These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty. 17 To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps: 1. Set the temperature control on the console to the lowest setting. 2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI. 3. Remove the access cover from the back of the spa unit. 4. Remove the drainage hose from the clip and attach a garden hose to the valve on the drainage hose. Drain HoseValve Knob Cap 5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. The water will begin to drain. 6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and remove the garden hose. Return the drainage hose to the clip and replace the access cover. 7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals (see pages 9, 12 and 17). DRAINING THE PUMP After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 17), the pump in the spa jet unit should also be drained if the hydrotherapy spa will be stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures. To drain the pump, remove the access cover from the spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on page 17). Locate the pump inside the spa unit. Drain Plug Pump Remove the drain plug from the pump. Tip the spa jet unit slightly, until all the water has drained from the pump. Replace the drain plug. OPENING AND CLOSING THE CUT-OFF VALVES For minor repairs to the pump/motor, the cut-off valves can be closed. To close the valves, remove the access cover from the back of the spa unit. Locate both cut-off valves. Push the handles into the closed position and turn the handles until they lock into place. Cut-off Valve Cut-off Valve If you are planning to work on the pump/motor, you will also need to drain the pump (see this page). To open the valves, turn the handles until they are unlocked, and pull the handles out to the open position. WINTER USE AND CARE The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use. If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa. 1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on pages 17 and 18). 2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry the spa shell with towels. 3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one. 4. Set the air control on the console to the highest setting and repeat step 3. 5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on page 18). Once the water has drained from the pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water from the pump. Note: For additional protection you can remove the pump/motor from the spa to store it in a climate controlled room. 6. Clean the spa shell (see page 16). 7. Clean the filter (see page 19). 8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the power cord from the 240 volt power source. 9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa cover. 18 CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. To check or clean the filter, it is necessary to remove the basket and the two filter cartridges from the filter housing. Removing and Cleaning the Basket: 1. Turn off the power. 2. Pull the weir door towards you until it is fully open. 3. Reach into the basket with four fingers and pull the basket towards you until it snaps free. 4. Lift the basket out of the housing by pulling on the handle on the far side and turning the basket towards you. 5. Clean the basket by spraying it with a garden hose or holding it under a faucet. Note: Avoid hitting the basket against objects to clean it, since this may break the basket. 6. Put the basket back into the housing and press down until it snaps into place. 7. Close the weir door. Removing and Cleaning the Filter Cartridges: 1. Follow steps one through four above to remove the basket. 2. Reach into the housing and turn the valve on the diverter until it is fully open. 3. Stick two fingers into the holes in the diverter and lift the diverter and the top filter cartridge directly upwards until the edge of the diverter clears the housing. Then turn the diverter towards you and pull it out. In this process, the diverter may come out of the filter cartridge. If so, reach into the housing and lift the filter cartridge out. 4. Lift the lower filter cartridge out of the housing. 5. Clean the filter cartridges with a garden hose or under a faucet. Spray from top to bottom of each pleat. Note: To avoid damage to the cartridges, do not use a brush to clean them. 6. To remove body oils or sun tan lotions, soak the cartridges in a cleaning solution which can be obtained from a pool and spa supply store. 7. Inspect the ...
