6.7. Maintenance in periods of non-use or absence

Read the following advices to take care of your spa when you are not using it or you are absent. 

SHORT PERIODS (3-5 days)

  • Adjust the pH and treat the water (see Water Maintenance section) 
  • Cover the spa. 
  • Before using the Spa again, readjust the pH and treat the water again.

PROLONGED PERIODS (5-14 days)

  • Set the temperature at its lowest level. 
  • Adjust the pH and treat the water (see Water Maintenance section). 
  • Cover the Spa. 
  • Before using the Spa again, reset the temperature as required, readjust the pH and treat the water again.

PREPARTING FOR THE WINTER PERIOD

If it is not planned to use the Spa through the winter season or for prolonged periods of time, the following operations should be done:

  • Disconnect the electrical equipment, placing the differential switch tab in the OFF position.
  • Locate the drain valve (see Drainage of the Spa) and turn the red lever of the valve to the OPEN position. The Spa will empty by gravity through the general drain. 
  • Leave the drain valve open. 
  • Remove the filter cartridge/s from the filter (See Maintenance of the filter) and keep in a dry place. 
  • Clean and dry the Spa. 
  • Cover the Spa.

Do not leave water in the Spa without electrical connection at temperatures below 0ºC, as the pipes can freeze and damage the spa.
