13.2 Draining and Refilling
About every 3 months, you will want to replace the spa’s water. The
frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount of
use, number of users, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc.
During this time, it is also recommended that you use Jacuzzi’s Jet Line
Cleaner to clean the internal plumbing lines from buildup and debris.
Note: Jacuzzi chemicals are for use in the U.S. only.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent dam-
age to the spas components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit
breaker before draining it. Do not turn the power back on until your
spa has been relled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is out-
doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see
“WINTERIZING,” page 58). On the other hand, if it is hot out-
doors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
A. To drain your spa, perform the following steps (standard drain):
1. Turn off power to spa at breaker.
2. Locate the drain valve located on the front
left corner on the black plastic pan. Hold the
larger (rear) drain valve body to prevent it
from turning, then loosen and remove the
front cap to expose the underlying male hose
threads, Figure 13.2a.
3. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads,
Figure 13.2b.
4. Gently rotate the larger (rear) valve body 1/3 turn
counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve, Figure
13.2c.
5. Pull the larger (rear) body outward as shown
to open drain, Figure 13.2d.
6. After the spa drains, perform steps 2-5 in reverse
order to close the drain prior to relling spa.
After relling, turn on power to the spa and follow the
steps listed under “Spa Fill Up Procedures” (page 17).
Always ll your spa through both lter buckets.
