DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done, because after repeated
chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.
These high temperatures can cause significant
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:
1. Set the temperature control on the console to the
lowest setting.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Remove the access cover from the back of the
spa unit.
4. Remove the drainage hose from the clip, and
remove the cap. Attach a garden hose to the
valve on the drainage hose.
5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Replace the cap, and
return the drainage hose to the clip and replace
the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 15 and 16).
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING
THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA ), the pump in the spa
jet unit should also be drained if the hydrotherapy spa
will be stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be
exposed to freezing temperatures.
To drain the pump,
remove the access
cover from the spa
unit (see ATTACHING
AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS
COVER on page 16).
Locate the pump
inside the spa unit.
Remove the drain plug from the pump, and allow the
water to drain from the pump.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the
winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the
steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA at the left).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP
above). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the
drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any addi-
tional water from the pump. Note: For additional
protection you can remove the pump/motor
from the spa to store it in a climate controlled
room.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 15).
7. Clean the filter (see page 18).
8. Re-attach the access cover (see page 16).
9. Re-attach the spa cover.
