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.
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.
