Recovery Room Cleaning & Maintenance

Open the drain box in the recovery room and remove any hair or debris Take it outside and hose it down completely Do the same for the drain box in the shower Reinstall both drain boxes before starting anything else

Important: If these are clogged when you drain the cold plunge, the platform will overflow.

Unplug the cold plunge from the wall Wheel the cold plunge out to give yourself room to work Turn the inlet and outlet valves OFF (turn clockwise) Remove the cold plunge cover Unplug the drop-in filter (2 plugs), pull it out, and set it in the shower to drain Vacuum the bottom with the pool vac: Submerge the vac fully and let all air bubbles release Turn dial from 0 to 1 to turn on (only after fully submerged) Vacuum the bottom, under the step, and on top of the step Turn dial from 1 to 0 to turn off Remove and place in shower to drain Skim the top and middle of the water and remove any visible debris or hair Open the drain valve: turn counterclockwise until the blue handle is parallel with the hose Confirm water is flowing out of the drain hose Now go complete Steps 3 to 5 while the cold plunge drains (takes about 1 to 1.5 hours)

Filter 1: cartridge filter (replaceable)

Remove the condensation sleeve from Filter 1 Use the filter removal tool: insert on bottom and twist to loosen Pour old water down the drain, discard the old cartridge Wipe out the housing with a rag Insert the new cartridge into filter housing (either direction works) Screw the housing back on, leaving it slightly loose for now

Important: Do not fully tighten yet. The cartridge must fill with water once the plunge is refilled and running before you fully tighten.

Filter 2: mesh filter (clean and reuse)

Remove the condensation sleeve from Filter 2 Loosen and remove the filter housing Pour old water down the drain Pop the mesh filter out Take the filter outside and hose it down thoroughly inside Reinstall the filter: sharp flat edge goes UP, rounded edge goes DOWN Press up and in until it seats under the cold plunge Place the bucket back underneath and screw the housing on, leaving it slightly loose for now

Important: Do not fully tighten yet. The cartridge must fill with water once the plunge is refilled and running before you fully tighten.

Take the mop bucket outside and pour out the old water Scrub the inside of the bucket Fill with fresh water Add 1 to 2 oz of Blue EcoLab floor cleaner. Water should turn bright pink Replace the mop head if it looks dirty: Velcro off the old mop head Slide new mop head's 3 tabs into the 3 slots at the top Press down. The rest attaches with Velcro When placing mop in bucket, orient per the arrow on the mop head

Replace water every 2 weeks or when the pink color fades, whichever is first. Replace the mop head roughly once a month or once every 6 weeks.

Sauna heater: turn on to dry (1 hour)

Turn the dial until you hear a click (orange light = on) Keep turning until you hear a second click (off), then turn back slightly. It's now set for a full 1-hour run Fill the sauna water bucket using the carbon filter hose (same water used to fill cold plunge)

Attach the carbon filter to the hose Run water through the filter into floor drain 20 seconds before putting the hose in the tub Leave the drain open, rinse the tub with the hose, let it drain Scrub the waterline, seat, and bottom with the scrub brush Push any remaining water to the center drain Close the drain valve: turn clockwise (blue handle) Place hose in tub and begin filling As water fills, skim any remaining debris from the bottom Fill sauna water bucket from carbon filter at the same time While filling (takes about 30 min), mop all floors and clean the shower Plug the pool vac back in to charge (red light = charging) Fill tub to 3 to 4 inches above the top inlet hole, then turn off hose Set hose by floor drain to empty out

Open inlet and outlet valves: turn counterclockwise Watch small filter housing. Once water fills to the top, hand tighten Watch large filter housing. Once water fills to the top, hand tighten, then use the tool to fully tighten Place condensation sleeves back over both filter housings Open the remaining valve (counterclockwise)
