Spa Care Guide Daily, Weekly, Monthly & More
Spa Start Up and Every 3-4 Months Drain and refill your spa. Do this a minimum of 3 to 4 times per year or more often with strong usage.
Everyday Run the pump and filter system a minimum of 6-12 hours daily. This can be set automatically in most spas as per owner's manual. Observe the water quality it should be crystal clear with no offensive odors.
After Each Use Close air controls to minimize chemical dispersion.  Close cover to prevent water exposure to elements.
As Needed Check water level to ensure proper fill depth.  This is 2-3 inches above the top of the spa filter. Improper fill depth could lead to improper circulation.
Once Per Month Rinse off filter cartridge with high pressure hose (strong water spray).  Occasionally, soak the filter in a filter cleaner/degreaser product for 8-12 hours, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Do not use the spa without the filter.
Twice Per Year Protect your wooden spa cabinet by applying "Duckback®" brand stain. For synthetic cabinets use 303 Protectant®.  This cleaner may also may be used to clean your vinyl spa cover.  Do not use Armor All®.  Do not use products that contain ammonia (such as Windex) because use of ammonia may damage spa finish.  To prevent cracks, polish/clean spa finish with approved spa products only.
