Winterizing Your Spa - Sunrise spas ultimate collection OM-SRULTIMATE-19 Guide D'utilisation

When Vacuuming Spa Lines:
1) Vacuum at all suctions in the foot well. This could be 2-6 suction depending on the model.
2) Vacuum at the heater input (union and gate valve), usually on the left of the equipment side of the spa.
Make sure to vacuum until you feel no more water coming out, then block the 2 cartridge mounts or block the Elite
or Teleweir opening.
Remove the cartridge(s). Thread plugs into the threaded cartridge mounts in the filter box. For Elite or Teleweir
filter system, remove the trim ring and weir. Cover the filter opening with rigid plastic and use something with
weight to hold it down and vacuum again at the heater input.
This will help draw water out of any lines connected to the spa pack, especially for spas that do not have a circ
pump.

WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

Cold climates, where danger of freezing exists, require special care on your part in order to prevent damage to the spa
shell and equipment. If you plan to use your spa during the cold months, be sure your pump is running frequently
enough to keep the water moving so that the heater will operate. It may be best to set your controls to keep the pump
on low speed at all times. This will keep the water from freezing and the heater will come on as the temperatures drop.
If you have a power outage, and cold temperatures are possible, your
spa and equipment could freeze, especially if it is mounted in a deck
without a cabinet. Ice in the spa and equipment will cause damage.
You should consider the need to have your spa professionally winterized if it is to be dormant
for a period. This is especially true if you are taking an extended winter vacation.
Follow the procedure below to help prevent damage to your
spa and related equipment:
1) Drain the spa of all water, as outlined in owner's manual. Shut off the spa's power supply.
2) Remove any remaining water with sponge. If you have a shop vac, try vacuuming as much water as possible
out of the jets and spa shell. If you cannot remove all of the water (especially from the air injectors) RV style or
plumbing system anti-freeze should be added to the injectors.
3) Remove spa equipment system and pump for storage inside. If this is not practical, use the shop vac again to
draw any water from the pump(s) casings. Remove lower casing drain plugs. Add anti-freeze to all pump
housings. (see note below)
