Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always have your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spa’s equipment.

Warning: If you find the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in your spas equipment and plumbing.. Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage..

Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty..

1.Open all filter covers.

2.Remove the filter baskets and filters.

3.Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above.

4.Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps.

5.Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump.

6.Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area.

Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa.

Cleaning the Cover, Shell and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.

Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner

Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used sparingly. Incorrect usage may cause water clarity issues.

Spa Covers

1.Remove spa cover from spa.

2.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

3.Spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner to cover evenly and wipe dry.

4.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

5.Reinstall cover on spa.

Pillows

1.Wipe pillows dry with a soft cloth.

2.Carefully spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner directly onto pillow.

3.Wipe pillows dry.

4.Allow pillows to dry completely.

Warning: Do not use automotive

vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.
