WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the
winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the
steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on pages 16 and 17).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
page 17). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the
drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any addi-
tional water from the pump. Note: For additional
protection you can remove the pump/motor
from the spa to store it in a climate controlled
room.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 15).
7. Clean the filter (see page 15).
8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the
power cord from the 240 volt power source.
9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa
cover.
CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT POWER
SOURCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with
either a 120v or 240v power source. For your conve-
nience, it is shipped ready to be plugged directly into
a 120v/15 amp home outlet.
However, you can greatly improve the performance of
the spa by converting the spaÕs power supply to
receive power from a 240v power source. If the spa is
converted, it must be wired directly into a 240v GFCI
in your home by a qualified electrician.
You will need to call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time
(excluding holidays) to receive a free instruction
guide which explains the conversion procedure.
WARNING: Only a qualified electrician should per-
form the conversion procedure.
