HUSHPUMP™
The HushPump™ is a very quiet, low
amperage, high flow circulation and filtration
pump that looks after the filter and heating
functions of your hot tub. It comes set from the
factory to operate 24 hours a day.
Draining Your Beachcomber Hot Tub
Change three to four times a year or more if
bather load is high. To calculate the change
frequency, use the following formula.
# DAYS = 1/3 (VOLUME IN US GALLONS)
MAX # OF DAILY BATHERS
Before draining, check the sanitizer level. It
should not be above 1.0 to ensure no harm
is done to the surrounding environment. If
sanitizer level is high, use Beachcomber’s Neutr-
All as directed on the label.
1. Turn the power off at the G.F.C.I breaker or
Power disconnect switch
2. Locate the black drain/fill valve found in
behind the door on a Portable model or
under the step on the Protec model. See
Figure 12. Remove the safety cap from the
fitting threaded into the valve.
3 . Attach the female end of your garden hose and
place the other end at a level lower than the
drain/fill valve to ensure complete draining.
Turn the outer part of the drain/fill valve
counter clockwise to open and start the draining.
4. Draining time will vary from model to
model.
5. Once the hot tub is drained, disconnect the
garden hose and close the valve if you are
not going to fill the hot tub through the
valve. If you want to fill through this valve,
unscrew the threaded adapter and thread
in the male end of your garden hose, then
attach the female end to your tap and refill.
Vacation Instructions
If leaving your hot tub full and running while on
vacation for 3-5 days, do the following:
1. Check and adjust pH level if necessary.
2 . Shock-treat water to raise sanitizer level. Leave
the hot tub Heatshield half open for 1 hour.
3. Lower water temperature to minimum
setting (optional).
4. Lock your Heatshield on the hot tub to
maintain a safe environment for pets or
children. If in a high wind area, install
Hurricane Straps available from your local
Beachcomber dealership.
Upon returning do the following:
1. Check pH and sanitizer level and adjust if
necessary.
If leaving for 5-14 days and no one can come by to
maintain the hot tub do the following:
1. Lower the set temperature to 80ºF/26.5ºC.
Sanitizers may last longer in cooler water.
2. Check and adjust pH and Alkalinity level if
necessary.
3. Use either a Beachcomber floating tablet
dispenser or a Holiday Tender tablet
dispenser to automatically dispense either
Bromine Disc or Mini Disc in your hot tub
water to maintain water disinfection. Use the
low setting on these devices as the demand
