DRAINING YOUR SPA
KNOWING WHEN TO DRAIN
Dissolved solids from bather load and ongoing chemical treatment accumulate in your spa water. The early sign of a
high level of dissolved solids is unmanageable cloudy water.
When in doubt, remember that the best
chemical for your spa is fresh water!
HOW TO DRAIN YOUR SPA
1) Turn down the set point on your spa and allow adequate time for the water to cool down. Uncover and run high
speed pump to speed up cooling.
2) Turn power off to your spa.
3) Attach the appropriate size hose to the drain connection (see below).
4) Route the hose to an appropriate drain location.
5) When the drain is opened the spa will gravity drain, even unattended.
6) As draining proceeds, move water from contours of seats, into the footwell. Draining will stop due to drain
height.
7) Remove any remaining water with a shop vac, sponge and pail or simply dilute in your fresh fill.
8) Before refilling, clean spa surface as necessary.
9) Don't forget to close the drain before refilling.
If you want to speed up the draining process, simply use a submersible
sump pump available through most hardware stores.
