b) BELLAFONTANA water feature, if applicable (plug 2 openings and

use the shop vac to pull water from the 3rd opening).

c) Filter compartment and MOTO-MASSAGE DX niche, if applicable

(removal of the faceplate may be necessary).

d) Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate tightly

with a rag when vacuuming the main drain and secondary freeze

drain outlets to ensure water is drawn completely from the internal

plumbing system).

e) Secondary drain outlet and allow it to draw any remaining water from

the spa’s bleedlines (approximately 3 to 5 minutes).

6. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.

7. Replace the main and secondary drain caps.

DANGER: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze. This is

non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it

is toxic!

8. Using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes, filter

suction fittings, jet orifices and BELLA FONTANA orifices.

Add enough anti-freeze to ensure adequate protection – in many cases,

you will see the liquid in the orifice, or coming out of another location.

Re-install the filter standpipes if removed.

9. Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. Cover the spa

cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of

snow and ice. Secure a plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover and

plywood.

10. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. Open the spa cover by unfastening

the cover tie downs.

2. Open drain to remove anti-freeze. Replace drain cap.

3. Follow the Start-up Procedures in the Quick Start-Up instructions

section of the Owner’s Manual. Do not install filters to prevent them

from exposure to the anti-freeze.

4. As part of this process, superchlorinate the spa water by adding three

teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons of spa water

into the filter compartment. This is twice the normal amount of chlorine

needed for superclorination. This extra amount of chlorine is needed

to destroy the anti-freeze. A defoamer may be needed to decrease the

amount of foam caused by the anti-freeze.

5. Drain your spa to ensure removal of anti-freeze. Do not drain water on

grass or plants due to excessive chlorine level.

6. After the spa has completely drained, re-install your filters and follow

the Start-up Procedures in the Quick Start-Up instructions of the

Owner’s Manual.

IMPORTANT: Always keep spa covered when not in use, whether it is

empty or full.

FILTER SYSTEM

HOT SPRING spas are equipped with balanced filtration, meaning

that the filter cartridges are sized to meet the needs of the jet pump

system. Additionally, a separate filter is dedicated to serving the 24-hour

circulation system.

As with any water filtering system, the filter cartridges may become

clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. It is important to maintain a

clean, unobstructed filtering system. This not only provides the maximum

performance from the jets, but allows the 24 hour filtration system to

function effectively. Rotating the placement of the filter cartridges within

the filter compartment after each cleaning will help to extend their

service life.

IMPORTANT: 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 are

required. Failure to maintain the cartridges in a clean, unobstructed

manner will result in reduced water flow through the heater assembly

that may cause the High-Limit Thermostat, Heater Thermal Cut-off or

Circulation Pump Thermal Cut-off to trip. If this high-limit or thermal cut-

off trip occurs during

sub-freezing temperatures and goes unnoticed, the

spa water may freeze. Any damage to the spa (due to freezing) caused

as a result

of poor maintenance (stated under misuse or abuse in the HOT

SPRING spa Limited Warranty), will not be covered by your spa warranty.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to persons using the spa,

DO NOT remove the suction fittings (filter standpipes) located in the filter

compartment and do not sit on the filter lid, in extreme cases the lid

could crack and break. This occurrence is considered abuse and is not

covered under warranty.

FILTER CARTRIDGES

REMOVAL & CLEANING

1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by tripping both of the GFCI

breakers located in the subpanel. Unplug power cord for 115V models.

2. Remove and carefully set aside the filter compartment cover.

3. Remove any floating items from within the filter compartment.

4. Turn the filter retainer handle (located on the top of the filter cartridge)

counterclockwise until the retainer can be removed from the filter

standpipe.

5. Remove the filter retainer and cartridge.

IMPORTANT: Never remove the filter standpipes when debris is

present in the filter compartment. Debris may find its way into the

internal plumbing which may result in blockage. NEVER REMOVE

SUCTION FITTINGS.

6. Always clean standard filter using a filter degreaser, such as

FRESHWATER Filter Cleaner, to remove mineral and oil buildup.

Simply soak the filter in the degreaser according to the package

directions, then place the filter on a clean surface and spray until clean

using a garden hose. It may be necessary to rotate the filter while

spraying to remove any debris lodged between the filter pleats. The

Tri-X

filter can be cleaned in the dishwasher using no soap and no dry

cycle. Please contact your HOT SPRING dealer for details.

7. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it was

removed. Do not overtighten!

WARNING: Do not use the spa with the filter cartridges, or filter

standpipe(s) removed!

CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS

The spa pillows 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. The pillows can be conditioned with HOT

SPRING Cover Shield after cleaning. 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 spa use.
