12.2 Draining and Relling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the swim spa’s water. The frequency de-
pends on a number of variables including the amount of use, number of users, attention
paid to water quality maintenance etc. During this time, it is also recommended that you
clean the internal plumbing lines from buildup and debris.
DRAINING YOUR SWIM SPA
REFER TO FIGURE 1 & FIGURE 2
1. Locate nearest drain facility (Check your local bylaws).
2. Attach backwash hose to hose bib located on plumbing line beside the swim spa
control system.
3. Run backwash hose to drain location.
4. Open ball valve.
5. Close ltration pump return gate valve next to the ball valve (this directs the water
out the backwash hose).
6. Activate the circ pump.
7. Monitor the swim spa while it drains.
8. Use a second garden hose to wash down interior surface as the swim spa continues
to drain. A sponge may also be used to wipe down the interior surface.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to the swim spa compo-
nents, turn o power to the swim spa at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn
the power back on until your swim spa has been relled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your swim spa. If
it is extremely cold, and the swim spa in outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the
equipment (see WINTERIZING). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the
swim spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
