IV. SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Solana
®
spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the spa care and maintenance
program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa and its individual components will last. Regular maintenance and following the advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.
DRAINING THE WATER Detergent residues from bathing suits and soap film from your body may gradually accumulate in your spa’s water. Normally, in about four months the water will become sudsy and should be replaced. Showering without using soap prior to entering the spa or using only the rinse cycle when laundering your bathing suit will help to reduce detergent residue in the spa water. Important: Remember to change your water every three to four months. to dr a i n yo u r sP a : 1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by the appropriate method: Standard 115 volt, 20 amp model - Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle. Converted 115 volt, 30 amp models - Trip the GFCI breaker located in the sub-panel. 2. On the SX, remove the screws from the equipment access door and remove the door completely. Locate the main drain valve for the
spa and remove the drain cap. Attach the inlet of a garden hose to the drain valve (to avoid flooding of the foundation surrounding the spa) and route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area.
On the TX spa, locate the main drain valve on the left side of the spa and remove the drain cap. Attach the inlet of a garden hose to the
drain valve (to avoid flooding of the foundation surrounding the spa) and route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area.
NOTE: Spa water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grass. 3. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. The spa will drain almost completely by gravitational flow. Any remaining water
should be removed using a soft towel.
IMPORTANT: All Solana spa models will drain almost completely through the main drain valve. Use a soft towel to remove any
remaining water. Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system will drain. Any water remaining within the plumbing after draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.
4. When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required. (Follow the Care of the Exterior Finish instructions.)
