Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have
your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help
reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you nd the need to drain your spa, be aware of the potential of freezing in your
spas equipment and plumbing. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no
guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered by your
warranty.
1. Remove the lter baskets and lters.
2. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above.
3. Vacuum water from the spa’s main drain and from the jets with a wet/dry vacuum.
4. Open the bleeder valves on the pumps.
5. Disconnect the unions from both sides of all pumps.
6. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area with the wet/dry vacuum.
7. When the spa has completely nished draining, close the bleeder valves and re-connect the unions on all
pumps. Replace the lters and lter baskets.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.
Vacation Care
You can leave your spa unattended for up to two weeks if you follow these instructions.
ALWAYS lock your cover using the cover locks if you plan to be away from home and the spa is
lled with water.
1. Select the Low Range temp choice used for vacation mode. (See instructions on page 19 or page 28 for
vacation setting.)
2. Adjust the pH.
3. Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine sanitizer).
4. When you return, check and adjust the pH and shock the water.
If you will not be using your spa for longer than 14 days and a spa maintenance service is not available, we
strongly recommend you drain or winterize your spa.
