STORING & TRANSPORTING
The Softub is designed to either be in continuous use, with regular
chemical maintenance and care or completely drained, dried and
properly stored. Improper storage of the tub can cause damage and is
not covered under the warranty. If you are leaving your tub for more
than one week, or do not plan on using it, remove the filter and drain
your system completely. Turn the Hydromate so that the hoses are
facing down and allow all water to drain from the internal plumbing.
Turn the tub on its side and roll it back and fourth to remove any water
from the internal plumbing. Wipe out any residual water from the inside
of your tub, wiping down the walls and floor of the tub. Failure to do so
may cause water in the internal plumbing to freeze in cold climates and
severely damage your Softub.
You may save the original shipping carton from the tub and Hydromate
for storing and transporting. The tub must be stored horizontally with
the lid off in a well ventilated area.
IMPORTANT! Be sure nothing is placed on top of the tub when it is
stored away. Do not store empty in sunlight.
For transporting, ideally the tub should be in its original shipping
container and securely tied down. The use of a strapping device of at
least 1 ½” wide is recommended. A tarp may be needed to spread out
tension. If boxes are not available, straps must be sufficient to prevent
the Softub from falling out of the vehicle. Do not apply excessive
strapping tension as to cause any permanent markings on the vinyl or
the structure
WATER LEVEL
Always keep the water level at least 2 inches above the top jet. This will
ensure that the jets do not spray water out of the tub, as well as not
overworking the motor. When properly filled the interior lid surfaces
should not contact spa water.
