You may need to wipe down the shell with a soft cloth. Please read and follow the start-up instructions to ensure a successful start-up or refill.

S Spa Car e and Maintenance General Information Your Saratoga Spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available today. We recommend that a spa maintenance program be followed. The care you take will ultimately determine how long your spa or its individual components will last. This section will help you maintain your investment. DRAINING THE WATER It is recommended that you completely drain your spa every three to four months.
Filter Cartridge Removal and Cleaning 1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by tripping the RCI breaker at the spa. 2. Remove and carefully set aside the filter compartment cover. 3. Remove any floating items from within the filter compartment. 4. Grasp the top of the filter cartridge and turn the cartridge counter clockwise until it is free from the base retainer. Leave screen adapter in place. 5. Place the cartridge on a clean surface and spray with a garden hose.
WOOD SKIRT A good quality wood sealer or natural color wood oil should be applied on the wood skirt twice a year to keep your spa skirt looking as good as new. Your Saratoga Spa dealer may stock original factory finish or recommend another sealer that is available in your area. Note: Discoloration of the wood spa skirt is considered natural and is not covered by the spa surface warranty. WEATHER ALL SKIRT The Weather All skirt combines the durability of plastic with the look of professionally finished wood.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA If you chose not to use your Saratoga Spa during the winter is it recommended to properly winterize your spa. Any damage occurring due to accidental freezing of the spa is not covered under warranty. The following steps are designed to protect your spa from freezing if followed. For ultimate protection against freeze damage to your spa, contact your local Saratoga Dealer to schedule a winterizing service plan. 1. Turn power off to the spa. Trip RCI breaker. 2. Unscrew panel screws.
W Water Quality Maintenance GENERAL INFORMATION As the owner of a spa, endless hours of entertainment, recreation, and relaxation await you. Caring for your spa will become a routine and pleasant part of your daily activities.You will be able to maintain your spa water and keep your spa equipment in excellent condition. To do so you first must balance your spa’s water. BALANCED WATER Balanced water ensures spa bathers’ safety as well as protecting the spa heater and components from corrosion.
Example: At low total alkalinity levels, the water’s pH easily drifts, making frequent pH adjustments necessary and more chemical treatment expense. On the other hand, a high total alkalinity level keeps the waters pH rigidly fixed. If pH adjustment is necessary, you will need unusually large amounts of treatment chemicals to change the water’s pH. RECOMMENDED RANGE - 80 to 120 PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) POTENTIAL PROBLEMS: 1. pH difficult to maintain. If total alkalinity is too low, pH will drift. 2.
Non-Chlorine type shock will oxidize or destroy most of the organic contaminants that result from bather load. This quick acting oxidizing shock treatment goes to work almost immediately improving water quality and eliminating irritating wastes and odor. This product is intended to be a shock treatment only, and is not a disinfectant.
