Low-Use or No-Use Periods
During certain times of the year, you may not use the spa on a
frequent basis. For these low-use or no-use periods, consider the
following:
No Use for Two to Six Weeks
If the spa will not be used for at least two weeks, lower the
temperature to the lowest setting of 80 F (26°C) or place in low
range heat mode. Lowering the temperature will cut the cost
of operation, however; you will need to adjust the temperature
setting approximately 4 hours before use in order to heat the spa
to 100 F (38°C).
IMPORTANT: During all low and no-use periods, be sure
to maintain the spa water as per the instructions in the Water
Chemistry section.
IMPORTANT: For all no-use periods, and on a weekly
basis, be sure to have someone visually check that the spa is
functioning correctly and to also maintain the spa water as per
the instructions under the Water Chemistry section. Not doing
so may lead to corrosion, staining, and/or scaling to the spa and
its equipment. During periods of freezing temperatures, a spa
that has malfunctioned may be subject to damaged plumbing
or equipment as a result of ice buildup within the spa. If the
spa cannot be checked and maintained on a weekly basis, then
consider winterizing the spa.
No Use for Over Six Weeks
When you are not planning to use the spa for six or more weeks,
or when someone is not able to maintain the spa on a weekly
basis, you should use Away mode. For extended absences you may
also choose to winterize the spa. To winterize, follow these steps:
Winterization
WARNING: Prior to winterizing your spa, it will be necessary
to super sanitize the spa water as per the instructions in the
Water Chemistry section. is procedure will help prevent the
growth of bacteria, algae and fungi in any areas of plumbing that
may not be fully free of water after you drain your spa for its
period of winterization.
NOTE: Your spa is equipped with a freeze protection mode.
When potentially freezing outside temperatures are detected your
control system will turn on to check the water temperature. If
heating is necessary to protect from freeze conditions your spa may
turn on and heat to a safe temperature. A notication will display
on the main control screen indicating this mode is engaged.
Step 1: Drain the water.
Step 2: If your spa is equipped with JetPaks, open all lower
valves to allow the water to drain from each pak as you drain the
spa. Once the water is completely out of the spa then close each
valve before proceeding to step 3.
Step 3: Use a shop vacuum to vacuum the plumbing lines by
placing the vacuum nozzle over each of the lower jet faces in the
spa. Lower jets are any jets located at or below the bench seat area.
Step 4: Remove the drain plug from the pump(s) and loosen all
PVC pipe unions in the equipment compartment. Do not replace
the plugs or tighten the unions until the spa is de-winterized.
Step 5: Clean the spa shell and JetPaks (if equipped).
Step 6: Remove lter cartridge(s), clean, and reinstall.
Step 7: Secure the cover to the spa utilizing the tie downs and
locking system. In areas where heavy snow is anticipated, place a
large piece of plywood (or its equivalent) on top of the spa cover
to assist in supporting the cover with the added weight of the
snow. Remove snow o the cover following each snow storm.
WARNING: To avoid water from becoming trapped between
the oor suction tting and the lter pipe . Use a wet/dry vacuum
to remove the remaining water out of pipe by placing the vacuum
end over the lter hole. In a two-pump spa, rst plug o one
lter using a tennis ball then vacuum out the water. Or pour ½-1
gallons (5-9 liters) of RV antifreeze into the lter hole.
NOTE: RV antifreeze is nontoxic and does not require
evacuation at start up.
Spa De-Winterization
To de-winterize the spa, reverse the winterization procedure.
Rell to the water level mark.
WARNING: Whenever relling the spa, it will be necessary
to Super Sanitize the new spa water. Instructions are found in the
Water Chemistry section.
