WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
In many areas of the world the temperature may drop below 32°
F
(0°C). We recommend the spa is always filled with water and
running at normal spa temperatures. By doing this you will mini-
mize the risk of freezing within your spa. If it is necessary to
leave your spa unattended for long periods of time during cold
weather conditions, you should drain your spa to avoid acci-
dental freezing caused by power outages.
Your local dealer can perform the following winterizing proce-
dures, if you are not completely comfortable with them.
Ensure that you have fully drained the spa (Refer to the
DRAINING YOUR SPA section)
After draining, your spa may still have water remaining in the
equipment and plumbing fittings. Disconnect the hand-
tightened union fittings going to and from the jet pumps. Be
careful not to lose the o-rings between the unions and pump
housing.
Leave drain valve in the open position and safety cap off .
To completely drain the plumbing lines, a wet/dry shop vacu-
um can be used to draw out any remaining water. Place the
vacuum hose over the jet fittings in the spa as well as the
plumbing lines in the equipment area. You should also dis-
connect the plug on the crystal clear inspection tube (if in-
stalled)
Remove the filter cartridge and store in a warm, dry area.
Clean the spa shell and place spa cover on spa. Be sure to
lock the cover in place in case of high winds or rain.
WARNING:
The instructions above should be followed ac-
cordingly when winterizing your spa however they are guidelines
and potential freeze damage may still occur. All freeze damage
is the sole responsibility of the spa owner and will not be cov-
ered by the warranty should it occur.
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS:
To eliminate freezing in the
event of equipment failure, use a 100-watt light bulb or small
heater via extension cord and place it in the equipment area,
keeping it away from plumbing lines. This will help for a short
period of time until proper service can be rendered.
