To adjust the jet’s flow rate, rotate the jet’s outer faceplate about 1/4 turn counterclockwise to increase the flow or clockwise to decrease the flow. (DO NOT FORCE)
	SUCTION FITTINGS Keeping the suction fitting covers clean and clear of all obstructions is critical in order to have a safe operation of the spa. See the safety instructions rules for details.(page 1)

	To Clean the Cartridge: 1. Turn Spa Off. 2. Remove the filter cover. 3. Turn cartridge counterclockwise and pull up. 4. Remove the cartridge element and thoroughly rinse with a garden hose until element is free from dirt and debris. 5. Return the cartridge to the filter well by following steps 1 - 4 in reverse order.
	AIR INJECTION VENTURI ADJUSTMENT Air injection into the massage jet water flow may be controlled by manipulation of the venturi dials located on either side of the spa. Each dial is independent and controls up to 5 jets respectively.
