EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS
Draining and Filling the Spa
The average spa needs to be drained every three to
four months. After months of continually adding
chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and
lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and
chemicals are not as effective as usual. You may also
notice excessive foaming. A maintenance reminder
appears on the control panel as “CH” to remind you
to change water. More frequent draining may be
required depending on use. If you are using a Na-
ture
2
Spa Mineral Purifier, it should be replaced every
four months. Use that as a benchmark to drain and
refill the spa at least that often.
NOTE: If you need to drain prior to four months,
remove the Nature
2
, rinse thoroughly, and replace
after you have filled the spa. The Nature
2
continues
to work for the remainder of the four month period.
1. Leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of
water leakage around the pump(s). Pump seals
wear out over time, especially with improper water
chemistry. Early detection of pump seal failure can
significantly reduce repair costs.
2. Ozonator Operation
Check to see if the bulb is lighted. Run spa in low-
speed. The end caps of the ozonator should have
a green glow if functioning properly. If not, the bulb
has burned out. Contact your dealer for service.
3. Draining the Spa Using the External Drain
and Fill Connection
A. Turn off the power to the spa.
B. Remove the hose bib plug from the external
drain and fill connection and attach a hose.
C. Open the drain valve in the equipment
compartment. (See EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM.)
Gravity causes the water to drain out of
the hose.
D. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve
and remove the hose. Reinstall the hose
bib plug.
