Tadpole Hot Tub Owner’s Manual — January 24, 2003 

Steps to Drain Your hot tub (Using the Optional Pow-

erDrain™ w/ 50’ of Drain Hose): 

*Items Needed: 

1 or 2 JetZone dividers 

1. Place the hot tub into standby mode through the 

control panel. 

2. Remove the 1st JetPak on the left side of the hot tub, 

nearest the filter assembly. 

3. Remove the filter(s) from the filter housing unit. 

4. Install the power drain unit on the water output side 

of the 2" plumbing entering the 1st JetPak recess (this 

will be the fitting closest to the control panel). 

5. Unroll the drain hose and direct where the output of 

the water will go. 

6. Start “Jets” button on low speed (water output vol-

ume can be controlled by using the gate valve sup-

plied). 

7. Place the JetZone divider(s) into the filter housing 

blocking off the flow at the bottom of the filter. This 

will allow the hot tub to drain down to the level of the 

intake suction. 

8. The hot tub water will now drain out of the tub in 

about 5 to 9 minutes at full volume on low speed. 

9. After water is drained, place in standby mode and 

reverse the above procedure. 

Steps To Refill Your hot tub:

 

1. Remove garden hose from Drain Hose and replace 

Drain Hose Cap. 

2. Reattach door to Equipment Compartment. 

3. Refill hot tub with tap water. Fill the hot tub to any 

point between the two Water Level Indentation marks 

located on the face plate of the filter assembly. The 

depth range of these marks is 6-7½” down from top of 

the hot tub. 

Note 1:

  To avoid air pockets in the pumps and in the 

main plumbing intake, it is recommended that the hot 

tub be refilled through the filter assembly. 

Note 2:

  The higher the water level, the fewer hot tub 

occupants it will take to cause the water to overflow the 

top of the spa. 

Note 3:

 Do not fill your hot tub with soft water unless 

the mineral content is raised immediately.

 

4. Restore electrical power supply. 

5. See "Starting Your Hot Tub with New Water" 
under "Water Chemistry" in this Owner's Manual. 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Using the hot tub in these conditions could result in 

a skin rash or other irritation.   

For assistance in handling hot tub water 
chemistry problems, consult your authorized 
Tadpole Portable Hot Tub Dealer or another 
service center capable of performing a 

Computerized Water Analysis.

CHANGING YOUR HOT TUB WATER 

Depending on usage, your hot tub water will need to 

be changed approximately every 2 - 4 months or 

whenever your hot tub water becomes difficult to 

manage.  

Note 1: 

Drain water to an area that can handle the 

gallonage of your hot tub.   

Note 2: 

If draining water onto vegetation, make sure 

that the sanitizer level (bromine or chlorine level) of 

your hot tub water is less than .5 PPM. 

 

Steps to Drain Your HOT TUB (Conventional 

Method): 

1. Disconnect electrical power supply.  

2. Remove door to Equipment Compartment. 

3. Drain water from hot tub by completing the 

following: 

a. Locate Drain Hose in Equipment Compartment.   

b. Lift Drain Hose higher than water level in hot   

tub.   

c. Remove cap on Drain Hose (Fig. S).   

d. Connect garden hose to Drain Hose.   

e. Lower Drain Hose to ground level.  

4. Clean the hot tub shell (refer to "Hot Tub Shell 

Care" in this Owner's Manual).
