Maintenance The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DAILY • Check the water level and refill the spa to the level shown in step 4 on page 9. • Check the pH balance and the sanitizer level and make adjustments if necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14). • Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net. WEEKLY • Clean the spa shell at the waterline. • Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK- ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on page 14). • Replace the filter if necessary (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual). MONTHLY • Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER on this page). • Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos- phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water. • Replace the filter if necessary (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover). EVERY THREE MONTHS • Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water. • Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detecting leaks early can reduce repair costs. • Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or waxes. EVERY SIX MONTHS • Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN- TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR on this page). MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR The wood panel exterior has been treated with a sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish twice a year with an additional coat of weather sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for advice on which sealants work best in your climate. CLEANING THE SPA SHELL The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always be clean and dry before being moved or stored. MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage. SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA Refer to your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the spa. The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several factors, such as user load, temperature, water conditions, etc. Proper water maintenance is a complex process. We recommend that you contact your local pool and spa supplier for information on how you should accomplish this. 13
