14.2 Draining And Refilling

About every 3 to 6 months, you will should replace the hot tub’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.

CAUTiON! reAd THiS BeFOre drAiNiNG: To decrease

damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the

hot tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn

the power back on until your hot tub has been refilled. There

are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your

hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors,

freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see

“Winterizing”, page 58). On the other hand, if it is hot

outdoors, do not leave the hot tub’s surface exposed to

direct sunlight for long periods.
