PREPARING FOR THE WINTER PERIOD
If it is not planned to use the Spa through the winter season or for prolonged periods of time, the
following operations should be done:
• Disconnect the electrical equipment, placing the differential switch tab in the OFF position.
• Locate the drain valve (see Drainage of the Spa) and turn the red lever of the valve to the OPEN
position. The Spa will empty by gravity through the general drain.
• Leave the drain valve open.
• Remove the filter cartridge/s from the filter (See Maintenance of the filter) and keep in a dry
place.
• Clean and dry the Spa.
• Cover the Spa.
Remember that when you drain your spa not all of the water runs off.
If your spa is not going to be used for long periods, especially in winter,
remove any stagnant water on the seats and on the bottom of the spa with a
sponge.
Any water remaining in the pipes can be sucked out through the water and
air nozzles using a liquid suction pump.
The pumps must also be emptied through the drain plug.
Do not leave water in the Spa without electrical connection outdoors at temperatures below 0ºC,
as the pipes can freeze and damage the Spa.
