12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The frequency
depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, attention paid to
water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you
cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle
to the water even though the key water balance measurements are all within the
proper parameters.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING:
To prevent dam-
age to the spa’s components,
turn off power to the spa at the circuit
breaker before draining it.
Do not turn the power back on until your
spa has been refilled.
CAUTION:
There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors,
freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment, see “WINTERIZ-
). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave
the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate the drain valve on the front/lower
plastic pan. Hold the larger (rear) body to
prevent it from turning, then loosen and
remove the front cap to expose the underlying
male hose threads.
3. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads.
4. Gently rotate the larger (rear) valve body 1/3
turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain
valve.
5. Pull the larger (rear) body outward to open
drain.
6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in
reverse order to close the drain prior to
refilling the spa.
After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under
“Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 14). Always fill your spa through both filter
wall fittings.
