DRAINING YOUR SPA

1. Turn off all GFCI breakers in sub-panel, or main electrical panel.

2. Locate the drain valve for the spa (lower front of the spa) and

remove the drain cap. Attach the inlet of a garden hose to the drain

valve and route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining

area.

NOTE: Spa water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and

grass.

3. Open the drain valve by turning the knob. The spa will drain by

gravitational flow.

IMPORTANT: All models will drain almost completely through the

drain valve. Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system

may not completely drain. Any water remaining within the plumbing

or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the spa

is being winterized.

4. After your spa is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridge.

5. Close the drain valve and reinstall the drain cap.

6. Install new filter or clean existing with filter cleaner.

7. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your spa.

PREVENTION OF FREEZING

Your spa has been designed and engineered for year-round use in

any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures below -12°C

(10°F) combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of the jet

pump, even though the water inside the spa remains at the selected

temperature. The energy efficiency of the spa may also decrease during

these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more frequently. As an

additional precaution against partial freezing of some of the components,

the equipment compartment can be insulated with an insulating kit

(available from your local dealer). This insulating kit will also help to

maximize the spa’s energy efficiency.

NOTE: When warmer weather returns approx. 16° - 21°C (60 - 70°F),

the insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet

pump.

WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

If you leave the spa unused for a long period of time in severely cold

weather, you should drain the spa and winterize it to avoid accidental

freezing due to a power or equipment failure.

DANGER: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze (available

at most RV or marine supply stores). This is non-toxic. Never use an

automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it is toxic!

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions correctly can lead to

freeze damage not covered by warranty. It is strongly recommended

that you contact your local dealer to perform this service.

1. Drain your spa following the Draining Your Spa section in the

owner’s manual.

2. Remove the filter cartridge, clean and store in a dry place.

IMPORTANT: These additional instructions must be utilized when

draining and winterizing your spa in climates where the temperature

falls below 0°C (32°F). A 19 liter (5 gallon) combination (vacuum/

blower) wet/dry shop vac must be used to effectively remove water

that is trapped inside the plumbing lines.

3. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum side of the shop vac.

Vacuum all openings and orifices as follows:

a. Jet openings: start with the jets at the top and move

downward (if suction is coming from another jet, block off the

other jet using a large rag – this will help pull out the water that

is trapped deeper inside the main line).

b. Filter suction fittings and filter compartment.

c. Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate

tightly with a rag when vacuuming the main drain to ensure

water is drawn completely from the internal plumbing system).

4. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.

5. Remove pump door first. Once door is removed unscrew the pump

drain plugs located on the front of the pump housing. Allow all

water to drain out. Place the drain plugs in a ziplock bag and store

near the pumps. Replace the drain plugs on Start-up.

6. Unscrew the pump unions and allow the water to drain. Loosen

and remove hose attached to circulation pump to allow any

remaining water from heater and spa to drain out. Replace

circulation pump hose once water is drained. NOTE: Tighten the

pump unions prior to filling the spa.

7. Replace the main drain cap.

8. Using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes,

filter suction fittings, jet orifices and water feature orifices. Add

enough anti-freeze to ensure adequate protection – in many

cases, you will see the liquid in the orifice, or coming out of another

location.

CAUTION: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze. This is

non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol)

since it is toxic!

9. Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. Cover the spa

cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of

snow and ice. Secure a plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover

and plywood.

10. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. Open the spa cover by

unfastening the cover tie downs.

2. Follow the Start-up Procedures in the Getting Started section of

the Owner’s Manual. Do not install filters to prevent them from

exposure to the anti-freeze.

3. As part of this process, superchlorinate the spa water by adding

three teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250

gallons) of spa water into the filter compartment. This is twice the

normal amount of chlorine needed for superclorination. This extra

amount of chlorine is needed to destroy the anti-freeze.

NOTE: A defoamer may be needed to decrease the amount of

foam caused by the anti-freeze.

4. Drain your spa to ensure removal of anti-freeze. Do not drain water

on grass or plants due to excessive chlorine level.

5. After the spa has completely drained, re-install your filter and

follow the Start-up Procedures in the Getting Started section of the

Owner’s Manual.

IMPORTANT: Always keep spa covered when not in use, whether

it is empty or full.
