DRAINING OR WINTERIZING

Every three to six months, depending upon the water condition, you need to renew your water.

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING YOUR SPA

• To prevent damage to the spa’s components, unplug the spa from the outlet or turn off breaker

(230V)

before draining.

Do not power up your spa until your spa has been refilled with water.

• There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold,

and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur in the plumbing or the equipment.

• Do not leave the spa's shell (inside surface) exposed to direct sunlight.

DRAINING YOUR SPA

DO NOT PUT SPA INTO STANDBY MODE. STANDBY MODE DOES NOT APPLY WHEN DRAINING SPA.

• If draining for the first time. Pull the drain hose out a few inches from the spa (located in the

recess under the spa, just below the equipment access door).

• Unscrew and remove the drain cap.

• Attach drain hose to a garden hose and direct to an appropriate

draining area, keeping the hose below the water line.

• After your spa is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridge. See

“Spa Maintenance”

• After cleaning, remove garden hose, replace drain cap and

push the hose back into the recess.

• Follow the “Fill up and Start-up Instructions”.

WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

If you plan to store your spa for the winter, you must also use a wet-vac to clean out the water

lines to ensure they are free of any water. Water left in the lines might freeze and damage the

lines and jets.

1. It will be necessary to remove all water from the interior plumbing.

2. Remove the floating weir, basket, and filter cartridge. Clean the filter cartridge and store in a

dry place. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum side of the shop vac and thoroughly dry the

filter compartment.

3. Using the shop vac, remove the water starting with the jets at the top and moving downward.

NOTE: When removing the water from jet openings, you may notice suction coming from

another jet. With the help of a second person, block off any suction from the other jet using a

large rag or cloth. This will help pull out the water that is trapped deep inside the main line.

4. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.

5. Using a funnel, pour Propylene glycol anti-freeze into the filter suction fittings and jet outlets.

CAUTION: Use only Propylene glycol as your anti-freeze. This is non-toxic. NEVER use

automobile anti-freeze since it is toxic.

6. Remove the pump drain plug located on the front of the pump housings. Allow all water to

drain out. Place the drain plug in a reclosable plastic storage bag and store near the pump.

Replace the drain plugs on start-up.

7. Unscrew the suction/discharge pump and heater unions and allow the water to drain. Leave

union loose. NOTE: Tighten unions before filling spa.

8. Replace the equipment compartment door and secure with screws.

Note: Damage caused by improper winterizing will not be covered under warranty. You may

want to contact a professional for proper winterizing.
