12.2 Draining And Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want 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 prevent 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, freezing could occur in the lines or the
equipment (see “WINTERIZING” page 44). 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
(fig. A-B).
3. Attach female garden hose end to drain fitting
and route opposite end of garden hose away
from hot tub (fig. B).
4. Pull outward on garden hose end at drain con-
nection (approx. 3/8”) to open drain valve and
release water from hot tub (fig. 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 “Start-Up Instructions” (page 15) for recom-
mended filling instrucitons.
