WINTERIZING
If you live in an area where the danger of freezing exists, you must take extra precautions to insure that your hot tub will operate
properly. If you plan to operate your hot tub throughout the winter, be sure that the thermostat is set to keep the water warm. If
you intend on closing down your hot tub for the winter, you should follow the winterizing procedures listed below:
1. Drain the hot tub as explained in the "Draining Your Hot Tub" section.
2. Be sure that all water is removed from the hot tub.
3. Shut off all electrical power at the breaker box.
4. Disconnect the unions from the equipment module to allow the water in the hot tub lines and equipment module to drain.
5. Remove the drain plug on the pump housing to allow water to drain out of the pump. Replace the drain plug.
6. Open all air controls to allow trapped water to drain through jets.
7. Remove the filter element from the filter housing and see that the filter housing is dry. If water is left in the filter housing it
will freeze and cause the housing to crack.
8. Using a wet/dry shop vac, vacuum out each of the lines at the point where you disconnected the unions from the equipment
module. Also, put the vacuum hose up against the face of each jet opening to vacuum out any water remaining in their sup-
ply lines.
9. Cover your hot tub with your hot tub cover and be sure it is locked in place.
WARNING: Failure to maintain the proper chemical levels or properly winterize your hot tub may cause extensive damage to
components. Damage to components or the hot tub shell itself resulting from improper chemical maintenance or improper winter-
ization will NOT be covered under warranty.
