CLEANING YOUR FILTER
Cleaning the Filter Basket:
1. Put the spa in "Standby Mode". This will prevent the
pump from activating while cleaning the basket. (See
"Standby Mode" under "OPERATION" in this Owner's
Manual.)
2. Remove skimmer and attached basket (Fig.V). Turn
counter clockwise and carefully align flats. If aligned
properly, unit should easily lift out in one piece. DO
NOT FORCE.
3. Separate basket from skimmer basket adapter by
spreading boss on basket away from adapter wall (Fig.
W).
4. Clean the basket. Avoid hitting basket against
objects to knock debris loose as this can break
basket.
5. Reattach basket to skimmer adapter. Slip notch of
basket adapter under boss of basket on one side.
Snap other side into place. (See illustration)
6. Reinsert skimmer with basket and turn clockwise to
lock into position .
7. Press any button on the control pad to reset the
control system.
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge:
It is recommended that your Filter Cartridge be
cleaned every 3 to 6 weeks or as needed. Replace the
Filter Cartridge approximately every two years or
when necessary. To maintain warranty protection, use
only Bullfrog Filter Cartridge replacements.
1. Put the spa in "Standby Mode". This will prevent the
pump from activating while cleaning the cartridge.
(See “Standby Mode” under "OPERATION" in this
Owner's Manual.)
2. Remove skimmer and basket.
3. Grasp cartridge and lift out. With a garden hose and
nozzle or other high pressure device, hose cartridge
clean with jet stream of water. Work top to bottom on
each pleat. To remove collected suntan lotions and
body oils that hosing will not remove; soak cartridge
in warm water with a FILTER CLEANER or detergent
added. To remove calcium deposits (a white chalky
material) soak cartridge in a one part muriatic acid to
ten parts water solution. USE A PLASTIC CONTAINER
ONLY. Calcium deposits indicate a high spa pH, which
should be corrected.
5. CAUTION: Using a brush to clean cartridge could
damage it. Commercially available cartridge cleaners
may be used and can be obtained from your
authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer.
6. Reinstall cartridge, basket and skimmer.
7. Press any button on the control pad to reset the
control system.
