Changing Your Spa Water - BullFrog Spas Owner's Manual

CHANGING YOUR SPA WATER

Depending upon usage, the spa water will need to be changing every 2 to 4 months or when the water
becomes difficult to manage. Note: Drain r to an area that can handle a large quantity of water. If
draining water onto vegetation, make sure that the sanitizer level (chlorine or bromine level) of the water
is less than .5 PPM.
Steps to Drain Spa (Conventional Method):
1. Disconnect electrical power supply.
2. Remove equipment compartment door.
3. Locate the drain hose.
4. Lift drain hose higher than water level.
5. Remove drain hose cap.
6. Connect a garden hose to the drain hose.
7. Lower to ground level and drain.
8. Clean spa shell.
Steps to Drain Spa (PowerDrain™ with 50' of drain hose):
Items needed: 1 to 2 JetZone dividers
1. Place the spa in Standby mode.
2. Remove the first JetPak on the left side, nearest the filter assembly.
3. Remove filter(s) from the filter-housing unit.
4. Install the PowerDrain™ unit on the water output side; enter the first JetPak recess (the fitting closest
to the control panel).
5. Direct the drain hose to the drain area.
6. Press JETS 1 to start low speed (water output volume can be controlled by using the supplied gate
valve).
7. Place the JetZone divider(s) in the filter-housing, block off the flow at the bottom of the filter. This will
allow the spa to drain down to the level of the intake suction.
8. It will take 5 to 9 minutes at full volume on low speed to drain completely.
Steps to Refill Spa:
1. Remove garden hose from drain hose.
2. Replace drain hose cap.
3. Reattach the equipment compartment door.
4. Refill the spa with tap water. Fill to the water level indication on the faceplate of the filter assembly.
5. Restore electrical power supply.
6. Press any button to reset the control system
Note: To avoid air pockets in the pumps and in the main plumbing intake, fill the spa through the filter
assembly. The higher the water level, the fewer users it will be able to handle. Also, do not fill the spa
with soft water unless the mineral content is raised immediately; contact your authorized Bullfrog Portable
Spa dealer.
