Draining Your Spa
Your spa should be drained every four to six months,
and refilled with fresh tap water. The following is the
recommended method for draining your spa.
1.
Turn off the power at the breaker.
Remove all filters.
2.
3.
Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the
drain fitting (if equipped).
4.
Place the other end of the garden hose where you
would like the water to drain to.
5.
Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose
and refill.
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,
please 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 and thereby void the
warranty coverage.
Open all filter covers.
1.
Remove the filter baskets and filters.
2.
3.
Drain your spa completely as described in the
instructions above.
4.
Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.
5.
Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.
6.
Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining water
out of the jets and equipment area.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather
tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.
