Care of the Hot Tub Cover

The thermal cover for your hot tub is an extremely durable foam insulated product. See the manufacturer’s literature for proper cleaning instructions. When the hot tub is not in use, it is recommended that the cover tie downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised children and minimize heat loss. Small locks are also available for the cover tie downs. In either case, these locking methods are not considered adequate to keep unauthorized people from entering the hot tub.

Special Cold Weather Instructions

Slipping into your steamy water on a snowy, winter night is a refreshing experience. Many times, people who could never imagine being outside in winter weather, find themselves spending their winter nights doing just that, while relaxing in their hot tub with family and friends. Therefore, the best winterizing tips of all are to enjoy use of your system year-round.

All systems manufactured by Dimension One Spas are designed for rigorous winter use. They are insulated to keep operating costs down and to protect plumbing and equipment whenever the products are operational. Each product line incorporates freeze protection mode to maintain water circulation during freezing conditions whenever the system has proper electrical power and water level. Therefore, a fully operational system is your number one defense against freeze damage.

If you find it completely necessary to drain your water during the winter months, in an area where freezing conditions may exist, please adhere to all of the instructions in this section to minimize the risk of freeze damage. Failure to complete any of the steps satisfactorily will increase the chance of freeze damage, as small amounts of water trapped in pipes will expand as it freezes, and may result in damaged plumbing lines or fittings.

Dimension One Spas does not recommend that you drain your system for the winter. Freeze damage caused by winterizing your system is specifically not covered by Your Warranty.

Items Required for Winterizing

Phillips head screwdriver

16” (40.6 cm) Channel-lock pliers

High pressure air blower

Commercial grade wet-vacuum

3 gallons (11.37 liters) to 6 gallons (22.74 liters) of Non-Toxic Antifreeze

Strong, able-bodied people capable of lifting system Into upright position

Enough time (and patience) to perform all steps.

Procedure for Winterizing

1.Shut the power off to the system and make sure that it cannot be accidentally turned back on.

2.Remove filter elements from filter assembly.

3.Drain water from the system using the drain fitting and garden hose or you may use a submersible pump for faster draining.

4.Open the equipment compartment and locate pumps and heater.

5.Remove all of the drain plugs from each pump.

6.Loosen unions on both sides of each pump, and the heater if applicable.

7.If your system has a Dynamic Jet Sequencer, please remove that access panel as well and loosen all unions on each of the sequencer valves. There are 6 sequencer valves, that means that you will have to loosen 12 unions.
