Care for the Aquatic Fitness System Cover
The thermal cover for your Aquatic Fitness System is an extremely durable foam insulated product. See
the manufacturer's literature for proper cleaning instructions. When the Aquatic Fitness System is not in
use, it is recommended that the cover tie downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised children and
minimize heat loss. Small locks are also available for the cover tie downs. In either case, these locking
methods are not considered adequate to keep unauthorized people from entering the Aquatic Fitness
System.
Special Cold Weather Instructions
Since your Aquatic Fitness System is foam insulated and has automatic freeze protection, Winter can be
one of the best times of the year to enjoy the warmth of your Aquatic Fitness System. Because it is very
difficult to get all the water out of the plumbing lines, we do not recommend draining your Aquatic Fitness
System for the winter. However, if you must shut down your Aquatic Fitness System during the winter,
we recommend you winterize it as follows:
•
If you decide to drain the Aquatic Fitness System, drain it as completely as possible. Use a wet-
vac and a high-pressure blower to evacuate as much water as possible. It is important to get as much
water out of the plumbing lines and equipment as possible.
•
When the Aquatic Fitness System is completely drained, leave the hose bib open and open all of
the pump drain valves located on the bottom front side of each pump. Also, loosen all pump unions
and fittings to allow air and water to expand freely within the system. This will help prevent water-
freezing expansion from damaging pipes and fittings. The key is to eliminate any sealed areas in the
systems that may contain water.
•
As an additional precaution against freezing, you may purchase non-toxic swimming pool anti-freeze
solution from your Authorized Aquatic Fitness System dealer. Instructions on its use are available
from your Aquatic Fitness System dealer.
•
If you receive heavy snowfall during winter months, you may want to build a cover cap for the
Aquatic Fitness System cover. This can be done with ¾" thick plywood and a few supporting 2"
x 4" cross members.
Your Aquatic Fitness System is equipped with automatic freeze protection. However, power
outages can cause your Aquatic Fitness System equipment system to freeze quickly. During
freezing conditions, check your Aquatic Fitness System frequently to ensure proper
operation. Always check your Aquatic Fitness System after any power failure to ensure that it
is operational. Draining and not operating your Aquatic Fitness System disables this feature.
For additional information about winterizing your Aquatic Fitness System, contact your local Aquatic
Fitness System dealer.
