Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and refilled with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method for draining your spa.

1.Turn off the power at the breaker.

2.Remove all filters.

If your drain valve is mounted on the side of the spa cabinet as shown at right, proceed to step 5.

If your drain valve is located inside the spa cabinet:

3.Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the access panel and open it.

4.Locate hose ending with the 3/4 inch hose-bib fixture.

5.Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting.

6.Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.

7.Twist the hose-bib fixture counterclockwise and pull to open the drain.

8.Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose.

9.Twist the hose-bib fixture clockwise to close it.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.

See the section “Water Clarity” for more information on cleaning your filter.
