Winter Operation Information
All Beachcomber Hot Tubs have built in freeze
protection for their equipment. If your hot
tub is not HushPump™ equipped, the freeze
protection will activate the pump(s) high speed
for approximately 2 minutes if a temperature
of 50˚F/10˚C or below is detected at the heater
housing. If your hot tub is HushPump™
equipped, the only time freeze protection will
activate is if the hot tub is left in standby mode
long enough to allow water at the heater to
reach 50˚F/10˚C or if your hot tub is filled with
water that is 50˚F/10˚C or lower. There is also a
small water line that runs from pump to pump
that assists in the freeze protection by increasing
circulation.
WINTER PRECAUTIONS
If your equipment is not working during
freezing temperatures you should first try to
contact your local Beachcomber dealership.
Some stores have an emergency number for
winter. If you cannot contact your dealership,
call Beachcomber North American Customer
Care at 1-800-663-6557 from 8:00 - 4:30 PST.
To prevent damage caused by the equipment
freezing, place a small space heater or trouble
light down by the equipment. Position the
heater or light so that it does not melt or come
in contact with plastic parts, to avoid equipment
damage. You can also block off the step or door
vent to keep in the heat but it must be removed
once the freezing weather is no longer present.
In the event of a prolonged power outage, first
shut off the power at the main panel. Close the
knife valves (see figure 4) to keep the hot water
in the hot tub, and remove the drain plugs or
pull out one of the small braided hoses on the
front of the pumps to drain all the water from
the external plumbing lines and the pumps.
Shutdown Procedures
Beachcomber encourages the use of your hot
tub year round, but if you prefer not to use
your hot tub for periods longer than 14 days,
you need to do a proper shut down.
Do the following:
1. Drain the hot tub as outlined in this Guide.
2. Unscrew all union nuts on the front of the
pump(s) to allow any water in the external
lines to drain out. Retain the gaskets found at
these locations, along with the equipment.
3. Locate and remove the small black slotted
drain plugs found on the front of the
pump(s) below the union nuts from step
2. or remove the small braided hose from
the barbed fitting on the front of the
HushPump™.
