SAFETY FEATURES
A. Freeze Protection
If the temperature in the spa plumbing falls
below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees
celsius), the water pump will turn on low speed
and run for one minute. After one minute, if the
water is still at 50 F, the heater will turn on and
raise the temperature 10 Degrees. The top side
control will display the message "ICE" to
indicate potential freeze conditions.
B. Flow Protection
If the flow of water through the heater is
insufficient, the spa controller will automatically
turn off the heater to prevent overheating. The
display will show "FLO", indicating a flow
restriction caused by a clogged filter or pump
impeller, a malfunction of the pressure switch or
a defective pump motor. Refer to the Trouble
Shooting Chart. If you cannot pinpoint the
cause, Call DM Industries Ltd's Service Center
for technical assistance.

If a malfunction occurs and the spa water
temperature reaches 112F, the pump and

MAINTENANCE
LINER
Your spa liner will last many years when properly
used and maintained. The primary cause of failure is
the improper care of the water. A regular program of
water treatment as outlined in "Important
Maintenance Procedures" is essential. Avoid a low
pH. as this will cause unsightly wrinkles to form in
the liner.
Cleanliness - Empty your voyager and refill with
clean water every 2 to 3 months or when it becomes
cloudy and proper water chemistry does not clear it
up. While empty, use a mild non-foaming soap
solution or mild detergent to wipe away any soil or
stains on the liner. Rinse thoroughly before refilling
the spa. Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool,
stiff bristle brushes or abrasive cleaners.
Storage - Always dry the liner if you want to move
the Voyager or store it for a period of time. It is
recommended to store the liner in a warm dry place.
Repair - If your liner gets torn or punctured, a repair
Vinyl Kit can be bought from your retailer or obtained
by calling DM Industries Ltd.'s Service Center. A
secure, unnoticeable repair can usually be made.
COVER -
Fading and discoloration will occur with
extended exposure to the sun and water chemicals.
This will not affect its integrity and its insulation value.
We recommend to clean the cover monthly to
maintain its original appearance. Just hose it down
and scrub it using a sponge with a mild soap
solution. Rinse it thoroughly and let it dry prior to
placing it back on the spa. If your cover is punctured,
repair it with the repair kit provided.
Filter Cartridge Removal and Cleaning
Clean your filter every 4 to 6 weeks depending on
usage. Turn the spa off by unplugging the GFCI and
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the filter by pulling it down.
2. Rinse the filter using a garden hose. Rotate and
separate the filter pleats while spraying water to
remove all debris possible. Let the filter dry and
then look for calcium deposits (scaling) or an oil
film. If you find these, you will need to deep clean
the filter cartridge with a filter cleaning solution to
break down and remove mineral deposits and
oils. The filter cartridge should be replaced with a
new cartridge every 6 to 9 months.
3. Place the filter cartridge back by pushing it
upward into its adapter. It is recommended to
have a second filter as spare part. Filter cartridges
and cleaning solutions are available at your
retailer.
Winterizing your Spa.
The Voyager is designed to be operated year round.
If you decide not to use your spa during the winter
or during an extended period of time, it is
recommended to disassemble it and store it in a dry
and warm place. Remember to clean and dry the
liner as outlined previously.
If you decide to keep and use your spa outside
during the winter, keep it at the desired temperature,
making sure to keep the cover on. The added
"Freeze Protection" safety feature will insure a safe
operation.
