Winterizing & Storing Your Spa
Winterizing Your Spa
Many people find they enjoy using their spa more in the winter than any other time. Your spa is
designed to be used year round in any type of climate.
* However, if you decide you don't want to use your spa in the winter, you must drain it and fol-
low the winterizing steps listed below:
1.
Drain your spa completely using the drain valve (if so equipped) or use an inexpensive sub-
mersible pump that you can buy from your dealer or your local hardware store.
2. Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of your unit.
3. Remove access panels from equipment area.
4.
Loosen and disconnect all pump unions and heater unions.
5.
Remove winterizing plug from face of the pump(s) where applicable.
6. Using your shop vac in a blowing mode, insert the hose into the nozzle of each jet and blow
the trapped water from the lines into the interior of the spa. A non-toxic, RV water line type
antifreeze can be used and added to jets in each seat around your spa to help prevent freeze
damage from occurring. Be sure to thoroughly flush the system before startup.
7.
After this is completed, use the shop vac to remove any standing water in the spa and in the
equipment area.
8. Clean the spa with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner.
9.
Replace access panels.
10. Cover spa to prevent water from entering the spa.
* Disclaimer: Master Spas does not recommend winterizing your spa. If you choose to do
so, any damage that may result is not covered under the spa warranty.
Storing Your Spa
The spa shell should never be left unprotected and uninsulated while being stored. Clear plastic
wrap or similar material should never be used to cover/protect the spa.
Prolonged, direct sun heat can damage the surfaces of the spa along with any components on the
spas surface. Always keep the spa covered and protected with an insulating spa cover. Resulting
damage such as cracking in the shell surface or warped or discolored components on the spa shell
would not be warranted.
An empty spa should never be exposed to temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) after delivery as
extreme cold can cause shell damage. This includes storage and draining (winterizing). If your spa
can be exposed to these temperatures, keep the unit filled and running. If you do not plan to use
your spa, you can set the spa to the lowest temperature setting allowed by the control system.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines will void the warranty.
