Draining and Refilling
Figure 26 - Drain Operation
1) Turn off the GFCI breaker.
2) Remove 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 front of the hot tub (see page 21). Hold the rear
body to prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove the front
cap.
5) Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads and route the hose
downhill to your drainage area.
6) Twist the drain fitting 1/3 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain
valve and pull it outward to open completely. The water will drain by
gravitational flow.
7) After the hot tub drains, perform steps 3-5 in reverse order to close
the drain prior to refilling hot tub.
8) Attach the garden hose to a thoroughly-flushed pre-filter (not
included, rinsed of all residual sediment) and refill your hot tub
through the filtration canister.
9) After refilling, turn on the GFCI breaker to the hot tub.
If the pump runs but no water flows, see page 43 to see how to bleed air
from the system.
