EVERYDAY HOT TUBS

OWNER’S MANUAL

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 acrylic finish, imperfections in the surface texture

may occur but in no way compromise the integrity of the spa shell.

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.

Water Line

To avoid buildup of oils and lotions at the water line, clean the interior when

needed. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.

NOTE: Do not use the same brush or sponge to clean the exterior of the spa

and the interior of the spa. Soap and other product residue used on the outside

of the spa can cause foaming of the spa water and scratches to the spa surface.

Light Bulb Replacement

A. Turn off the power to the spa.

B. Remove the equipment area door to find the light access. (See

EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM.)

C. Remove the lamp socket from the back of the light assembly by turning

counterclockwise and pulling at the same time.

SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING THE SPA

If you decide to discontinue the use of your spa for any extended period of time,

we suggest you follow the steps below.

NOTE: During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment from

condensation within the equipment compartment.

1. Turn off the power to the spa.

2. Drain the spa. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA.)

3. Remove all residual water from the seating and footwell. If necessary, bail

out the remaining water then dry the spa with towels. A wet/dry vacuum is

recommended for best results.

4. Using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum nozzle over each jet nozzle to

remove water from plumbing lines, starting with the highest jet and finishing with

the lowest jet.

5. Unscrew the pump plug(s) from the pump(s). (See STARTING YOUR SPA.)

6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place nozzle over the exposed pump

opening(s) to remove excess water. The pump(s) should be removed from

the spa and stored in a climate-controlled room.

7. Clean the spa interior.

8. Clean the filter cartridges.

9. Reinstall the spa cover and lock in place.

NOTE: Direct sunlight on the spa surface can cause severe damage or

blemishing and can result in the voiding of any surface warranties.

IMPORTANT CHEMICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

1. Always keep chemicals out of reach of children.

2. Read product labels carefully prior to use.

3. When dissolving, always add chemicals to water, do not add water to

chemicals. Some dry chemicals should be dissolved prior to adding them to

the spa. Using a clean container, dip some water from the spa. Mix until

dissolved, then add to circulating water.

4. CAUTION: Do not mix chemicals together. Add them separately to the spa

water.

5. All chemical products should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

where the average temperature does not exceed 90°F (32°C). Keep storage

area clean of debris such as rags, newspaper, and combustible materials.

6. Keep chemicals away from open flame or other heat source. Do not smoke

near chemicals. If a dry chlorine chemical fire should occur, use water only.

Do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to attempt to put out the fire.

7. When adding chemicals, always keep the water circulating in the spa with

jets in a downward circular pattern for better chemical distribution. Add

chemicals to the spa water one at a time. Allow several minutes between any

new chemical additions using the jet action to evenly distribute throughout

the spa.

8. After adding chemicals, wait the amount of time recommended on the

chemical container before retesting your water for an accurate reading.

Retest your spa water before using.

9. If you have any questions or concerns about the correct procedures for

handling chemicals, please contact your authorized dealer.

WATER CARE

There are three things necessary for clean safe water:

1. CIRCULATE: Water has to be circulated regularly; it can not be stagnant.

2. FILTER: Water has to be filtered to remove particulate and debris.

3. SANITIZE: Water has to be sanitized to kill organisms like algae, bacteria and

virus.

The control system in your spa will automatically circulate and filter. (See SPA

CONTROL OPERATION.) The sanitation requires minimal effort if done

consistently and properly.

To sanitize spa water, three things are required:

1. BALANCE: The water must be balanced so the sanitizer can work and spa

equipment is protected.

2. SHOCK: Shock to oxidize organics and maximize sanitizer efficiency.

3. SANITIZE: Maintain a proper level of sanitizer at all times.

WATER CARE TROUBLESHOOTING

Cloudy Water

P: Inadequate filtration or dirty filter.

S: Ensure that the filter is securely installed. Clean or replace filter.

Increase the length of clean up and/or filter cycles.

P: Water is not balanced.

S: Test water and adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer as needed. Shock to

oxidize and destroy organics in the water.

P: Unfiltered particles or chemically saturated.

S: Use Water Clarifier to combine particles.
