Slide the access cover up until the bottom will clear the trim along the bottom of the spa. Slide the access cover into place and re-attach it with the four screws. DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four times a year and refilled with clean water. You may need to drain the spa more often, depending on the user load. This must be done, because after repeated chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa should also be drained if you will not be using it for long periods of time. The spa must always be drained before major repairs are made. The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause extensive damage. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty. To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps: 1. Set the temperature control on the console to the lowest setting. 2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI. 3. Remove the access cover from the back of the spa unit. 4. Remove the drainage hose from the spa and attach a garden hose to the valve on the drainage hose. 5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. The water will begin to drain. 6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and remove the garden hose. Return the drainage hose to the clip and replace the access cover. 7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals (see pages 10 and 14). Valve Knob Cap Pump Motor Drain Hose 15
