Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining); Spa Cover - Cal Spas Home Resort Z-524L Owner's Manual

Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have
your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help
reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa's equipment.
Warning: If you find the need to drain your spa, be aware of the potential of freezing in your
spas equipment and plumbing . Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no
guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage . Freeze damage is not covered by your
warranty .
All manifolds are plumbed in series directly to the main drain
(see figure at right), making it easier to remove water and
reducing the possibility of freeze damage.
1. Open all filter covers.
2. Remove the filter baskets and filters.
3. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions
above.
4. Vacuum water from the spa's main drain fitting with a wet/
dry vacuum.
5. Open the bleeder valves on the pumps.
6. Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.
7. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area with the wet/dry vacuum.
8. When it has completely finished draining, retighten the nut. Close the bleeder valves and re-connect the
unions on the pumps. Replace the filter baskets and filters.
9. Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters
the spa.

Spa Cover

Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
• Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.
• Covering your spa will protect your spa's finish from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
• You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.
• Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.
See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.
In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place
objects of any kind on top of it.
