spa back on.

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
sudsing and/or you can no longer see the normal sparkle to the
water, 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
refilled.
If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could
occur in the lines or the equipment (see the section on "Win-
terizing"). If instead it is very warm, do not leave the spa
exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa.
Emptying the hot tub ( standard drain)

hose to an area where the water will drain properly.
8. Open the drain slice valve by sliding the handle to the side and
pulling up.
