12.2 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, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
CAUTION! READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING: To prevent damage to the spa’s 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 refilled.
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your spa. If it is extremely cold, and the spa is outdoors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment, see “WINTER-
IZING” (page 38). On the other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight.
To drain your spa, perform the following steps (actual drain may vary from one shown). Turn off power to spa at breaker.
1. Locate and remove the synthetic cabinet and screws. The cabinet is located directly below the control panel.
2. Cut zip tie(s) and pull drain hose from equipment area (Figure A).
3. Hold drain hose above water line, then unthread drain cap (1) from hose using a counterclockwise rotation (Figure B). Place drain hose on ground to start drain, making sure to direct water away from spa. If equipped, turn valve (2) counterclockwise to open the valve
(Figure C).
4. After spa is drained, reinstall drain cap on drain hose fitting until finger tight! If equipped, turn valve (2) clockwise to close the valve. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
5. Coil drain hose up and place back inside the spa equipment bay (Fig. A).
6. Reinstall synthetic cabinet and screws, then refer to the “Spa Fill Up Procedure” (page 17).

12.3 Pillow Care
Remove and clean each headrest by gently grasping both ends in each hand and pulling upward to release each pillow “snap.” To reinstall, simply “snap” each pillow back into place. Clean as needed with soapy water using a cloth or soft-bristle brush. Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock treatment to the spa water. The pillows can be
