DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times per year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done because after repeated
chemical treatment the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.
These high temperatures can cause significant
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:
1. Using the console, adjust the temperature to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the power to the spa, at the circuit break-
er or GFCI.
3. Remove the access panel from the spa (see
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS
PANEL on this page).
4. Pull the hose out and hold it above the waterline.
Remove the cap, open the valve knob, and attach
a garden hose to the drain hose. Lower the hose
and drain the spa.
5. When the spa is empty, remove the garden hose,
close the valve knob, and re-attach the cap and
return the drain hose inside the spa.
6. Re-attach the access panel.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 11 and 16).
