14.2 Draining And Refilling
About every 3 to 6 months, you will should replace the hot tub’s water.
The frequency depends on a number of variables including the amount
of use, attention paid to water quality maintenance, etc. You will know it
is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no
longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water even though the key
water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
CAUTiON! reAd THiS BeFOre drAiNiNG: To decrease
damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the
hot tub at the circuit breaker before draining it. Do not turn
the power back on until your hot tub has been refilled. There
are certain precautions to keep in mind when draining your
hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is outdoors,
freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment (see
“Winterizing”, page 58). On the other hand, if it is hot
outdoors, do not leave the hot tub’s surface exposed to
direct sunlight for long periods.
