MAINTENANCE
SPA DRAINING
Every 3 to 4 months, depending upon water condition, you may need
to r
enew the spa water. To drain your spa, power must be disconnect-
ed at the circuit breaker. Locate the drain faucet inside the spa cabinet
(for Viking I & II models) or on the corner near the bottom of the side
panel next to the equipment (for all other models). 1. Twist cap off and
attach a garden hose to the opening. 2. Turn the outside body counter
clockwise until it stops. 3. Pull on the drain that the hose is connected
to until you hear a pop. 4. Drain the spa. 5. Reverse this procedure to
shut the water off. Note: the drain will not remove all of the water in
the spa. You may have to remove a small amount of water by hand.
SPA SURFACE CARE
Do not use abrasive solvents or cleaners to clean spa surfaces.
Consult your Viking Spa Retailer for the proper cleaners and detergents.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (90 days or more)
If you are not going to use your spa for an extended period of time, drain
it as described above. You will also have to drain the pump. Water left in
the spa during long-term storage may cause freeze damage.*
To drain the pump, remove the drain plug from the face of the pump.
Additional water removal is required to prevent freeze damage to the
spa plumbing assembly. Remove the piping assembly between the
pump and the heater by loosening the union at the pump and the union
at the heater. Once the piping is removed, use a wet/dry shop vac to
vacuum water from both the pump side and the heater side openings.
Once all water is removed from these lines, we also recommend that
you place the vacuum over each jet and the suction fittings and vacuum
any remaining water that may be trapped in these lines.
You may now
reinstall the piping assembly that was removed earlier and reinstall the
pump plug.
