder on the spa-side Control Panel indicates a CL
every 30 days to remind you to clean your filter.
EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of water leakage around the
pump(s). Pump seals wear out over time, especially with improper water
chemistry. Early detection of pump seal failure can significantly reduce repair costs.
Ozonator Operation
The ozonator functions whenever the system is running on filter or clean up
cycles. Check to see if the bulb is lighted. The end cap of the ozonator should
glow if functioning properly. If not, the bulb has burned out. Contact your dealer
for service.
Draining and Filling the Spa
On average, a 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. More frequent draining may be
required depending on use.
Draining the Spa
A. Turn off the power to the spa.
B. Open the equipment compartment (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM).
Remove the hose bib cap from the connection and attach a hose.
C. Open the drain valve. Gravity causes the water to drain out of the hose.
D. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve and remove the hose.
Reinstall the 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.
AS NEEDED MAINTENANCE
Cover Care
Proper care of the cover increases the life and keeps it looking great in even the
harshest conditions. NOTE: Do not use regular household products or products
that contain silicone, alcohol, steel wool, or bleach.
Synthetic Exterior Care
Clean the exterior of the spa with a mild soap and water solution. Cleaners that
contain alcohol or high levels of solvents, along with Acetone, Nitrobenzene, and
Cyclohexanol, can dissolve and discolor the synthetic exterior.
Clean the Acrylic Interior
Once the spa is drained, clean the acrylic interior thoroughly: especially at the
water line. Bleach (diluted) is the recommended cleaning agent for acrylic –
other products should be avoided except as stated below.
To maintain the high gloss, elegant look of LUCITE XL just follow these simple
steps: Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs.
For normal care and cleaning use a soft cloth or sponge with soap and water.
Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. If using a household cleaner, make
sure it is recommended for use on acrylic by the manufacturer. Never use
abrasive cleaners. Do not allow your acrylic surface to come into contact with
products such as ketones or esters such as acetone or ethyl acetate (nail polish
remover), Wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate), nail polish, dry cleaning solution or
other chlorinated organic solvents, lacquer thinners, gasoline, aromatic solvents,
pine oil, etc. Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Clean grease, oil,
paint and ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp instruments that might scratch the
surface.
NOTE: Due to the high-gloss, fine finish of the acrylics, imperfections in the
surface texture may occur. A natural aging process in acrylic can lead to a
process called crazing. Fine spider web-like lines can form on the cosmetic
surface of acrylic over time after exposure to the elements and chemicals.
Crazing represents no structural weakening of acrylic and is not covered under
the warranty. Fading, staining and discoloration may also occur but represent no
structural degradation and are not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Do not leave an empty spa uncovered. Direct sunlight on the spa surface
can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in the voiding of any
surface warranties.
Excess Debris
Grit and debris tracked into the spa should be removed with a spa vacuum.
