DRAINING YOUR SPA

1. Turn off all GFCI breakers in sub-panel, or main electrical panel.

2. Locate the main drain valve (bottom front) for the spa. Pull on

handle (Figure 1, pliers may

be used to pull handle) until

you reach the mid position

then rotate handle slightly to

fully extended drain tube (drain

cap and 1” of the drain tube

is exposed) (Figure 2) then

remove the drain cap

(Figure 3).

NOTE: Do not remove drain

cap in mid position. Attach

the garden hose to the end

of the drain (to avoid flooding

of the foundation surrounding

the spa) making sure not to

push the drain tube inward.

Route the outlet of the hose to an

appropriate draining area.

NOTE: Spa water with a high

sanitizer level may harm plants

and grass.

3. Push the garden hose and drain

tube half-way back towards the

spa (Figure 4) which will start the

gravitational flow. Drain tube

must be in the mid position for

the spa to drain.

IMPORTANT: All models will

drain almost completely through

the drain valve. Equipment such

as the jet pump and heating

system may not completely

drain. Any water remaining within the plumbing or equipment after

draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.

4. After your spa is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridge.

5. Pull and remove garden hose, replace drain cap and push drain

tube back into spa as seen in Figure 1.

6. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your spa.

PREVENTION OF FREEZING

Your spa has been designed and engineered for year-round use in

any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures (below -12°C)

(10°F) combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of the jet

pump, even though the water inside the spa remains at the selected

temperature. The energy efficiency of the spa may also decrease during

these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more frequently. As an

additional precaution against partial freezing of some of the components,

the equipment compartment can be insulated with an insulating kit (P/N

31399) available from your local dealer. This insulating kit will also help

to maximize the spa’s energy efficiency.

NOTE: When warmer weather returns (approx. 16°-21°C) (60°-70°F),

the insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet

pump.

WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

If you leave the spa unused for a long period of time in severely cold

weather, you should drain the spa and winterize it to avoid accidental

freezing due to a power or equipment failure.

DANGER: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze (available

at most RV or marine supply stores). This is non-toxic. Never use an

automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it is toxic!

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions correctly can lead to

freeze damage not covered by warranty. It is strongly recommended

that you contact your local dealer to perform this service.

1. Drain your spa following the Draining Your Spa section in the

owner’s manual.

2. Remove the filter cartridge, clean and store in a dry place.

IMPORTANT: These additional instructions must be utilized

when draining and winterizing your spa in climates where the

temperature falls below 0°C (32°F). A 20 liter combination (vacuum/

blower) wet/dry shop vac must be used to effectively remove water

that is trapped inside the plumbing lines.

3. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum side of the shop vac.

Vacuum all openings and orifices as follows:

a. Jet openings: start with the jets at the top and move

downward (if suction is coming from another jet, block off the

other jet using a large rag – this will help pull out the water that

is trapped deeper inside the main line).

b. Filter suction fittings and filter compartment.

c. Main drain outlet (it may be necessary to cover the drain grate

tightly with a rag when vacuuming the main drain to ensure

water is drawn completely from the internal plumbing system).

4. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.

5. Remove pump door first. Once door is removed unscrew the pump

drain plugs located on the front of the pump housing. Allow all

water to drain out. Place the drain plugs in a ziplock bag and store

near the pumps. Replace the drain plugs on Start-up.

6. Unscrew the pump unions and allow the water to drain. Loosen

and remove hose attached to circulation pump to allow any

remaining water from heater and spa to drain out. Replace

circulation pump hose once water is drained. NOTE: Tighten the

pump unions prior to filling the spa.

7. Replace the main drain cap.

8. Using a long-extension funnel, pour anti-freeze into all standpipes,

filter suction fittings, jet orifices and water feature orifices. Also,

add anti-freeze to the FROG canister. Add enough anti-freeze to

ensure adequate protection – in many cases, you will see the liquid

in the orifice, or coming out of another location.

CAUTION: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze. This is

non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol)

since it is toxic!

9. Close the spa cover and fasten the cover tie downs. Cover the spa

cover with two pieces of plywood to evenly distribute the weight of

snow and ice. Secure a plastic sheet, or tarp, over the spa cover

and plywood.

10. Replace the equipment access door, if removed.

OPENING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. Open the spa cover by

unfastening the cover tie downs.

2. Follow the Start-up Procedures in the Getting Started section of

the Owner’s Manual. Do not install filters to prevent them from

exposure to the anti-freeze.
