V. SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION

our Hot Spring

Spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the spa care

and maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa and its individual components will

last. Regular maintenance following the advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.

DRAINING THE WATER

Detergent residues from bathing suits and soap film from your body may gradually accumulate in your spa’s water.

Normally, in about four months the water will become sudsy and should be replaced. Showering without using soap prior

to entering the spa or using only the rinse cycle when laundering your bathing suit will help to reduce detergent residue in

the spa water.

Important: Remember to change your water every four months.

TO DRAIN YOUR SPA:

1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by the appropriate method:

115 Volt Models - Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle. Set the power cord in an elevated position

so as not to allow water to enter the GFCI plug housing during draining of the spa.

230 Volt Models - Trip both of the GFCI breakers located in the subpanel.

2. Remove the screws from the equipment access door and remove the door completely. Locate the main drain valve for

the spa and remove the drain cap. Attach the inlet of a garden hose to the drain valve (to avoid flooding of the

foundation surrounding the spa) and route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area.

NOTE: Spa water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grass.

3. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. The spa will drain by gravitational flow.

IMPORTANT: All Hot Spring

Spa models will drain almost completely through the main drain valve and the

secondary drain. Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system will drain. Any water remaining within the

plumbing or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.

4. Allow most of the water to drain through the main drain.

5. Remove threaded cap from secondary drain. This will drain the remaining water (about 1 gallon) from the bleedline

system.

6. When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required. (Follow the Care of the Exterior Finish instructions.)

7. Close the drain valve and reinstall the drain cap.

8. Reinstall threaded cap onto secondary drain.

9. Replace or close the equipment access door and replace the screws.

10. Refill the spa through the filter compartment BEFORE restoring power.

IMPORTANT: Always clean and rotate the filter cartridges each time the spa is drained for cleaning.

FILTER SYSTEM

Hot Spring

Spas are equipped with balanced filtration, meaning that the filter cartridges are sized to meet the needs of the

jet pump system. Additionally, a separate filter is dedicated to serving the 24-hour circulation system.

As with any water filtering system, the filter cartridges may become clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. In your Hot

Spring

Spa, it is important to maintain a clean, unobstructed filtering system. This not only provides the maximum

performance from the jets, but allows the 24 hour filtration system to function effectively.

Watkins Manufacturing

Corporation recommends the filter cartridges be cleaned (by soaking to dissolve minerals) once every month.

SERVICE NOTE: Rotating the placement of the filter cartridges within the filter compartment after each cleaning will help to

extend their service life.

WARNING: Failure to maintain the cartridges in a clean, unobstructed manner will result in reduced water flow through the

heater assembly that may cause the High Limit Thermostat, Heater Thermal Cut-off or Circulation Pump Thermal Cut-off to

trip. If this high limit or thermal cut-off trip occurs during sub-freezing temperatures and goes unnoticed, the spa water may

freeze. Any damage to the spa (due to freezing) caused as a result of poor maintenance (stated under misuse or abuse in

the Hot Spring

Spa Limited Warranty), will not be covered by your spa warranty.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury to persons using the spa, DO NOT remove the suction fittings (filter standpipes)

located in the filter compartment.
