SERVICE NOTE: Never remove the filter standpipe. Debris may find its way into the internal plumbing which may result in
blockage. NEVER REMOVE SUCTION FITTINGS.
6. Always clean the filter using a filter degreaser to remove mineral and oil buildup. Simply soak the filter in the degreaser (according
to the degreaser 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.
7. To reinstall the filter cartridge, reverse the order of steps in which it was removed. Do not overtighten!
CARE OF THE EXTERIOR FINISH
SPA SHELL
Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. The only
products which have passed the manufacturer’s tests are Soft Scrub ® and Windex ® . Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be used
for minor surface cleaning. A soft rag or sponge should easily remove most dirt. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning
agent with fresh water.
Cleaning of the surface at the waterline to remove any body oil or “bathtub ring” can be done easily with baking soda and a soft
sponge. When your spa has been drained for cleaning, the use of a spa/tub surface cleaner is recommended to clean the spa shell. The
use of a soft rag or soft sponge should easily remove most dirt build-ups. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent
with fresh water. The use of a spa polish is recommended after the spa shell has been dried, to polish the surface.
The procedure to remove a light surface or burnish mark is quite simple. Apply paste wax or automobile rubbing compound to the
scratch and then mildly buff the area. This will return the original luster and shine to the marred spa shell surface.
SERVICE NOTES:
1. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your Solana ® Spa Dealer about a Stain and Scale
Inhibitor to use if your spa water has a high concentration of dissolved minerals.
2. The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT
use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. NEVER USE HARSH
CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals is not covered under the warranty.
3. Your Dealer may also stock products which can be used in your spa to help control “bathtub ring.”
