DRAINING YOUR SPA If you don’t plan to use the spa in freezing conditions, go ahead and drain it completely before the first chance of a hard freeze. This is not a task you want to tackle in frosty conditions, so be sure to get a jump on the harshest weather. You must be certain ALL of the water is removed – including remnants in the pump lines and jets. |  | | | |
The following steps will ensure safe, effective shutdown of your unit for the winter: Disconnect the spa from the power supply. Remove the screws holding your spa access panel door. Open the valve. The spa will drain by gravity flow. Remove the filter cartridge. Clean it and store in a dry place. Attach a wet/dry shop vacuum (capable of blowing air as well as vacuuming) into the filter housing. Turn the blower on and allow it to propel any remaining water through the plumbing lines. This should take about five minutes. Reinstall the filter housing. Use the shop vacuum to remove the water inside the spa that was pushed through the jets. Towel dry any remaining water from the spa, until it is completely dry. Leave the drain open. Close the spa cover and fasten with tie down safety locks.
