5.6 Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
Depending on your region in your country, the temperature could drop below 32°F (0°C). If you are in one
of those regions, we recommend that you always have your spa full if water and running at normal spa
temperatures (80°F to 100°F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). this will help reduce the risk of freezing water in your spa
and in your spa’s equipment.
WARNING: If you find the need to drain your spa, be aware of the potential of freezing in your spas
equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no guarantee that
your spa will not suffer freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.
