MAINTAINING YOUR SPA
DRAINING YOUR SPA
Your spa needs to be drained, cleaned, waxed, and refilled about every 
six months.  More frequent water changes may be necessary if bather 
load is heavy.  A hose bib has been provided below the left side of your 
front access panel, to assist you in draining your spa.
1)  Turn off the power to your spa. If 
you fail to turn the power off, vital 
components could be damaged. Do 
not leave an empty spa exposed for 
long periods of time in hot, sunny 
weather.
2)  Attach your garden hose to the hose 
bib. 
3)  Place the other end of the hose in 
an area that will accept the  water 
capacity of your spa. 
4)  Open the hose bib by turning the valve knob counter-clockwise to 
the full stop position.
5)  Check the garden hose end to see if water is flowing. If water is not 
flowing, check the hose for kinks. Also check to see if valve is in the full 
open position.
CAUTION: The chemical content and temperature of the water will 
cause damage to certain vegetation. We do not recommend that 
you drain your spa onto plants or lawns. If you choose to do this, 
please remove your spa cover and allow spa to cool for a minimum 
of 24 hours with the spa turned off.
PILLOW CARE
Remove and clean the pillows with soapy water and a soft cloth when 
needed.  Use a vinyl conditioner once a month.  Remove pillows when 
doing chemical shock treatment.
