EXAMPLE:
1000 liters divided by 13.5 divided by 2 = 37 days.
The hot tub water must be changed when the amount of dissolved solids
become excessive, and is usually indicated by “gray” or dull looking water.
WATER SOFTENERS
Never fill a hot tub with water from a water softener, as it could adversely
affect the water chemistry, making it difficult to maintain proper water
balance. If you live in an area with hard or soft water, give careful attention
to your Calcium Hardness level. Topping Up with soft water is acceptable.
EACH TIME BEFORE FILLING THE SPA
1. Check to be sure that the drain shut off valve is closed (turn handle clockwise until it stops)
2. Check that the safety cap is securely in place.
3. If the drain valve is facing a wall, leave enough space between the valve and wall (6” minimum) in order
to have enough space to connect a garden hose.
TO DRAIN THE SPA
1. Turn Power Off
Turn the power off at the spa consoles and deactivate disconnect switches at the GFCI plug or load center.
2. Locate Spa Drain Valve
The spa drain valve is located on the side of the cabinet for the SE4L and SE5L models, all other models
have the drain valve located in the equipment area behind the front panel
3. Remove Drain Valve Safety Cap
Pull the drain valve completely out. Remove the safety drain cap and store for use when refilling your spa.
Attach a standard garden hose to the drain valve.
4. Attach Hose & Drain
With the garden hose attached push the drain valve in so that the hose is flush with the drain. To stop draining
the tub simply reverse the process by pulling the drain completely out, installing the drain valve safety cap
and pushing the drain in fully. Make sure you do not force the drain in so that it is properly aligned.
