Draining and refilling

About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the water
in the spa. Frequency of water replacement depends on fre-
quency of use, care taken in maintaining water quality, etc.
You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control
suds and/or you can no longer see the normal sparkle to the wa-
ter, even though the key water balance measurements are all
within the proper parameters.
WARNING! Turn off power to spa before draining it. Do
not turn the power back on until your spa has been re-
filled.
If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could
occur in the pipes of the hydraulic system (see the section on
"Winterizing").
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa.
2. 2.
3. 3.
4. 4.
5. 5.
2. Locate the drain valve on the front lower plastic pan. Hold the
larger (rear) body to prevent it from turning, then loosen and re-
move the cap.
3. Connect a garden hose.
4. Rotate the rear valve body 1/3 turn counter clockwise to un-
lock the drain valve.
5. Pull the larger (rear) body outward to open drain.
6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in reverse order to
close the drain prior to refilling the spa.
7. After refilling,turn on power to the spa and follow the steps
listed under "Start-up instructions"
N.B.: Always fill your spa through both filter fittings.
Keep your spa clean
To preserve the sheen of your spa's surface, it is crucial that
you avoid using abrasive cleaners or cleaners which have ad-
verse effects on the surface.
Regardless of the cleanser used, use extreme care to assure
that no soap residue is left on the surface. This could cause
suds when the spa is refilled.
Headrest Care
Remove and clean the headrest cushions as needed with soapy
water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush.
N.B.: Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock
treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be returned to the s-
pa when the sanitizer reading drops below 4 ppm.
To remove the headrests:
1. Grasp center pillow insert (A) with finger tips and gently pry
outward from pillow base (C).
2. Use a standard screwdriver to loosen and remove mounting
bolts (B) from pillow base.
3. Assemble in reverse order after cleaning, taking care not to
over tighten.
Maintaining the cover
Using the insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and main-
tenance requirements.
To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it
regularly using mild soap and water.
N.B.: Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover.
