CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage
to the spas 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
“WINTERIZING”, page
42 ). 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 located on the front left
corner on the black plastic pan. Hold the larger
(rear) drain valve 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 as shown to
open drain.
6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in reverse order to close the drain
prior to refilling spa.
After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under “Spa
Fill Up Procedures.” (page
12 ). Always fill your spa through both filter buckets.
