2. Remove the filter cartridge, clean and store in a dry place.
IMPORTANT: These additional instructions must be utilized when draining and winterizing your spa in climates where the temperature falls below 0°C (32°F). A 19
liter (5) gallon combination (vacuum/blower) wet/dry shop vac must be used to effectively remove water that is trapped inside the plumbing lines.
3. If your spa is equipped with a blower, evacuate water from the air jet lines as follows:
a) Turn on the 25A breaker.
b) Activate the blower by pushing the air button. Once all water has been evacuated, turn off the blower.
c) Turn off the 25A breaker.
4. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum side of the shop vac. Vacuum all openings and orifices as follows:
a) Jet openings: start with the jets at the top and move downward (if suction is coming from another jet, block off the other jet using a large rag – this will help pull
out the water that is trapped deeper inside the main line).
b) Filter suction fittings and filter compartment.
c) Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate tightly with a rag when vacuuming the main drain to ensure water is drawn completely from the
internal plumbing system).
5. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.
6. Remove pump doors by first removing the drain collar then the door screws. Once door is removed unscrew the pump drain plugs located on the from of the pump
housing. Allow all water to drain out. Place the drain plugs in a ziplock bag and stre near the pumps. Replace the drain plugs on Start-up.
7. Unscrew the pump unions and allow the water to drain. Loosen and remove hose attached to circulation pump to allow any remaining water from heater and spa
to drain out. Replace circulation pump hose once water is drained. NOTE: Tighten the pump unions prior to filling the spa.
8. Replace the main drain cap.
9. Using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes, filter suction fittings, jet orifices and water feature orifices. Also, add anti-freeze to the
FROG
canister. Add enough anti-freeze to ensure adequate protection – in many cases, you will see the liquid in the orifice, or coming out of another location.
CAUTION
: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze. This is non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it is toxic!
10. Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. Cover the spa cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of snow and ice. Secure a
plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover and plywood.
11. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.
OPENING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. Open the spa cover by unfastening the cover tie downs.
2. Follow the Start-up and Refill Procedures in the Operating Instructions section of the Owner’s Manual. Do not install filters to prevent them from exposure to the
anti-freeze.
3. As part of this process, superchlorinate the spa water by adding three teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250 gallons) of spa water into the filter
compartment. This is twice the normal amount of chlorine needed for superclorination. This extra amount of chlorine is needed to destroy the anti-freeze.
NOTE: A defoamer may be needed to decrease the amount of foam caused by the anti-freeze.
4. Drain your spa to ensure removal of anti-freeze. Do not drain water on grass or plants due to excessive chlorine level.
5. After the spa has completely drained, re-install your filter and follow the Start-up and Refill Procedures in the Operating Instructions section of the Owner’s Manual.
IMPORTANT: Always keep spa covered when not in use, whether it is empty or full.
CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS
The spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water
and other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows should be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed
with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If the spa is not going to be used for a long period of time
(that is during a vacation or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa pillows should be removed until the next use of the spa.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE SPA PILLOWS:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the pillow.
IMPORTANT
: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty.
3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back of the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell.
