6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
7. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
16). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and
heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
8. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump (if equipped) intake
behind the control box (Figure A, page 16) and pull the hose off
(twist hose back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and
allow to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEARRAY® system and pull hose
off of CLEARRAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling
downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then reinstall hose
and clamp. Remove the cover of the CLEARRAY system to access
the UV bulb and quartz tube. Remove and store the UV bulb in a
safe location. Remove and dry off the quartz tube then reinstall it.
Depending on the length of time, consider replacing the UV bulb
when you resume use of your hot tub.
10. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.

Restarting Your Spa in Cold Weather

If you want to start up your spa after it has sat empty for a time in
freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain
sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water
flow preventing the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging
the equipment. We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi
dealer for guidance before attempting to restart your spa under these
conditions.

Water Quality Maintenance

To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality
within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong
the life of the hot tub's equipment. Doing so requires regular attention
because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and
potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your
hot tub investment. For specific guidance on maintaining water quality,
consult your Authorized Jacuzzi dealer who can recommend appropriate
chemical products for sanitizing and maintaining your hot tub.
