Procedure to Winterizing Your Spa

1. Turn off the power to the spa at the G.F.C.I. and turn off the breaker to the spa and in your electrical panel box in your home.
2. Remove all removable accessories i.e. pillows and filter(s).
3. Drain all the water out of the spa via the hose bib, by siphoning, or use a small submersible pump.  This pump is the fastest method of draining water and is available for purchase.
4. After the water has drained from the tub, you must suction all remaining water from the tub, filter housing area, jets and suction ports with a shop vac.  Start from the top jets and work down.  This procedure should be done twice.
5. Vacuum air jets in the seats (if any).
6. Wipe out the spa with spa cleaner, so spa is ready for Spring fill up.
7. This is a good time to clean and put a protective coating on the spa cover.
8. We recommend covering your winterized spa with a spa garage cover to protect your cover and cabinet from the harsh winter elements and to keep water from blowing under your hard cover.
9. Store all chemicals in a dry, well ventilated area that is above freezing.
10. Your spa is now winterized.  If you have any questions, regarding this procedure, please call or contact us and we will winterize your spa for you.

Reminder: Don't allow large amounts of snow/ice to accumulate on top of the cover. 

Do not use a shovel to remove snow.

Check Spa monthly and suction any rainwater that may get into spa or drain out of heavy covers.
