14.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of
use, number of users, attention 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 measurements are all within the proper
parameters.
To prevent dam-
age to the spas 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 relled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-
doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see
“WINTERIZING”, page 70). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors,
do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
