1. Turn off power to the spa.
2. Follow the directions on page 33 for draining the spa.
3. Turn the massage/diverter selector(s) into the middle combo position
to allow the water in the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
4. Turn the waterfall valve(s) to the open position to allow the water in
the plumbing lines to drain, see page 27.
5. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and
into the footwell, such as a wet/dry vacuum.
6. When the water level ceases to drop, use whatever means available
to remove any remaining water from the foot well, such as a wet/dry
vacuum.
7. Remove the synthetic cabinet panel under the control panel and
locate the drain plugs on the front of the pump(s), (Figure A, page
16). Remove plugs to allow water to drain out of pumps and heater.
note: Approximately one to two gallons will be released during this
procedure. Use a wet/dry vacuum or other means to keep this from
flooding the equipment compartment. Replace the drain plugs.
8. Loosen the hose clamp on the circulation pump (if equipped) intake
behind the control box (Figure A, page 16) and pull the hose off (twist
hose back and forth while pulling outward). Tip hose down and allow
to drain, then reinstall hose and clamp.
9. Reinstall synthetic cabinet side panel and cover spa so that no
casual moisture can enter into it.
Consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer if you have any questions
regarding winter use or winterizing.
12.8 restarting Your spa in Cold weather

piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow preventing
the spa from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment.
We recommend you consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer for guidance
before attempting to restart your spa under these conditions.
13.0 water Quality maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality
within specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong
the life of the hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention
because the water chemistry involved is a balance of several factors.
Procrastination in regard to water maintenance will result in poor and
potentially unhealthful conditions for soaking and even damage to your
