A programmable “Please Check Filter”  

reminder appears on the control panel 

display after a specified number days to 

remind you to clean the skimmer filter and to 

check the polishing bag filter. This reminder 

must be reset at each filter cleaning interval. 

Refer to Section 12.3 (page 56) for additional 

information and programming details. Your new spa is equipped with an 

advanced 2-stage filtration system. Fine debris are filtered by the 

circulation pump drawing water through the ProClear™ skimmer and 

pleated filter cartridge 12 hours (unless programmed otherwise). Large 

debris are filtered when either jets pump is running when the spa is in 

use or during a programmed filter cycle. These pumps draw water from 

footwell suction fitting and through a secondary water polishing bag filter 

and additional filter. The exclusive footwell “sweeper” suction fitting 

enhances filtration in the footwell area by creating a “swirling” water 

motion to maximize particle agitation and pickup.

To ensure optimum performance, the ProClear II 

skimming filter cartridge (A) must be cleaned every 

three months and replaced once a year. The secondary 

ProClear Plus polishing filter bag (B) should be emptied 

weekly and replaced every 3 months. The ProClear II 

filter cartridge (C) must be cleaned every three months 

and replaced once a year. To accomplish this, refer to the 

following filter cleaning procedure.

note: Do not attempt to wash the polishing filter bag (B) 

or it will come apart!

1.  Remove power to the hot tub before removing the skimmer
