FILTER MAINTENANCE
Your Spa is designed with the most efficient top loading filtration
system in the industry. Filter maintenance is the most critical fac-
tor in keeping your spa water clean.
TO CLEAN THE FILTER
(NOTE: NEVER RUN THE SPA WITHOUT A FILTER INSTALLED)
Remove the skimmer basket and the cartridge. Spray it with a
garden hose. It will be necessary to rotate the cartridge while
spraying so as to thoroughly remove the debris lodged between
the filter pleats.
After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for calcium deposit
(scaling) or an oil film. Rapid mineral build-up from hard water,
or oil build-up from the use of oil-based water scent or body oil
may coat the filter cartridge. A filter cleaner to soak the cartridge
is available from your local Spa dealer and should be used as
part of your spa maintenance. Use a rag to remove any debris at
the bottom of the filter housing. Replace the cartridge in the fil-
ter housing. We recommend the use of a spare filter. This way
one can be soaking and cleaning while you continue to enjoy the
use of your spa.
EXCEL-PLUS and
EXCEL-X CABINET MAINTENANCE
The exterior of your xStream Duo Pro Spa cabinet is made from
newly formulated high strength materials that are factory
stained and sealed. Depending on the location and exposure of
the spa to nature’s elements, it is recommended that you clean
the cabinet once or twice a year with warm water and a mild
soap.
CARE OF ACRYLIC SURFACE
To maintain the surface of your spa, simply clean with a soft
damp cloth (a mild detergent is okay) or with any glass cleaner.
DO NOT clean the surface with any type of abrasive as it will dull
the surface and natural luster of the acrylic. DO NOT use any
type of oil based solvent. Such products can be very harmful to
the surface of the spa and will void the surface warranty of the
spa.
COVER MAINTENANCE
Your cover is manufactured from a durable marine grade, UV
resistant material. Even so, monthly cleaning and periodic con-
ditioning is recommended to maintain its beauty. To clean and
condition the vinyl cover: Lightly spray the cover with a garden
hose to rinse it and remove the debris. Using a large sponge or
soft cloth and a mild soap solution (5ml [1 teaspoon] dish wash-
ing liquid with 10 liters [2 gallons] of water), scrub lightly in cir-
cular motion. Then rinse it thoroughly with plenty of water.
Condition the vinyl after cleaning by applying a thin film of vinyl
conditioner. NOTE: To remove tree saps, use lighter fluid (not
charcoal lighter but the kind used in cigarette lighters). Use
sparingly and rinse with mild soap solution afterwards. Wipe dry.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
Detergent residues from bathing suits as well as soap film from
your body may gradually accumulate in the water. Foam
inhibitors will suppress the foam but will not remove the soap
from the water. Eventually, the soap build-up in the water will
concentrate enough to leave an unclean feeling on the user’s
skin, causing sudsing and make the water impossible to clarify.
Depending on the amount of soap input, the spa water should
last between four to six months.
