Your spa should be drained every four to six months, for cleaning and maintenance. This interval for
most swim spa owners is every 6 months, as swim spas have more water volume compared to a reg-
ular hot tub, this varies based on bather load. Every time the spa is emptied it must lled with fresh
tap water. Avoid leaving your swim spa empty of water. Before you begin turn the power o to the
spa at the breaker and remove your lters, perform lter maintenance as well to not introduce con-
taminants in your new spa water.
Note - For Olympian swim spas, the small spa side should be drained and lled every 2-3 months.
This interval is based on bather load and water testing information, unique to each spa owner.
