Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa
Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F. We recommend that you always have your spa
full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F). This will help reduce the risk of freezing
in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
WARNING: IF YOU FIND 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 AND THEREBY VOID THE WARRANTY COVERAGE.
1. Open all filter covers..
2. Remove the filter baskets and filters.
3. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above.
4. Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.
5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.
6. Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area.
7. Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enter 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
specifically 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.
Spa Covers
1. Remove spa cover from spa.
2. Allow spa cover to dry completely.
3. Spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner to cover evenly and wipe dry.
4. Allow spa cover to dry completely.
5. Reinstall cover on spa.
Pillows
1. Wipe pillows dry with a soft cloth.
2. Carefully spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner directly onto pillow.
3. Wipe pillows dry.
4. Allow pillows to dry completely.
