Draining and Refilling Your Spa
Figure 16 - Drain Operation
1. Turn off the GFCI breaker or unplug the spa.
2. Remove spa / hot tub cover and allow water to cool down.
3. Select a safe, suitable drainage area capable of safely assimilating 300 plus
gallons of water that may contain unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue
that could cause harm to plants or grass.
4. Locate drain valve at within the cabinet of the spa / hot tub (see page
42
). Hold the
pipe to prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove the cap.
5. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads and route the hose downhill to your
drainage area.
6. Turn the drain fitting 1/2 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve and open
completely. The water will drain by gravitational flow.
7. After the spa / hot tub drains, perform steps 3-5 in reverse order to close the drain
prior to refilling.
8. Attach the garden hose to a thoroughly-flushed pre-filter (not included, rinsed of all
residual sediment) and refill your spa / hot tub through the filtration canister.
9. After refilling, plug in the spa or turn on the GFCI breaker to the spa / hot tub.
10. If the pump runs but no water flows, see page
35
to see how to bleed air from the
system.
Filters
The micro filter in your spa / hot tub should be removed and cleaned every week with a
high quality filter cleanser and typically replaced every 4-6 months (depending upon
use). You can clean your filter with the water pressure from the end of a garden hose
then rinsed with warm water. This ensures that the water is being filtered properly.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
. We recommend having replacement filter on hand that can
be swapped between cleanings. Doing so enables you to quickly exchange the dirty
filters with the clean one and immediately start your spa / hot tub again. Call your local
dealer to order replacement filters and filter cleaner.
