11 .2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre-
quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, atten-
tion paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a
change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the
normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water balance mea-
surements are all within the proper parameters.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage
to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit
breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until
your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: 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 lines or the equipment (see “WINTER-
IZING”, Page 34. On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not
leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate drain valve on front/lower plastic pan.
Hold larger (rear) body to prevent it from
turning, then loosen and remove the front
cap to expose underlying male hose threads.
3. Attach garden hose to exposed threads.
4. Gently rotate larger (rear) valve body 1/3
turn counterclockwise to unlock drain valve.
5. Pull larger (rear) body outward to open drain.
6. After spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in reverse
order to close drain prior to refilling spa.
After refilling, turn on power to the spa
and follow the steps listed under “Start-Up
Instructions.” Always fill your spa through
both filter wall fittings (page 12).
