To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:
1. Using the console, adjust the temperature to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI.
3. Remove the access panel from the spa.
4. Remove the end of the drain hose from the spa.
Remove the cap and attach a garden hose to the
drain hose.
5. Open the valve by turning the valve knob. The
water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Re-attach the cap and
return the drain hose to the clip inside the spa.
7. Re-attach the access panel.
8. 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 hydrotherapy 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 panel from the
spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE
ACCESS PANEL 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 spa for the winter, store it in
a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winter-
ize the spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHER-
APY 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 to the lowest setting. Use a
wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from
the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle
over each jet, starting with the highest jet and fin-
ishing with the lowest jet.
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 is 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,
remove the pump/motor from the spa and 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 240V power source.
9. Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the underwater light burns out, you will need to
remove the access panel to replace it (see ATTACHING
AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on page 14).
Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing
counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
To replace the light bulb, pull the old light bulb out of
the housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
panel to the spa.
