You may need to renew the water in your tub every 3-5 months, depending upon the
water condition.
Read this before draining
your hot tub.
To prevent damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to
the spa at the disconnect before draining the hot tub. Do not turn
power back on until your spa has been refi lled with water.
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
plumbing or the equipment. On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot
tub’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. Cracking and/or fading may
occur.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
- Turn power off at the breaker
- Your spa is equipped with a 98% main drain. (see image below)
- Remove the safety cap on the main drain (located on the outside of the cabinet in the

- You may also choose to attach you garden hose to the adapter to run the water into a
desired area
-
