CHANGING THE HOT TUB WATER
A hot tub should be drained every 8-12 weeks, depending
on size and amount of use. If your hot tub is used daily or by
a large number of bathers, the water should be drained
more often. One method to determine the approximate
length of time between water changes is to divide the water
volume (in liters) of your hot tub by 13.5 and then divide by
the average number of bathers each day.
EXAMPLE
:
1000 liters divided by 13.5 divided by 2 = 37 days. The hot
tub water must be changed when the amount of dissolved
solids becomes excessive, and is usually indicated by “gray”
or dull looking water.
DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB HYDROPOOL EXCLUSIVE
QUICK-DRAIN™ & FILL REFER TO DIAGRAM
OVERVIEW
• Requires the use of 2 garden hoses - drain hose and
fill hose
• While first garden hose is draining old water from hot
tub…
•…second hose is used to wash down interior surface of
the hot tub and for fresh water fill.
REFER TO FIGURE 1 & FIGURE 2
1 Locate nearest drain facility (Check your local bylaws) .
2 Put the hot tub control system into STANDBY/DRAIN
ASSIST* mode. The system will automatically exit
Standby Mode after 1 hour and resume normal operating
functions.
3 Remove the skimmer basket so that the hole beneath it is
accessible, and insert the #10 rubber expansion plug
provided.
4 Attach garden hose to hose bib located on plumbing line
beside the hot tub control system.
5 Run garden hose to drain location.
6 Open hose bib.
7 Close filtration pump return gate valve next to the hose
bib (this directs the water out the drain hose).
8 Activate the filtration pump.
9 Monitor the hot tub while it drains.
10 Use the second garden hose to wash down interior sur-
face as the hot tub continues to drain. A sponge may
also be used to wipe down the interior surface.
11 To completely flush the old water from the plumbing lines:
allow fresh water to fill into the foot-well area while the old
water continues to be pumped out. Always keep at least
10cm (4 in.) of water in the foot-well so that pump 1 re-
mains primed.
12 When the water from the drain hose turns clear (indicating
fresh fill water), flush is complete.
13 Turn OFF the filtration pump.
14 Close the drain-hose bib on the hot tub plumbing line and
continue filling hot tub with fresh water.
15 Place cover on hot tub (to avoid splash-out).
16 Open filtration pump return gate valve.
17 Press any button on the topside control panel (other than
the pump 1 button) to take the system out of STANDBY/
DRAIN ASSIST * mode. Filtration pump and the heater
will activate to circulate and heat the water while filling
continues. This also reduces the possibility of an airlock
occurring.
18 Continue adding fresh fill water until level is approximately
19mm (3/4 in.) from the top of the skimmer opening.
19 Once fill is complete, remove the #10 rubber expansion
plug from the bottom of the skimmer housing.**
20 If the filter housing was opened to replace the cartridge
filter, it will be necessary to release trapped air from the
filter housing by carefully loosening the small black air
vent/bleeder valve located on the top of the filter housing.
When water begins to escape close the air vent valve.
21 In the unlikely event of a pump air lock (pump 1 is operat-
ing but there is no water movement from the jets), refer to
section
PUMP PRIMING/RELEASING AN AIR LOCK
**
It may be necessary to put system into STANDBY/
DRAIN ASSIST* mode in order to remove plug.
Never fill a hot tub with water from a water softener, as it
could adversely effect the water chemistry, making it difficult
to maintain proper water balance. If you live in an area with
hard or soft water, give careful attention to your Calcium
Hardness level. Topping up with soft water is acceptable.
