open the valve and inward to close the valve.
After attaching a water hose to the drain valve,
1 1/2", remove the cap and attach a water hose. Push the drain inward 1/2" and
allow the spa to drain completely. Gently pull the valve outward, remove the
hose and replace the cap. Push the valve inward so it is flush with the frame.
Check to be sure no water is draining from the drain valve as you refill the spa.
The Spa Pump
pushes water through the plumbing lines into the jets. Pumps are
turned on and off by pressing the button(s) on the topside controls. The number
and speed of the pump varies by spa model.
The pump is designed to pump water, not air.
plumbing lines, air will be trapped in the spa preventing circulation of the water.
Letting your spa run if there is an air lock will damage the pump. Filling the spa
properly or "bleeding" the pump prior to powering the spa on will help prevent
air locks. If there is no water coming from the jets when the jets button is pushed
and you hear the pump "humming", it is likely you have an air lock and need to
bleed the pump.
To bleed the pump,
the bleed valve (thumb screw) on the base of the pump counter clockwise until
water trickles from the pump. When water begins to trickle, turn the bleed valve
counter clockwise to tighten. Do not over tighten. Do not use tools to turn the
bleed valve because it may break the screw.
The Slice Valves
service on the spa without draining the water from the spa. The slice valves are
placed in the plumbing lines near the pump(s). When the spa is serviced, the
lock is removed and the "T" stem is pushed down which creates a seal allowing
parts between the "T" stems to be serviced. When service is complete, the "T"
stems are raised and locked in the up position.
