FILLING & DRAINING
Empty, clean, and refill your Softub Spa with clean water 2-3 times per
year or when proper water chemistry becomes difficult to manage.
Always unplug the Hydromate before draining the tub. If you pump
water out of the spa, do not allow the suction end of the hose to contact
the vinyl - this may damage the vinyl and void your warranty.
Your tub should be drained using a siphon, or a submersible pump
(available from your dealer or local Softub service center).
To drain your tub using a siphon; submerge a clean hose with no sharp
edges in your Softub until you are sure all air has escaped from the
hose. Before lifting one end of the submerged hose out of the water,
plug an end with your finger and drape the hose over the outside of the
spa tub, remove your finger from the hose end and it will begin draining.
Use a sponge to remove any remaining water.
Never fill a Softub with water over 104º F/40º C. To reduce the time
needed for the initial warm up, warm household water may be used,
provided you are not using a water softening device connected to your
household water supply. If your home is equipped with a water
softening device, bypass the device while filling your Softub. Softened
water is considered chemically treated and causes difficulty in
balancing water chemistry and should not be used to fill your Softub.
Fill the spa slowly (over a period of a few hours). This allows your
home’s water heater to recover and supply enough warm water.
