MAINTAINING YOUR SPA

DRAINING YOUR SPA

Your spa needs to be drained, cleaned, waxed, and refilled about every
six months. More frequent water changes may be necessary if bather
load is heavy. A hose bib has been provided below the left side of your
front access panel, to assist you in draining your spa.
1) Turn off the power to your spa. If you fail to turn the power off, vital
components could be damaged. Do not
leave an empty spa exposed for long
periods of time in hot, sunny weather.
2) Attach your garden hose to the hose
bib.
3) Place the other end of the hose in an
area that will accept the water capacity
of your spa.
4) Open the hose bib by turning the
valve knob counter clockwise to the full stop position.
5) Check the garden hose end to see if water is flowing. If water is not
flowing, check the hose for kinks. Also check to see if valve is in the
full open position.
CAUTION: The chemical content and temperature of the water will
cause damage to certain vegetation. We do not recommend that
you drain your spa onto plants or lawns. If you choose to do this,
please remove your spa cover and allow spa to cool for a minimum
of 24 hours with the spa turned off.

PILLOW CARE

Remove and clean the pillows with soapy water and a soft cloth when
needed. Use a vinyl conditioner once a month. Remove pillows when
doing chemical shock treatment.
