Periodic Spa Water Draining
After a certain time, you may find that the addition of chemicals will not clarify or eliminate
odors in the spa. This is an indication that the water needs to be drained and replaced. Generally, de-
pending upon bather load and water chemistry maintenance, this may need done every 3 months. With
the use of ozone, this may need done less frequently.
1. Reduce set temperature to 59˚F (15˚c).
2. Turn off all power.
3. Connect a garden hose to the recessed drain valve found on the side of your Spa
cabinet, by slowly pulling the cap out all the way (approximately 2”) and
turn cap counterclockwise to remove. Attach the hose and push valve 1”,
this will start the draining process. After draining the spa, replace the cap
and push the valve all the way in.

nut around the drain valve to remove
the cabinet panel from the spa for
servicing, if necessary.

in this section regarding
maintenance recommendations.
5. Clean spa shell with non-sudsing cleanser.
6. Follow instruction under start-up.
Plumbing Care
All spas are plumbed with plastic jets, pipes and fittings which are glued together. These plas-
tic parts and their many glue joints are subjected to harsh treatment. Every spa is tested with water
to assure there are no leaks when it leaves the factory; however, sometimes spas develop a leak caused
by shipping vibration. Over the years, your spa is subjected to many hot-cold cycles and the high pres-
sure generated by the powerful jet pump, which together stresses the pipes and joints. PDC spas are
designed to be owner serviceable with easy-access panels on all 4 sides of the portable spa which al-
low quick and thorough inspection and repair of the plumbing system. Should a leak occur, follow
these instruction to make the repair.
1. Remove side panel to locate leak. Mark the leak with a marking pen.
2. Turn off all power. Drain spa below leak, allow plastic parts to dry.
3. Contact qualified service technician to repair plumbing.
Replacing the Light Bulb
If the underwater light bulb should burn out
( Motion Glow Lighting)
you will need to remove
the access panel to replace it.
(Refer to the manual section regarding removal).
Be sure the power is “off”. Locate the light
housing, turn the housing counterclockwise
and remove from spa shell. To replace the bulb,
pull the old bulb from the housing and insert
new one. Re-attach the light housing to spa
shell. Replace cabinet panel and ends.
