every year. How often you have to clean the filter
depends on how intensively the spa is used.
Getting your spa ready for winter
In cold climates, where the temperature drops
below freezing, special care is needed to prevent the
spa and accessories from being damaged by frost.
If you intend to use your spa in winter, you need
to ensure that the pump and heater are working
properly. The outside of the spa is insulated so
that it works efficiently in cold regions.
NOTE:
If you do not want to empty the spa and the
temperature is expected to be below freezing
for an extended period, it is a good idea to set
the heater to the highest temperature (40 °C),
especially if a power cut is possible. This
should prevent the water from freezing while
power is being restored.
If you do not want to use the spa during the
winter months, and there is a risk of frost, you
can get your spa ready for winter as follows:
1. Switch of the power supply to the spa.
2. Drain the spa and drainpipes according to
the instructions (page 23). Open all units and
remove the drainage plugs on the underside
of the pumps. If you are not able to remove
all the water (except for out of the pipes),
you can add anti-freeze to the remaining
water via the underside of the skimmer and
the jets. If you do this, the anti-freeze
product must contain a propylene glycol
with a delaying action.
NOTE:
Before filling your spa again, all anti-freeze
must be flushed out of the spa and pipes
according to the instructions for emptying
the spa (page 23). Check the chemical com-
ponents in the water carefully until all traces
of the anti-freeze agent have been removed.
3. Let the water flow through the filter and
remove and clean the filter element.
4. Check that the heater element housing
does not contain any water.
5. Clean your spa according to the instructions
in the following two sections.
6. Cover your spa with a water-repellent,
impenetrable covering.
7. Contact your supplier for more information
on emptying the pipes and procedures for
getting ready for winter.
Looking after and cleaning the inside of the spa
The surface of the spa is made from acrylic. In
terms of care and cleaning, the spa needs little
attention in order to stay looking new for years.
Use a special spa cleaning agent to remove the
build-up of residues and limescale on the inside
of the spa around the water line. To prevent the
water for getting dirty, you can lower the water
level by 5 to 7.5 cm before you start cleaning.
Apply the cleaning agent to a soft cloth and wipe
the acrylic surface clean. Use a non-abrasive,
household cleaning agent for the inside of the
spa, or a non-aggressive washing-up liquid.
Rinse well and dry with a dry cloth.
NOTE:
The acrylic surface must not come into contact
with products such as acetone (remover), nail
polish, dry cleaning solution, thinner, benzene,
pine oil, etc. Remove dirt and dried-on dirt
with a soft, damp cloth. Clean grease, oil, paint
and ink spots with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid
the use of razor blades or other sharp objects
that can damage the surface of the spa.
