EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Draining and Filling the Spa
The average spa needs to be drained every three to
four months. After months of continually adding
chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and
lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and
chemicals are not as effective as usual. You may also
notice excessive foaming. More frequent draining
may be required depending on use.
1. Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of
water leakage around the pump(s). Pump seals
wear out over time, especially with improper water
chemistry. Early detection of pump seal failure can
significantly reduce repair costs.
2. Ozonator Operation
The ozonator functions whenever the system is
running on filter or cleanup cycles. Check to see if
the bulb is lighted. (See SPA CONTROL OPERA-
TION.) Ozonator end caps glow if functioning
properly. If not, the bulb has burned out. Contact
dealer for service.
3. Draining the Spa Using the External Drain
and Fill Connection
A. Turn off the power to the spa.
B. Remove the hose bib plug from the external
drain and fill connection and attach a hose.
C. Open the drain valve in the equipment
compartment. (See EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM.)
Gravity causes the water to drain out of
the hose.
D. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve
and remove the hose. Reinstall the hose
bib plug.
NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times
except when draining the spa (do not rely on the
cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could
result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing
water.
Replacing the Spa Frog Mineral Cartridge
This cartridge should be replaced every four months.
You may still feel the "spent" minerals inside, but they
are no longer effective and need to be replaced. See
ADJUSTING THE SPA FROG
Mineral Cartridge.
