Cleaning or Winterizing

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

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB

To prevent damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit

breaker before draining the hot tub. Do not turn power back on until your spa has been

refilled with water.

There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your hot tub. If it is

extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors, freezing could occur in the plumbing or the

equipment. On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot tub’s surface

exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.

DRAINING YOUR SPA

¾ Trip all GFCI breakers in sub-panel, main electrical panel or unplug your spa

¾ Remove the equipment compartment access door.

¾ Locate end of the drain hose bib and turn gate at hose bib to closed position.

¾ Unscrew and remove the drain cap.

¾ Attach drain hose to a garden hose and direct to an appropriate draining area, keeping the hose

below the water line. Open gate at hose bib to begin draining.

¾ After your hot tub is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridge. See “Spa Maintenance” and

Surface care.

¾ After cleaning, remove garden hose, close gate at hose bib, replace drain cap and put drain hose

back in equipment compartment.

¾ Follow the “Start-up Instructions” to refill your spa.

Before draining, power must be turned off at the GFCI circuit breaker. Within the equipment compartment, locate the drain

hose bib. Attach a garden hose to the hose bib; make sure the garden hose exit spout will drain away from hot tub toward a

previously selected safe drain area, and open the shut off lever on the hot tubs hose bib. Water will start to drain. You can also

siphon the water from the hot tub. The drain faucet will not remove all the water. You may have to remove a small amount of

the water by hand, using a towel or plastic container.

NOTE: Beginning in 2007 Premiere Series Spas are equipped with Magic Drain Valve. The Magic Drain Valve is

manufactured from Impact-Modified ABS and equipped with a total of 5 Teflon-Impregnated O-Rings. To operate, pull the

spout out and twist slightly counterclockwise until the spout is out approximately 2”. Leave the exterior end cap on. Once

extracted, by design, the Drain Valve will stay in the closed position. After the garden hose is installed, push the spout back in

halfway to actuate the drain. The valve is also equipped with a removable bezel in order for the skirt to be detached without

disturbing the plumbing. The Magic Drain Valve also has built in freeze protection and will drain approximately 5 gallons per

minute.

If you plan to store your tub 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. To adequately clean out the lines, place the wet-

vac over each jet face for 10-15 seconds. On the whirlpool jet, rotate it to the open position and vacuum for 10-15 seconds.

Remove the filter cartridge and do the same. Also, let the water drain from the heater tube by loosening the spit-nuts on each

side of the heater tube. Also, remove drain plug located on the wet end of the pump. Remember to re-tighten the split-nuts

when completed and replace drain plug on the wet end of the pump. Use the wet-vac to vacuum up any water that may have

drained on to the hot tub floor.

Note: damage caused by improper winterizing will not be covered under warranty. You will want

to contact a professional for proper winterizing.
