FILTER MAINTENANCE

At least once a week, check and clean the skimmer basket and weir to ensure proper filter flow. Remove

leaves, foreign matter, and debris. It is very important to keep your spa filter cartridge clean and free of

particles to ensure proper water flow. A clean filter permits the hydrotherapy system to function properly and

also allows more efficient filter cycles. Depending on how frequently your spa is used, we recommend

cleaning the spa filter cartridge every four weeks. If this is not done, the filter may clog and restrict water flow,

which causes improper filtration and poor jet performance.

WARNING: The frequency and duration of use, and the number of occupants all contribute to

determining the appropriate time between filter cleanings. More use means that more frequent filter cleanings

will be required.

FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL AND CLEANING

Turn the spa OFF or turn the power to the spa OFF, then proceed as follows:

1. Push down slightly and turn filter basket counterclockwise to unlock, then pull the basket and weir out.

2. Carefully pull up the filter cartridge and bring it out of the spa.

3. Rinse cartridge using a garden hose. Rotate and separate 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 your filter cartridge with a “spa filter cleaning” solution to break down

and remove mineral deposits and oils.

4. To return basket and weir, insert and rotate clockwise to lock into position.

SPA LIGHT LENS INSTALLATION

For your spa enjoyment, a blue and red lens cover have been included with the spa’s owner’s package. The original clear lens is not removable - a colored lens can be

snapped over the clear lens to create the desired ambiance.

SPA LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

To replace the spa light bulb, disconnect power to the spa:

1. Remove equipment compartment door.

2. Locate the rear of the spa light and remove the bulb socket by turning it counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

3. Pull the bulb from the socket and replace by reversing the above steps.

CAUTION: The replacement bulb must be the same rating as the factory-installed bulb or standard automotive type #912.

CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS

The spa pillows used on the Olympia and Cascade models will provide years of comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the water level to

minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows should

be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If

the spa is not going to be used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa

pillows should be removed until the next use of the spa.

To remove and replace the spa pillows:

1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.

2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the pillow.

IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty.

3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back of the pillow.

4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.

5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell.
