spa unit.
4. Remove the drainage hose from the spa and
attach a garden hose to the valve on the drainage
hose.
5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Return the drainage
hose to the clip and replace the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 10 and 14).
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy
spa is drained (see
DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA
on page 14), the pump
should also be drained
if the hydro-therapy
spa will be stored for
more than thirty days,
or if it may be exposed
to freezing temperatures.
To drain the pump, remove the access cover from the
spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE
ACCESS COVER on page 14). Locate the pump
inside the spa unit. Remove the drain plug from the
pump and allow all water to drain from the pump.
Replace the drain plug.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the win-
ter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps
below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on the previous page and
this page).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each jet, starting with the
highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
this page). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage
hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water
from the pump. Note: For additional protection
you can remove the pump/motor from the spa
to store it in a climate-controlled room.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 13).
7. Clean the filter (see page 13).
8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the power
cord from the 240 volt power source, if so wired.
9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa
cover.
