11.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The fre- quency depends on a number of variables including the amount of use, atten- tion paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water balance mea- surements are all within the proper parameters.
WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to the spa’s components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your spa has been refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see “WINTER- IZING”, Page 34. On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
