DRAINING AND REFILLING YOUR SPA
1. Turn off the GFCI breaker.
2. Remove spa / hot tub cover and allow water to cool down.
3. Select a safe, suitable drainage area capable of safely assimilating 300 plus
gallons of water that may contain unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue
that could cause harm to plants or grass.
4. Locate drain valve at front of the spa / hot tub (see page 15). Hold the rear body to
prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove the front cap.
5. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads and route the hose downhill to your
drainage area.
6. Twist the drain fitting 1/3 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve and pull it
outward to open completely. The water will drain by gravitational flow.
7. After the spa / hot tub drains, perform steps 3-5 in reverse order to close the drain
prior to refilling.
8. Attach the garden hose to a thoroughly-flushed pre-filter (not included, rinsed of all
residual sediment) and refill your spa / hot tub through the filtration canister.
9. After refilling, turn on the GFCI breaker to the spa / hot tub.
10. If the pump runs but no water flows, see page 41 to see how to bleed air from the
system.
FILTERS
The dual micro filters in your spa / hot tub should be removed and cleaned every week
with a high quality filter cleanser and typically replaced every 4-6 months (depending
upon use). You can clean your filters with the water pressure from the end of a garden
hose then rinsed with warm water. This ensures that the water is being filtered
properly.
DO NOT USE BLEACH. We recommend having replacement filters on hand that can
be swapped between cleanings. Doing so enables you to quickly exchange the dirty
filters with the clean ones and immediately start your spa / hot tub again. Call your
local dealer to order replacement filters and filter cleaner.
