WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

26

Many people find they enjoy using their spa more in the winter than any other
time.  Your spa is designed to be used year round in any type of climate.

*However, if you decide you don’t want to use your spa in the winter, you must

drain it and follow the winterizing steps listed below:

1.) Drain your spa completely using the drain valve (see "To Drain Your Spa") 

or  use an inexpensive submersible pump that you can buy from your dealer
or  your local hardware store.

2.) Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of your unit.

3.) Remove access panels from equipment area.

4.) Loosen all pump unions

5.) Remove winterizing plug from the face of the pump(s).

6.) Using your shop vac in a blowing mode, insert the hose into the nozzle 

of  each jet and blow the trapped water from the lines into the interior 
of the spa.

7.) After this is completed, use the shop vac to remove any standing water 

in the spa and in the equipment area.

8.) Clean the spa with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner.

9.) Replace access panels.

10.) Cover spa to prevent water from entering the spa.

* Disclaimer: Master Spas does not recommend winterizing your spa. 

If you choose to do so, any damage that may result is not covered 
under the spa warranty.
