SPA WATER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
36
The spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is
recommended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require
cleaning it more often.
CHEMICAL TEST FREQUENCY
Spa water should be tested at least every day. More frequent tests should be conducted
during high bather load conditions. Chemicals shall be maintained within the guidelines set
forth in the Water Quality Maintenance sections of this manual.
DRAIN YOUR SPA
1. Due to the physical size of the spa, we recommend draining your spa with
a submersible sump pump. Draining your spa with a conventional spa drain
is not a reasonable option in some cases.
2. Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of the spa.
3. Loosen all pump unions
4. Remove winterizing plug from face of the pump(s) where applicable.
5. Using your shop vac in a blowing mode, insert the hose into the nozzle of each jet and
blow the trapped water from the lines into the interior of the spa.
6.
Connect a hose to the manifold drains located on the step side of the unit to drain manifolds.
7. After this is completed, use the shop vac to remove any standing water in the spa and in
the equipment area.
CLEAN YOUR SPA SURFACE
With a soft cloth, wipe down the spa surface with a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner.
Do not use paper towels. Be sure to rinse residue from spa surface.
REFILL YOUR SPA
Fill the spa with water and be sure that water level is above the skimmer opening at the
minimum safe water level. Under no circumstances should the spa water line be allowed to
drop below the minimum safe waterline mark on the skimmer faceplate.
CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENT
The filter is one of the most important components of your spa. It not only is essential for
clean water, but also for extending the life of the spa equipment. Your filter element must be
cleaned regularly (once a month on average) with normal spa use. With heavy use, they will
need to be cleaned more often.
Turn off the spa before servicing filters. Never leave to the spa running when removing the
filters. Debris can be pulled into the plumbing system and cause unwarranted damage.
With a garden hose, spray each element under pressure.
• Replace filter elements.
• Be sure water level is adequate.
• Turn spa on.
• Verify that operating pressure has dropped back down to the acceptable range.
CHECK WATER CLARITY
Never open the spa to the public if water clarity is in question. Water clarity can be checked
with a Secchi Disk.
SECCHI DISK
Lower to the bottom of the spa. If the disk is not completely visible, do not open spa until
water clarity problem is corrected.
