DRAINING YOUR SPA

KNOWING WHEN TO DRAIN
Dissolved solids from bather load and ongoing chemical treatment accumulate in your spa water. The
early sign of a high level of dissolved solids is unmanageable cloudy water.
HOW TO DRAIN YOUR SPA
1) Turn down the set point on your spa and allow adequate time for the water to cool down. Uncover
and run high speed pump to speed up cooling.
2) Turn power off to your spa.
3) Attach the appropriate size hose to the drain connection (see below).
4) Route the hose to an appropriate drain location.
5) When the drain is opened the spa will gravity drain, even unattended.
6) As draining proceeds, move water from contours of seats, into the footwell. Draining will stop due
to drain height.
7) Remove any remaining water with a shop vac, sponge and pail or simply dilute in your fresh fill.
8) Before refilling, clean spa surface as necessary.
9) Don't forget to close the drain before refilling.
If you want to speed up the draining process, simply use a submersible

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

Hose Drain (Most Models)
Located in the equipment area, the flexible hose drain
easily connects to a standard garden hose. After
routing the garden hose to a suitable drain
location, turn off the spa, then turn the valve
handle to open the valve and start draining.
Push/Pull Drain Valve (Paragon Models)
This E-Z drain is located through the base kicker,
often in the corner and on the equipment side of the
spa.
1. Using the center pull tab, pull the drain internal
forward.
2. Remove the cap, thread on your garden hose and
route it to an appropriate drain location.
3. Pull on the hose end at the drain to open the
internal drain. The spa will now gravity drain.
