Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops 
below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always 
have your spa full of water and running at normal spa 
temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This 
will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and 
your spa’s equipment.
Warning:Ifyoundtheneedtodrainyourspa,
please be aware of the potential of freezing in 
your spas equipment and plumbing. Even if the 
directions below are followed perfectly, there 
is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer 
freeze damage.
Freeze  damage  is  not  covered  by  your  war-
ranty.
Open all lter covers.1. 
Remove the lter baskets and lters.2. 
Drain your spa completely as described in the in-3. 
structions above.
Remove  drain  plugs  from  the  front  of  the 4. 
pumps.
Disconnect  the  unions  from  both  sides  of  the 5. 
pump.
Use a wet/dry  vacuum to blow  any remaining 6. 
water out of the jets and equipment area.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-
weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow 
enters the spa.
Installing Cover Latches
You will need a drill with a 3/32” drill bit and a Phillips screwdriver. 
Your cover will have four clips attached to the ends of the four latches, two on each end of the spa cover. 
There will also be a small bag with 12 screws. 
Place the cover on the spa with the latches placed 1. 
where you want to mount them on the spa.
Using the latch clips as a guide, drill three 2. 
holes for the mounting screws.
Insert three screws in the latch clip and fasten it to the spa shell. 3. 
Make sure they are snug, but do not overtighten them. Do the 
same for the remaining latches. Drill and attach latch clips to the 
shell one at a time.
When you have nished inserting 4. 
all of the screws, use the latch 
key to unlock the cover latches.
