Vacation

If you plan to be away, follow these instructions
to ensure water the water quality of your HotSpring spa is maintained.

Short Time Periods
(3 - 5 Days):
  • Adjust the pH by following the instructions outlined in the Water Quality and Maintenance section (see owner's manual)
  • Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures also listed in the Water Quality section.
  • Lock your cover in place using the tiedowns.
  • Upon your return, sanitize the water by following the shock procedure, and balancing the pH.
Long Time Periods
(5 - 14 Days):

Prior to Leaving: 
  • At least one day before you leave, set the temperature to its lowest level. This setting should represent an approximate temperature of 50 degrees F.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Spa water oxidizers such as sodium dichlor chlorine maintain their level of effectiveness substantially longer in warm water (50 degrees) than in hot water (101 + degrees).
  • Adjust the pH as required. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures.
  • Upon Your Return: Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures.
  • Note: If you will not be using your spa for an extended period of time (in excess of 14 days) and an outside maintenance service (or neighbor) is not available to assist with the water maintenance, draining or winterizing of the spa is recommended. Spas equipped with our FreshWater® II Ozone system can extend this to 4 weeks. For precautions against freezing, please refer to your owner's manual.
