Regular Maintenance Procedures

Note: These are areas that will require the spa owner to perform routine maintenance. These are not
areas covered under the warranty of the spa.
Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recom-
mended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days or as necessary. Heavy bather load will
require cleaning it more often.
DRAINING YOUR SPA
• The spas are equipped with a drain assembly which can be located on the front side of the spa
behind the skirt (same side as the topside control panel or where most of the spa equipment is
located). Location varies by model. The drain will either be mounted to the front, right corner at
the base of the frame (Figure 1) or will be located in the equipment area behind the front skirt
panel (Figure 2).
Figure 1
Figure 2: Access to the drain can be gained by removing both front corner skirt panels. To do so,
remove the screws or thumbscrews from the corner panels. Next, remove the front skirt panel
by removing its panel screws. The drain will be located inside the equipment bay (see Figure 2 &
Figure 2.1). To start the flow of water with this drain assembly; remove the cap, twist the face
counterclockwise and pull out slightly on the face. A garden hose can be attached to the end of
the drain assembly, if so desired.
Figure 2
NOTE:
• With the cap removed from the drain; water may drip or weep from the drain. This is normal. Be
sure that the steps are followed in reverse order when draining is finished. Make sure that the
drain cap is reattached and the valve is put back to the fully closed position so that there is no
water leaking from the drain assembly.
• Draining times will vary by model using the drain assembly. A sump pump may also be used to
expedite the draining of the spa.
DO NOT DIVE. DO NOT DIVE.
Figure 1: Access to the drain can be gained by removing the
panel screws or thumb screws from the front, right corner
panel. The drain should be mounted at the base of the corner
as shown in Figure 1. If your model does not have a drain
located in the base of the corner, proceed to the steps for
Figure 2.
Grasp the drain cap, and pull the assembly out as far as it will
go. Unscrew the cap from the assembly. Push the drain back
in midway to start the flow of water. A garden hose can be
attached to the end of the drain assembly, if so desired.
