Cal Spas: Draining Your Hot Tub

Cal Spas: Draining Your Hot Tub

Have you drained your hot tub recently? If not, we recommend that you do. Draining your Cal Spas hot tub every four to six months will not only ensure that your spa water is clean and fresh, it will give you the best spa experience!

Note

Do not open the control box. These instructions contain only basic guidance for this problem. Anything beyond the scope of these instructions should be performed by a qualified spa technician or an electrician.

FOR SPAS WITH CABINET MOUNTED DRAIN:

  1. Turn off the power at the breaker.
  2. Remove all filters.
  3. Pull the knob out about 2″ until it snaps into place.

4. Unscrew the cap.

5. Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting.

6. Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to.

7. Pull the hose outward about ½” to start water flow. Push inward to shut off water flow.

8. Let spa drain completely.

9. Push the hose inward about ½ inch, then remove the garden hose.

10. Replace the cap.

11. Push the knob in about 2″ until it snaps back into place.
