Winterizing and De-Winterizing Your Spa
1. Unplug spa, or turn off power at the GFCI
circuit breaker before draining or servicing
your spa.
2. Open access door, or remove exterior resin pan-
els by prying out decorative plugs and unscrewing
screws (Fig. 1).
3. Attach a garden hose to the drain and open the
blue ball valve (Fig. 2). Water will start to drain.
You may have some water left in the spa shell that
did not drain. Remove it with a wet-vac or by hand
with a small cup.
Water drained from your spa is safe to dispose of in your
yard, septic system or in a drain. Follow all local/municipal
codes and regulations for disposal.
4. Loosen all large white unions from heater and
pump to let excess water drain from the lines (Fig.
3). There will be 4 unions.
5. After the spa has drained, you MUST also use a
wet-vac to remove the water from the lines by
vacuum/suction. Water left in the lines and jets will
freeze and damage them. To adequately clean out
the lines, place the wet-vac for 10-15 seconds
over: each drain (Fig. 4); each union (Fig. 5); each
jet face (Fig. 6); each suction (Fig. 7); and the filter
cavity (Fig. 8). See filter removal procedure.
6. Tighten all unions and make sure all gate valves are
open with clips insatalled (Fig. 3).
7. Pour a gallon of spa antifreeze into the top of each
pump (Fig. 9) and a gallon into the filter cavity (Fig.
10).
8. Replace all exterior panels.
9. Close your spa cover.
