Owner’s Manual
Care of the Hot Tub Cover
The thermal cover for your hot tub is an extremely durable foam insulated product. See the manufacturer’s literature
for proper cleaning instructions. When the hot tub is not in use, it is recommended that the cover tie downs always be
utilized to discourage unsupervised children and minimize heat loss. Small locks are also available for the cover tie
downs. In either case, these locking methods are not considered adequate to keep unauthorized people from entering
the hot tub.
Special Cold Weather Instructions
Slipping into your steamy water on a snowy, winter night is a refreshing experience. Many times, people who could
never imagine being outside in winter weather, find themselves spending their winter nights
doing just that, while
relaxing in their hot tub with family and friends. Therefore, the best winterizing tips of all are to enjoy use of your
system year-round
.
All systems manufactured by Dimension One Spas are designed for rigorous winter use. They are insulated to keep
operating costs down and to protect plumbing and equipment whenever the products are operational. Each product
line incorporates freeze protection mode to maintain water circulation during freezing conditions whenever the system
has proper electrical power and water level. Therefore, a fully operational system is your number one defense against
freeze damage.
If you find it completely necessary to drain your water during the winter months, in an area where freezing conditions
may exist, please adhere to all of the instructions in this section to minimize the risk of freeze damage. Failure to
complete any of the steps satisfactorily will increase the chance of freeze damage, as small amounts of water trapped in
pipes will expand as it freezes, and may result in damaged plumbing lines or fittings.
Dimension One Spas does not recommend that you drain your system for the winter. Freeze
damage caused by winterizing your system is specifically not covered by Your Warranty.

Procedure for Winterizing
1. Shut the power off to the system and make sure that it cannot be accidentally turned back on.
2. Remove filter elements from filter assembly.
3. Drain water from the system using the drain fitting and garden hose or you may use a submersible pump for
faster draining.
4. Open the equipment compartment and locate pumps and heater.
5. Remove all of the drain plugs from each pump.
6. Loosen unions on both sides of each pump, and the heater if applicable.
7. If your system has a Dynamic Jet Sequencer, please remove that access panel as well and loosen all unions on
each of the sequencer valves. There are 6 sequencer valves, that means that you will have to loosen 12
unions.
