MAINTENANCE
SPA DRAINING
Every 3 to 4 months, depending upon water condition, you may
need to r
enew the spa water. To drain your spa, power must be
disconnected at the circuit breaker. Locate the drain faucet within
the equipment access compartment. Attach a garden hose to the
faucet and then open it. Water will start draining. The drain spigot
will not remove all of the water in the spa. You may have to remove
a small amount of water by hand.
SPA SURFACE CARE
Do not use abrasive solvents or cleaners to clean spa surfaces.
Consult your Viking Spa Retailer for the proper cleaners and deter-
gents.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (90 days or more)
If you are not going to use your spa for an extended period of time, drain
it as described above. You will also have to drain the pump. Water left in
the spa during long-term storage may cause freeze damage.*
To drain the pump, you need to disconnect the 2 hoses attached to the
pump. These hoses are attached using unions that are hand tightened.
Be sure to reattach the hoses after you are done. Also, the front plug
on the pump must be
gently loosened to drain the pump and then
gently re-tightened.
Additional water removal is required to prevent freeze damage to the
spa plumbing assembly. Use of a wet/dry vac is required.
Disconnect the plumbing hoses at the unions; place the shop vac hose
to the suction and dischar
ge hose connections.
Put the shop vac on
“blower” setting to for
ce any water in the plumbing lines out the jet
openings. This will eliminate the entrapment of water in the plumbing
lines that could fr
eeze and cause damage.
