INSTRUCTIONS
Your spa is designed for year round use and winter opera- tion. Winter is also perhaps the most enjoyable season for spa use. We also recommend continuous operation throughout the winter months because it is very difficult to get water out of all of the plumbing lines. If for some reason you must close down your spa in the winter we recommend you win- terize it as follows:
1.Drain your spa completely. You may tip your spa on edge and use a wet vacuum or blower to evacuate as much water as possible from the spa. The idea is to get all the water out of the plumbing lines and equipment.
WARNING
Any damage caused to the spa by freezing, once it has been drained for the winter, is not covered by warranty.
2.Once the spa is completely drained, open the hose bib and loosen the unions to allow the water to expend freely within the system. Also, remove the drain plug on the bottom of the pump. This should prevent any ice from expanding and damaging drainpipes and fittings. The key is to eliminate any sealed areas in the system that may contain water. Your local pool and spa retailer may provide this service at a nom- inal fee.
3.If you receive a heavy snowfall during the winter, you may want to build a temporary cover over the top of your spa. This can be done with 1/2” sheets of plywood supported by 2’ x 4’ cross members.
