Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months for cleaning and maintenance and refilled with fresh tap water. See page 116 for instructions on cleaning the shell, cover, and pillows. See page 7 for instructions on refilling your spa.

Before you begin, turn off power to the spa at the breaker and remove all filters.

1. Locate your drain.

For spas with drain inside the spa

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the access panel and open it. Locate hose ending with the ¾ inch hose-bib fixture as shown below.

For spas with cabinet-mounted drain

Pull the knob out of the cabinet. The cabinet drain is screwed into the drain pull knob.

Turn the valve on the hose-bib fixture to open the drain.

When the spa has drained completely, turn the valve on the hose-bib fixture, remove garden hose, and replace the cap.
