Routine Equipment Maintenance
Draining Your Spa
The spa is gravity-drained, without the need for a pump. To drain the spa, locate the hose bib,
which was attached to the spa in the Initial Setup operation (described earlier), on the base near
the lower left side of the equipment panel. Remove the cap (if any) from the hose bib. Screw a
garden hose onto the hose bib, put the other end of the hose in a safe place for water run-off (do
not drain onto lawn or plants), and then turn the valve on the side of the hose bib ninety degrees
to release the flow of water. Do not forget to close the valve again before re-filling the spa.
For information about how often to drain and refill the spa, refer to the Water Care Guide that
came with the spa.
Filter Cleaning
IMPORTANT: To prevent debris from getting into the system
during filter cleaning, shut off the power to the spa at the GFCI
circuit breaker (see Initial Startup section of this manual for
details). If the spa has the Scrolling Message Center or
Control Panel, put it in Standby Mode, which ensures that no pumps
start up while cleaning the filters. With the Scrolling Message
Center, press the Dimension One ICON (logo) Button, found on the
right side of the Control Panel, for 5 seconds. With the
Control Panel, press and hold the center key on the 5-Key Context Keypad for 5 seconds. With
either controller, exit Standby mode by holding down either the logo button or the center key for
5 seconds. The spa will leave Standby Mode automatically after 30 minutes.)
Cleaning the Skimmer Filter
To clean the skimmer filter, remove the access lid that
covers the entire filter area. Lift the center float of the
skimmer assembly until it is fully extended. Hold the
centerpiece of the assembly and turn it
counterclockwise until the flats of the basket are
aligned with the securing tabs. Then pull the basket
assembly straight up to remove it.
Below the basket is the filter. Remove the filter by
twisting it 1/4 turn counterclockwise to its stop and 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, then replace the skimmer basket assembly
and the access cover. Then turn the power back on at the GFCI breaker or exit Standby Mode, if
you used it, as described above. After cleaning the filter, run the pump for a few minutes at high
speed before leaving the spa in its normal mode.
Cleaning the UltraPure™ Filter Cartridge
To clean the UltraPure™ filter, first remove the access lid (see photo) by
turning it counterclockwise. Remove and clean the filter in the same way as the
skimmer filter.
