REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
CLEANING DIVERTER VALVES - cont.
Turn the cap piece counter clockwise. It may be necessary to put a clean rag
over the cap and turn it with a wrench.
Once loose, the cap and handle can be pulled up out of the white
plumbing fitting.
Wipe down the internal piece that attaches to the cap and handle.
Soak the cap and handle in white vinegar.
The white plumbing fitting should also be wiped down. If the surface of the
white plumbing has become too abrasive, you can take wet, fine sandpaper
and smooth it out. It is also helpful to use a lubricant (use silicone based, but
not petroleum based) to allow for an easier turn of the diverter handle.
Rinse the diverter internals and reassemble.
In the future, it is helpful to turn the diverter valve only when the pump is
not on. Cleaning your diverter valve should occur every time you drain
your spa.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
Your spa is equipped with an outside drain fitting.To access this drain, turn
the black cap piece counter clockwise.The hose bib fitting will then be able
to be pulled out slightly (approximately 1/4 inch) and the cap can be
removed. Attach a garden hose if desired. It will take most spas 3-4 hours
to drain.
Before refilling your spa be sure the drain
is closed securely.
