Maintenance
The internal drainpipe(s) is/are behind the front
panel. Remove the screws from the access panel,
and then the panel itself. Locate the drainpipe(s).
Remove the cap from the valve of each drainpipe,
couple the garden hose and turn the handwheels
of the valve 90° anti-clockwise. The water will
start to flow. Once the water has been drained
from the spa, turn the handwheel of the valve
clockwise until it stops. Remove the hose and
replace the cap. Do this for each internal
drainpipe.
NOTE:
NEVER try to empty the spa using
the pump.
NOTE:
Always make sure that you close the
drainpipes before you refill the spa.
NOTE:
When replacing the spa water you may
have to bleed the air out of the system.
For more information, see page 11,
starting to use your spa.
Maintaining the filter
NOTE:
You do not need to empty the water from
the spa to clean the filters.
The removable filter element is in the skimmer
behind the skimmer flap. Under normal conditions,
the filter must be checked/cleaned monthly,
and more often if the spa is used intensively.
The filter system in your spa may also include a
First Filter. This is an extra filter that is fixed to
the top of the skimmer basket. This filter helps
to trap microscopic organic particles, as well as
dust, hairs, soap residue and cosmetic oils. To
clean this filter, remove it, rinse it clean or let it
soak in a filter cleaning agent according to the
instructions. Then replace the filter. If the First
Filter is not completely white after cleaning, it
should be replaced. The filters can be bought
from your spa supplier.
Keep the filter cartridge clean!
Clean the filter cartridge at least once every
three months. A clogged filter can affect the
water quality and how well the spa works.
To clean the filter cartridge:
1. Switch the pump off.
2. Remove the cover from the skimmer.
3. Remove the filter basket.
4. Remove the filter element from the
skimmer by gripping the top edge and
pulling it upwards.
5. Soak the filter in a commercial filter cleaner /
degreaser (available from your Coleman
Spas
®
supplier) making sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Clean the filter
element and replace as necessary.
6. Replace the filter element into the skimmer.
If the spa is empty, the skimmer can be
obstructed by the skimmer flap. Hold the
flap out of the way while replacing the filter
element. If the spa is full, move the skimmer
flap to make it easier to replace the filter
element.
7. Replace the filter basket and the skimmer
cover.
8. Switch the pump on.
To keep your spa working at its best, we
recommend that you replace the filter element
