3. Slowly and gently tilt the panel forward to

CLEAR

4. To reinstall the panel just follow the steps above in reverse order.
13.3 Draining And Refilling
Every 3 months, you will need to replace the hot tub’s water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of
use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is
time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no
longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key
water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING:
To decrease
damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the hot
tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the
power back on until your hot tub has been refilled. There are
certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your hot
tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors, freez-
ing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see “Winter-
izing,” page 72). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do
not leave the hot tub’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for
long periods.
!
Draining Procedures:
1. Turn off power to hot tub at breaker.
2. Locate the 3" gray drain valve cap on side of the hot
tub cabinet. Unscrew drain valve cap to expose the
underlying male garden hose fitting (Figures A-B).
3. Attach female garden hose end to drain fitting and
route opposite end of garden hose away from hot tub
(Figure B).
4. Pull outward on garden hose end at drain connection
(approx. 3/8") to open drain valve and release
water from hot tub (Figure C). Water drains at
approximately 3 gallons per minute.
5. After hot tub has drained, close drain valve by
pushing inward on garden hose end at drain
connection until you feel it bottom out. Remove
garden hose and install gray drain cap before refilling
hot tub.
Note:
The gray drain cap cannot be installed until the
drain valve is closed. Refer to “Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure” (page 17)
for recommended filling instructions.
