Marquis Spas DESTINY Owner's Manual page 48

NOTE: During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment from
condensation within the equipment compartment. Failure to follow these
instructions during freezing conditions will result in cracked fitting(s) and glue
joints, and other damage.
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
2. Drain the spa. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA.)
3. Remove all residual water from the seating and footwell. If necessary, bail
out the remaining water then dry the spa with towels. A wet/dry vacuum is
recommended for best results.
4. Using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum nozzle over each jet nozzle to
remove water from plumbing lines, starting with the highest jet and finishing with
the lowest jet.
NOTE: The spa is equipped with a Tri-Zone or PowerShift control which is used
to divert water between different jet zones. The valve must be "open" to the
particular jets you are vacuuming.
5. Unscrew the pump plug(s) from the pump(s). (See STARTING YOUR SPA.)
6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place nozzle over the exposed pump
opening(s) to remove excess water. The pump(s) should be removed from
the spa and stored in a climate-controlled room.
7. Clean the spa interior.
8. Clean the filter cartridges.
9. Reinstall the spa cover and lock in place.
