12.7 Winterizing
Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather less than 32°F (0°C), choose the F3 “Standard” filtration/ heating mode to prevent freezing (page 28). If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power outage during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important that all water be removed from the spa and equipment to protect against damage from freezing.
Expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
In emergency situations, damage can be minimized by taking the following steps:
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER TO HOT TUB!
Follow the directions on page 36 for draining the spa.
1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 26.
4. Turn the waterfall valve to the open position to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 23 and 24.
5. Open all the air controls and leave them open until you resume use of the spa, page 27.
6. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
7. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available to remove any remaining water from the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
8. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
15). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
Note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
9. Loosen hose clamp at bottom of CLEAR RAY ® system and pull hose off of CLEAR RAY fitting (twist the hose back and forth while pulling downward). Tip hose down and allow to drain. Then reinstall hose
