DRAINING YOUR SPA

1. TURN OFF OR DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE SPA.

2. Remove the equipment compartment access door.

3. Locate the drain cap. Lift drain hose above the water level.(requires cutting

plastic tie the first time.)

4. Unscrew and remove the drain cap.

5. Attach drain hose to garden hose and direct to an appropriate draining area.

Maintain hose below water line.

6. After your spa is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridge.

7. After cleaning, remove garden hose and put drain cap back in place.

8. Replace the equipment compartment access door.

NON-OPERATION IN COLD

CLIMATE

If the spa is to be left unused for an extended period of time in areas where

FREEZING TEMPERATURES DO NOT OCCUR, it may be desirable to turn the

heater to the lowest temperature. The automatic filter cycles will keep the spa

water clean and sparkling. When preparing the spa for use, check the water

chemistry to assure correct chlorine or bromine and pH levels.

You can keep the water in the spa during the time of year when freezing at the spa

location may occur. If a freeze condition is detected, the pump and heater will be

activated automatically to circulate the water in low speed. However, CAUTION

must be used with this approach. In the event of electrical power interruption,

regardless of the cause, the heater and pump will stop operating and freeze

protection will be lost, possibly resulting in freeze damage to the spa, spa

plumbing and/or components. Such damage is not covered by warranty.

WINTERIZING YOUR SPA

If the spa is located where freezing temperatures occur, and you do not intend to

use your spa for an extended period, follow steps 1 through 7 outlined in

“DRAINING YOUR SPA” then complete the steps below:

MPORTANT: The following steps should protect your spa from freezing damage

provided these instructions are followed exactly. For maximum protection against

freeze damage to your spa, Watkins

Manufacturing Corporation recommends

contacting your local Caldera

dealer to schedule an in-home Propylene glycol

(anti-freeze) Winterizing Service plan.

NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN ALL POWER TO THE SPA IS OFF and all water has

been drained from the spa before you continue.

1. Unscrew the Pump Drain Plug located on the front of the pump housing.

Allow all water to drain out, then replace the Pump Drain Plug.

2. It is necessary to remove all water from interior plumbing. Remove the two

screws securing the suction cover, then remove the suction cover.

3. Close the suction with a 1-1/2” NPT “freeze plug” (available at your local

hardware store). Then use a shop vacuum to blowout the water by inserting

the hose in the bottom of the filter canister forcing water back through the

jets.

4. Loosen union on pump and leave them loose.

NOTE: Tighten unions before filling spa.

WARNING: When not in use, the spa must be covered with an insulating spa cover. Damage caused by either sun exposure or freezing is not covered under warranty.
