MAINTAINING THE SPA
Draining the Spa
The spa needs to be drained, cleaned, and refilled about every six months. More
frequent water changes may be necessary if bather load is heavy. A hose bib has been
provided to assist in draining the spa.
Figure 9. Hose Bib Opening Instructions
1) Turn off the power to the spa. Failing to turn the power off, could cause vital
components to be damaged. Do not leave an empty spa exposed for long
periods of time in hot, sunny weather.
2) Pull tab and then turn counter clockwise till cap is removed.
3) Connect the hose to hose bib.
4) Pull hose bib out to ensure opening of nozzle/drain plug.
5) Check the garden hose end to see if water is flowing. If water is not flowing,
check the hose for kinks. Also check to see if the valve is in the full open position.
CAUTION: The chemical content and temperature of the water may cause damage
to certain vegetation. Draining the spa onto plants or lawns is not recommended.
When choosing to do this, please remove the spa cover and allow spa to cool for
a minimum of 24 hours with the spa turned off.
