4. Open the valve and the spa will drain by gravitational flow.

5. Remove the threaded cap from the secondary drain. The remaining water (about 1 gallon) will drain from the bleedline

system.

6. Remove the filter cartridges, then clean and store the cartridges in a dry place.

IMPORTANT: Sponge out any residual water from inside the spa and the recesses of the filter compartments. Wipe all

surfaces dry.

7. Close the cover. If your spa has a vinyl cover, cover it with a large board to distribute the weight of snow and ice.

SERVICE NOTES:

• Leave the main drain valve open approximately 1/4 turn during the winterizing months.

• You may wish to remove the filter standpipe to facilitate draining of the filter compartment.

NOTE: Remove any debris present on the floor of the filter compartment prior to removal of the filter standpipe

(large debris may block freeze drain bleed lines if allowed to enter the plumbing lines). When replacing, do not

overtighten.

• To completely drain the internal plumbing, a wet / dry shop vac can be used to draw any remaining water through

the drain.

To Reactivate:

Reinstall the filter cartridges, close the main drain and reinstall the drain caps. Follow the Start-Up Procedures to make

your Hot Spring

Spa operational.

IMPORTANT: Always keep spa covered when not in use (empty or full).
