6.Re-attach the access panel.

7.Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals (see pages 10 and 13).

DRAINING THE PUMPS

After the hydrotherapy spa is drained, the jet pumps should also be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freez- ing temperatures.

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.Make sure the power to the spa is turned off.

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

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

4.Set the air controls 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.

5.Set the air controls to the highest setting and repeat step 3.

6.Drain the pumps (see DRAINING THE PUMPS on this page). Once the water is drained from the pumps, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage hole in the pumps and vacuum any additional water from the pumps. Note: For additional pro- tection, remove the pumps/motors from the spa and store them in a climate-controlled room.

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

8.Clean the filters (see page 13).

9.Shut the power off at the breaker. Label the breaker in such a way that the breaker will not be turned on accidentally.

10. 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 THE ACCESS PANEL on page 14). Make sure the spa power is turned off. Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
