Water Level/Drain - Jacuzzi Platinum 2001 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

Water Level/Drain

The water level in the hot tub must be maintained at the normal level. Evaporation and splashing
will cause the water level to drop.
When concentrations of impurities from evaporation, water quality chemicals, body oils,
perfumes, dirty feet, and winds, etc., accumulate in the hot tub and cannot be filtered out, it is
necessary to drain your hot tub and refill it with fresh water. This should be done every two
months or more often depending on the amount of usage.
To drain the hot tub, turn OFF the circuit breakers at the main electrical panel. Connect a
garden hose to the drain valve. Open the valve and drain the hot tub.
After draining the hot tub, clean the hot tub shell, suction cover, skimmer, and filter(s). Close
the drain valve. Then refill the hot tub with fresh water. Check the pH level and maintain water
quality.

The suction cover located in the footwell area should be checked at least once a week for
collected debris, such as leaves, hair, etc., and cleaned as necessary. It may not be necessary
to remove the suction cover to clean it, but if you need to, remove the center screw with a
Phillips screwdriver and clean the cover by flushing with water from a hose.
CAUTION: Ensure replacement of the suction cover immediately after cleaning. It is a
safety device and must be in place over the suction fitting to minimize the potential
hazard of hair and body entrapment.
If heavy rains raise the hot tub water level, drain the hot tub to its normal level.
A hot tub cover (available as an option), when in place over the hot tub, will help reduce
evaporation and control the amount of debris entering the hot tub when the hot tub is not
occupied. In addition, its use will reduce energy consumption.
