SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING THE SPA
Your spa was designed for year-round use and
many people find the combination of hot water,
therapy jets, and cool winter temperatures to be
especially soothing. However, if you decide to dis-
continue the use of your spa for any extended per-
iod of time, we suggest you follow the steps below.
NOTE:
During long periods of inactivity, damage
can occur to equipment from condensation within
the equipment compartment.
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
2. Drain the spa. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING
THE SPA.)
3. Remove all residual water from the seating
and footwell. If necessary, bail out the
remaining water then dry the spa with
towels. A wet/dry vacuum is recommended
for best results.
4. Using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum
nozzle over each jet nozzle to remove water
from plumbing lines, starting with the highest
jet and finishing with the lowest jet.
5. Unscrew the pump plug from the pump.
(See STARTING YOUR SPA.)
6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place
nozzle over the exposed pump opening to
remove excess water. The pump should be
removed from the spa and stored in a climate-
controlled room.
7. Clean the spa interior.
8. Clean the filter cartridge.
9. Reinstall the spa cover and lock in place.
NOTE:
Direct sunlight on the spa surface can
cause severe damage or blemishing and can
result in the voiding of any surface warranties.
10. For added protection, cover the entire spa
with a Marquis Protective Spa Cover.
