Important –
The warranty on your spa and equipment depends on
the proper use of the AquaClara Natural Water Management
System™. (Refer to page 28 for more information on the
AquaClara Natural Water Management System.) In addition, the
following maintenance procedures must be followed periodically.
Draining and Refilling Your Spa
1)
Turn off the GFCI breaker.
2)
Remove spa cover and allow spa water to cool down.
3)
Select a safe, suitable drainage area capable of safely
assimilating 300 plus gallons of water, that may contain
unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue that could
cause harm to plants or grass.
4)
Locate drain valve at front of the spa (see page 14). Hold the
rear body to prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove
the front cap.
5)
Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads and route the
hose downhill to your drainage area.
6)
Twist the drain fitting 1/3 turn counterclockwise to unlock the
drain valve and pull it outward to open completely. The spa
water will drain by gravitational flow.
7)
After the spa drains, perform steps 3-5 in reverse order to close
the drain prior to refilling spa.
8)
Attach the garden hose to a thoroughly-flushed AquaClara
pre-filter (not included, rinsed of all residual sediment) and refill
your spa through the filtration canister.
9)
After refilling, turn on the GFCI breaker to the spa.
If the pump runs but no water flows, see page 31 to see how to
bleed air from the system.
