REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
NOTE: These maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the spa owner to perform. These
procedures are not covered by the spa warranty.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is
recommended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days or as necessary. Heavy bather load
will require draining and cleaning it more often. Draining times will vary by model when using the
equipped internal drain assembly. A sump pump may also be used to expedite the draining of the
spa.
STEPS FOR USING THE EQUIPPED INTERNAL DRAIN
The spas are equipped with a drain assembly which can be located on the front side of the spa
behind the skirt (same side as the topside control panel or where most of the spa equipment is
located). The drain will be located in the equipment area behind the front skirt panel (Figure 1).

Figure 1.1
1.
Remove the front skirt panel by removing its panel screws. The drain will be located inside the
equipment bay (see Figure 1 & Figure 1.1).
2.
To start the flow of water with this drain assembly; remove the cap, twist the face
counterclockwise and pull out slightly on the face. A garden hose can be attached to the end of
the drain assembly, if so desired.
NOTE:
With the cap removed from the drain; water may drip or weep from the drain. This is
normal. Be sure that the steps are followed in reverse order when draining is finished.
Make sure that the drain cap is reattached and the valve is put back to the fully closed
position so that there is no water leaking from the drain assembly.
STEPS FOR USING A SUMP PUMP*
1.
Carefully lower submersible pump with hose connected into the bottom of spa, taking care not
scratch or gouge your spa shell.
2.
Run the discharge end of the hose from your submersible pump to a desired location several
feet away from your spa, where the water will drain away from foundation that the spa is
resting on.
3.
Plug in/turn on your submersible pump.
4.
Turn off/disconnect your submersible pump once it is no longer able to suck up any further
water (indicated by a suctioning sound and water no longer coming out of the drainage hose).
If you plan to fully wipe down and clean your entire spa shell, a shop vac can be used to remove
the remaining small pockets of water in the spa.
* Sump Pump is not provided with spa.
