Routine Equipment Maintenance
Draining Your System
Your system does not need a pump to drain. To drain the system, turn off the power at the GFCI (see
Initial Startup section for details, pg. 5) and locate the hose bibs inside the equipment compartment
(the spigots that you attach to a garden hose). Remove the caps from the hose bibs. Screw a garden
hose onto one of the hose bibs, put the other end of the hose in a safe place for water run-off (do not
drain onto lawn or plants), and turn the valve on the side of the hose bib to release the flow of water.
After it drains, do the same with each of the other hose bibs. Don’t forget to close the valves again
before you re-fill the system. For information about how often you should drain and refill your system,
refer to the Water Care Guide that came with the system.
Filter Cleaning
Important: To prevent debris from getting into the system during filter cleaning, shut off the power at
the GFCI. See Initial Startup section on page 5 of this manual for details on the GFCI.
Your system has two topside filters, if you have the Dual-Temp
model; the separate spa area has a third topside filter. See
photos at right. To clean the filter, lift the center float of the
skimmer assembly until it reaches full extension. Then turn it
counterclockwise until the flats of the basket line up with the
securing tabs. Pull the basket assembly straight up to remove
it.
Remove the filter below the basket by twisting it 1/4 turn
counterclockwise to its stop. Lift the filter out of its canister.
Clean the filter with a high-pressure garden hose. Every other
cleaning, soak the filter in filter-cleaning solution and rinse it
thoroughly. Reinstall the filter by reversing the removal
process, replace the skimmer basket assembly. Turn the
power back on at the GFCI breaker. Run the pump a few
minutes at high speed before leaving the system in its normal heating mode. We recommend that you
clean the filters every month as preventative maintenance.
Light Replacement
1. Turn the power off at the GFCI breaker and drain the water to
below the level of the light.
2. Using the special tool provided in the owner’s manual packet,
unscrew the lens that covers the light housing.
3. Remove the old bulb and install the new bulb.
4. Use the special tool to replace the lens on the light housing.
5. Turn the light on and off to make sure it works before refilling the system.
Be sure the rubber O-ring behind the lens does not have damage and is positioned
properly when replacing the lens. Contact Dimension One Spas if you need a
replacement O-ring.
Do not attempt to remove the lens without draining the water to below the level of the
light. Do not attempt to remove the lens without the special tool it will break the seal on
the light, causing leakage and voiding your warranty. If you have lost it, contact
Dimension One Spas Service Department to have one sent.
