Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops
below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always
have your spa full of water and running at normal spa
temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This
will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and
your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you find the need to drain your spa,
please be aware of the potential of freezing in
your spas equipment and plumbing . Even if the
directions below are followed perfectly, there
is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer
freeze damage .
Freeze damage is not covered by your
warranty .
Open all filter covers. 1.
Remove the filter baskets and filters. 2.
Drain your spa completely as described in the 3.
instructions above.
Remove drain plugs from the front of the
4.
pumps.
Disconnect the unions from both sides of the
5.
pump.
Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining
6.
water out of the jets and equipment area.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-
weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow
enters the spa.
Installing Cover Latches
You will need a drill with a 3/32” drill bit and a Phillips screwdriver.
Your cover will have four clips attached to the ends of the four latches, two on each end of the spa cover.
There will also be a small bag with 12 screws.
Place the cover on the spa with the latches placed 1.
where you want to mount them on the spa.
Using the latch clips as a guide, drill three 2.
holes for the mounting screws.
Insert three screws in the latch clip and fasten it to the spa shell. 3.
Make sure they are snug, but do not overtighten them. Do the
same for the remaining latches. Drill and attach latch clips to the
shell one at a time.
When you have finished inserting 4.
all of the screws, use the latch
key to unlock the cover latches.
