6.When the spa is empty, close the valve and remove the garden hose. Re-attach the cap and return the drain hose to the clip inside the spa.

7.Re-attach the access panel.

8.Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals (see pages 10 and 14).

DRAINING THE PUMP

The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use. If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winter- ize the spa.

1.Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHER- APY SPA on the previous page and this page).

2.Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry the spa shell with towels.

3.Set the air control to the lowest setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle over each jet, starting with the highest jet and fin- ishing with the lowest jet.

4.Set the air control on the console to the highest setting and repeat step 3.

5.Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on this page). Once the water is drained from the pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water from the pump. Note: For additional protection, remove the pump/motor from the spa and store it in a climate-controlled room.

6.Clean the spa shell (see page 13).

7.Clean the filter (see page 13).

8.A licensed, qualified electrician should discon- nect the power from the 240V power source.

9.Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.

REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB

If the underwater light burns out, you will need to remove the access panel to replace it (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING ACCESS PANELS on page 14). Make sure that the power to the spa is turned off. Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.

After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 14), the jet pump should also be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Turn off the spa power. To drain the jet pump, first remove the access panel from the spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING ACCESS PANELS on page 14). Locate the jet pump inside the spa. Remove the drain plug from the jet pump and allow all of the water to drain. Re-attach the drain plug.

To replace the light bulb, pull the old light bulb out of the housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access panel to the spa.
