Draining Your Portable Spa - Cal Spas Patio Owner's Manual

Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months for cleaning and maintenance and refilled with fresh tap water. See
page 39 for instructions on cleaning the shell, cover, and pillows. See page 5 for instructions on refilling your spa. Before you
begin, turn off power to the spa at the breaker and remove all filters.
1. Locate your drain.
For spas with drain inside the spa
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the
access panel and open it. Locate hose ending with the ¾
inch hose-bib fixture as shown below.
2. Remove the cap.
Make sure the valve is in the closed position, then unscrew and remove the cap. Unscrew the cap.

Attach a garden hose to the hose-bib fixture. Place the other
end of the garden hose where you would like the water to
drain.
4. Drain the spa.
Turn the valve on the hose-bib fixture to open the drain.
When the spa has drained completely, turn the valve on the
hose-bib fixture, remove garden hose, and replace the cap.
