SPA COVER CARE
CLEANING AND VINYL CARE Keep the cover clean. As
often as is necessary wash with mild soap and rinse with
clean potable water. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, PETROLE-
UM PRODUCTS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR STRONG
DETERGENTS. All vinyls contain plasticizers which migrate
out and escape naturally over time. Sun and cold speed up
this process. Applications of vinyl cleaner and conditioner,
when used according to the manufacturers instructions, may
retard this type of deterioration. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS
THAT CONTAIN SILICONE OR ALCOHOL.
CHEMICALS The vinyl and thread are marine treated but
will deteriorate quicker when exposed to high levels of chlo-
rine, bromine, ozone or other active chemicals. At the time
chemicals are added, remove the cover completely and
place it far enough away so splashing cannot inadvertently
reach the cover. Chemicals should be added frequently at
low levels instead of infrequently at high levels.
CARE OF SEWING HOLES AND THREAD The sewing
holes and thread are the greatest potential weakness in a
cover. Vinyl is a soft, leather-like material which the thread
can cut if the cover is roughly handled. This is especially
true when the vinyl has been exposed to hot sun. The han-
dles, tie-downs and hinge are double reinforced with thick,
vinyl coated, rip-stop polyester webbing. However, mis-
treatment by sudden jerking motions can damage them.
Stretching or pulling one half against the other may rip the
cover at the thread holes. To prevent damage, any handling
of the cover should be done in a gentle manner.
Note: Fading and discoloration will occur naturally with
extended exposure to the sun.
NON-OPERATION IN COLD CLIMATE
If the spa is to be left unused for an extended period of time in
areas where freezing temperatures DO NOT OCCUR, it may be
desirable to switch the spa to ECONOMY mode. When in ECON-
OMY mode, the spa water temperature is maintained within 20
0
F
of the set temperature.The automatic filter cycles, along with occa-
sional chemical treatments, will keep the spa water clean and
sparkling. When preparing the spa for use, check the water chem-
istry to assure correct chlorine or bromine and pH levels.
You can keep the water in the spa during the time of year
when freezing at the spa location may occur. When the spa
water temperature is 20
0
F lower than the set temperature, the
pumps and heater will be activated automatically to circulate
the water. The LCD will display the “COOL” message.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
If you wish to leave your spa empty and it is located where
freezing temperatures occur, follow steps 1 thru 5 outlined
in “DRAINING YOUR SPA” on page 14 then complete the
following steps:
1. If your spa is equipped with the optional Air pump, refer
to “EQUIPMENT LOCATION” page 11 and identify its
location. If you do not have this option proceed to step #4.
2. Remove the screws securing the spa side panel and
remove panel (left hand side of spa when facing the spa-
side control - not the equipment compartment door).
3. Attach a shop vacuum hose to the air intake of the Air
pump, then operate the shop vacuum (in blow mode) for
a few seconds until all water has been removed from the
air jets and air channel.
NOTE: Make certain all power to the spa is OFF before you continue.
4. It will be necessary to remove all water from the interi-
or plumbing. Refer to the illustration on page 6 to locate
the drain/suction fittings. Remove the screws securing the
drain/suction covers, then remove the suction cover by
turning counter-clockwise.
CAUTION must be used with this approach. In the event of electrical
power interruption, regardless of the cause, the heater and pump will
stop operating and freeze protection will be lost, possibly resulting in
freeze damage to the spa, spa plumbing and/or Control Module.
