Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always
have your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This
will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you nd the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in
your spas equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there
is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage.
Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.
Open all lter covers.1.
Remove the lter baskets and lters.2.
Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above.3.
Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.4.
Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.5.
Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area.6.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters
the spa.
Cleaning the Cover, Shell and Pillows
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying
Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner
is specically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It
accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive
vinyl protectants.
Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner
Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used
sparingly. Incorrect usage may cause water clarity
issues.
