Draining And Refilling - Jacuzzi SWIMSPA Series Owner's Manual

12.2 Draining and Refilling

About every 3 months, you will want to replace the swim spa's water. The frequency de-
pends on a number of variables including the amount of use, number of users, attention
paid to water quality maintenance etc. During this time, it is also recommended that you
clean the internal plumbing lines from buildup and debris.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to the swim spa compo-
nents, turn off power to the swim spa at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn
the power back on until your swim spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your swim spa. If
it is extremely cold, and the swim spa in outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the
equipment (see WINTERIZING). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the
swim spa's surface exposed to direct sunlight.
