Changing Spa Water
As you use your spa, soap and detergent residues from your
skin and bathing suits, along with other substances from
maintaining the spa’s water chemistry will accumulate in the
spa water and make maintaining the water more difcult.
Rinsing your bathing suits, and showering without soap, prior
to entering your spa will increase the life of your spa water.
Depending upon usage, the spa water will need to be
changed every 1-4 months or when the water chemical levels
become difcult to manage. When changing spa water,
remove all JetPaks
™
. Clean the JetPod
™
areas with a spa
surface cleaner. See Spa Shell Care. Clean the plumbing
areas on the back of the JetPaks with a spa surface cleaner
and a long, soft bristle brush.
IMPORTANT: Drain your spa to an area that can handle a
large quantity of water. If draining water onto vegetation,
make sure that the sanitizer level (Chlorine or Bromine
level) of the water is less than 0.5 PPM.
WARNING: Avoid drainage that can lead into basement
window wells.
To Drain Your Spa:
Step 1: Disconnect electrical power supply.
Step 2: Remove equipment compartment door.
Step 3: Locate the drain hose.
Step 4: Lift the drain hose higher than the water level in
the spa.
Step 5: Remove drain hose cap.
Step 6: Connect a garden hose to the drain hose.
Step 7: Lower to ground level and drain.
NOTE: For faster draining, you can purchase a
PowerDrain
™
from your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer. For
steps to drain the spa using the PowerDrain, please see
the PowerDrain product usage instructions that are
included with this accessory.
To Rell Your Spa:
WARNING: When relling the spa, always Super Sanitize
the new water by adhering to the instructions in the Water
Chemistry section.
Maintenance
Step 1: Remove garden hose from drain hose.
Step 2: Replace drain hose cap.
Step 3: To avoid air pockets in the pump(s), rell the spa
with water by placing the hose into the lter compartment
through the Weir door. Fill to the water level indication on
the faceplate of the lter assembly.
Step 4: Restore electrical power supply.
Step 5: Press any button to reset the control system.
Step 6: Reattach the equipment compartment door.
Step 7: Following instructions in Starting the Spa with New
Water.
IMPORTANT: Never ll the spa with soft water unless an
appropriate mineral supplement is immediately added. If
your water is extremely hard, it is preferable to either
dilute the water’s hardness by blending the water with
water from a water softener, or by the addition of a
special water softening chemical. For more information,
see your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
NOTE: The higher the water level in the spa, the fewer spa
users it will be able to handle.
