- Shut off the GFCI breaker located in the subpanel or the quick disconnect.
- Locate the main drain valve for the spa, on the outside of the cabinet to the right of the equipment compartment. Attach the male threaded end of a garden hose to the drain valve, and route the other end of the hose to an appropriate draining area.
- Open the valve by turning the large outside ring counterclockwise. The spa will drain by gravitational flow. Note: All Arctic Spas models will drain through the floor drain. Equipment such as the pump(s) and heater will drain. All models will leave a small amount of water in the footwell. Any water remaining in the plumbing or equipment after draining will only need to be removed if the spa is being winterized.
- When empty, inspect the spa shell and clean as required.
- Close the drain valve.
- Refill the spa BEFORE restoring power.
IMPORTANT: Always clean and rotate the filter cartridges, every couple of weeks, and each time the spa is drained for cleaning.
