Cleaning The Spa

You'll enjoy your spa more if you keep it clean. Cleaning a spa is a snap and requires only about 10 minutes each week.

Tools of the trade include a good nylon brush and a spa vacuum.

Clean the Surface of the Spa

Use a mixture of bleach and water and wipe the entire surface area. Use one cup of bleach to one bucket of water. Rinse the surface with clean water.


Empty The Baskets

Turn off the pump. Simply remove and empty the baskets in the skimmer and pump. Replace the baskets, make sure the pump lid is secured tightly and turn on the pump.


Vacuum The Spa

A spa vacuum attached to a garden hose will lift that sand or debris right out of the bottom of your spa. It takes only a few moments and keeps your spa looking great.


Drain the Spa

It is recommended to drain and replace your spa water every three to four months. It's easy to do.

All portable spas are gravity drained. Don't drain the water onto your lawn or plants unless all the sanitizer has dissipated from the spa water. (Leaving the spa cover off and exposing the water to direct sunlight will dissipate the sanitizer very quickly).

Once the spa is drained, use the same procedure as "Clean the Surface of the Spa" to wipe down the entire spa surface.
