Operating instructions

CLEARTECH UV WATER CARE SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
Your hot tub may be equipped with ClearTech. This unit
uses a specialized ultra violet light bulb which produces UV
light. Bacteria are destroyed as the water passes through
the tube and under this light. The UV bulb is rated at
15,000 hours. The glass sleeve covering the bulb should
be inspected and cleaned (if necessary) at each drain and
fill. For service or replacement, consult your Beachcomber
store.
HUSH PUMP™
The Hush Pump 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 ppm, 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 power off at the G.F.C.I. breaker or power
disconnect switch (do not use the standby feature).
2. Locate the black drain/fill valve found in behind the
door on a Portable model or under the step on the
Hybrid Edition.
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. To open, 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 the water to raise the sanitizer level. Leave
the hot tub Heatshield half open for 1 hour.
3. Lower the water temperature to the minimum setting
(optional).
4. Lock your Heatshield on the hot tub to maintain a safe
environment for pets or children. If you are in a high
wind area, install Hurricane Straps (available from your
local Beachcomber store) to secure the Heatshield to
your hot tub.
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 for
disinfectant will be low during this time.
