MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Removing Debris
Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction
guard(s) on the inside of the spa. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of
water through the jetting system.
2. Water Level
Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds
up the Vortex skimmer opening. (See STARTING YOUR SPA.) Low and
high water levels can damage your spa. It is important to check your water
level often.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Filter Care
We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water
filtration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent
your chemicals from working properly. Dirty filters can also cause low flow
from jets, poor water clarity and sensors to activate error codes. It is
important to clean filters regularly. Many water treatment products clear or
clarify the water by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so
that these larger particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter
clogged with debris and calcium deposits does not trap particles properly.
Soak your filter cartridges in Filter Cleaner monthly.
The Maintenance Reminder on the spa-side Control Panel indicates a CL
every 30 days to remind you to clean your filter.
Removing the Filter
Turn the RCD power off to the spa. Grasp the edge of the Vortex skimmer
lid or Waterfall, pull up firmly, but gently, to remove it.
Turn the filter cartridge counterclockwise to unscrew it from its base. Lift out
the filter cartridge.
Use a hose to clean the filter cartridge and Filter Cleaner to soak the filters.
NOTE: Keep an extra set of filters on hand so you always have a clean set
ready for immediate spa enjoyment. Remember to replace the filter
cartridges at least once a year.
Reinstalling the Filter
Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not over tighten the filter as it may cause
the threads on the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in place. When
replacing the Waterfall, center the top over the raised filter ring and press down
firmly until the top snaps into place. (See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS,
Filter Cartridges.)
CAUTION: Over-tightening of the filter can cause the filter or filter housing to
crack. Tighten filter until it is just snug.
NOTE: Filters and filter lids do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can
be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas
®
dealer.
Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of water leakage around the
pump(s). Pump seals wear out over time, especially with improper water
chemistry. Pump seals, heater gaskets and pump gaskets must be checked each
month to ensure they are not leaking. Further damage caused by a leak from
any component is not covered under the warranty.
EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Draining and Filling the Spa
On average, a spa needs to be drained every three to four months. After months
of continually adding chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and
lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and chemicals are not as effective
as usual. You may also notice excessive foaming. More frequent draining may be
required depending on use.
Draining the Spa
A. Turn off the power to the spa.
B. Open the equipment compartment (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM).
Remove the hose bib cap from the connection and attach a hose.
C. Open the drain valve. Gravity causes the water to drain out of the hose.
D. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve and remove the hose.
Reinstall the hose bib plug.
NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times except when draining the
spa (do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could
result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.
Ozonator Operation
Clean the ozone injector and fitting every six months. A mineral build up may
clog the ozone injector, causing a lack of flow or low flow of ozone. To prevent
this, perform the following:
A. Disconnect power to the spa.
B. Open the equipment compartment.
C. Locate the ozonator in the equipment compartment (see spa
equipment diagrams) and unplug the ozonator from the control box.
D. Place 0.47 litres of white vinegar (white vinegar will not damage the
spa components) into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the
container on the equipment compartment floor.
E. Carefully loosen the long clear tube to the bottom of the ozonator. A
liquid substance may be found inside the tubing. If it is present, be
certain not to come into contact with the liquid.
F. WARNING: Nitric acid accumulates in the air lines of the ozonator
and injector. Nitric acid will cause severe chemical burns if direct
skin contact is made, so always wear protective gloves, glasses
and clothing when working on the ozonator or injector lines. To
prevent inhalation or ingestion of the nitric acid, DO NOT blow or
inhale with your mouth to any of the adapters, fittings or tubing of
the ozonator or injector air lines.
G. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the
end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.
H. Reconnect power to the spa.
I. Run the spa until all of the vinegar is gone. This should allow an ample
flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage.
J. Disconnect power to the spa.
K. Remove the empty cup or bucket.
L. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.
M. Plug the ozonator into the control box.
N. Close the equipment compartment door.
O. Reconnect power to the spa.
Replacing the Spa Frog
®
Mineral Cartridge
This cartridge should be replaced every three to four months. You may still feel the
“spent” minerals inside, but they are no longer effective and need to be replaced.
(See ADJUST THE MINERAL CARTRIDGES, Blue Mineral Cartridge.)
Clean the DuraShell
®
Interior
Once the spa is drained, clean the DuraShell
®
interior thoroughly especially at
the water line. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.
