12.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use,
number of users, 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.
