Routine Equipment Maintenance
Draining Your Aquatic Fitness System
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot
use this system unless they are supervised at all times.
All models are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine
or chlorine has dissipated from the water. The sanitizer in your water will dissipate quickly by leaving
the cover off and exposing the water to direct sunlight. Drain and replace your water every six
months. For heavy use, you may wish to change the water more frequently.
You may purchase an optional submersible pump from your dealer or from our
Virtual Showroom at
www.d1spas.com to provide quicker drainage.
Filter Cleaning
AquaFit™ Dual Temp
Always turn off the power to the system before
cleaning the filter elements. Your system is equipped
with three top access filter cartridges – one on the
spa-side and two on the pool-side. We recommend
that you clean the filters every month as preventative
maintenance.
To clean the skimmer filter cartridge, remove the access lid covering the filter area. Lift the center
float of the skimmer assembly until it is fully extended. Hold the centerpiece of the assembly and
turn it counter clockwise until the flats of the basket are aligned with the securing tabs. Then pull the
basket assembly straight up to remove. Next, remove the E-Z Lock Filter cartridge by twisting the
cartridge ¼ turn counterclockwise to its stop. (Be careful not to overturn the filter.) Then lift the filter
out of its canister. Clean the cartridge with a high-pressure garden hose. Every other cleaning, soak
the cartridges in a filter-cleaning solution, rinse it thoroughly, and reinstall. Replace the skimmer
basket assembly and the access lid or cover. After cleaning, run the pump for a few minutes at high
speed, then return to the heating mode.
