DRAINING A BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB
Before draining, check the sanitizer level; it should
not be above 1.0 to ensure no harm is done to the
surrounding environment.Turn the power off at the
breaker.
To drain the hot tub, remove the safety cap from the
fitting threaded into the black drain/fill valve found in
behind the door on a Portable version or under the
step on the Protec version. See Figure 10.
Attach the female end of your hose and place the
other end of your hose at a level lower than the
drain/fill valve to ensure complete draining.Turn the
outer part of the drain/fill valve counter clockwise
to open.As the level falls below the seats use your
hands to scoop water out of the seat contours
into the foot well. Draining will take approximately
2 hours.
Once the hot tub is drained then disconnect the
hose and close the drain valve if you are not going
to fill the hot tub through the drain/fill valve. If you
want to fill through this fitting, unscrew the threaded
adapter and thread in the male end of your hose and
then attach the female end to your tap and then
refill. Be sure to clean your hot tub surface before
refilling.
VACATION INSTRUCTIONS
If leaving your hot tub full and running while on
vacation for 3-5 days do the following:
1. Check and adjust pH level if necessary.
2. Shock-treat the water to raise sanitizer level.
Leave the hot tub cover half open for 1 hour.
3. Lower water temperature to minimum setting
(optional).
4. Lock your cover on the hot tub to maintain a safe
environment for pets or children. If in a high wind
area install Hurricane straps available from your
local Beachcomber dealer.
Upon returning do the following:
1. Check pH and sanitizer level and adjust if
necessary.
If leaving for 5-14 days and no one can come by
to maintain the hot tub do the following:
1. Lower the temperature to around 80ºF. Sanitizers
last longer in cooler water.
2. Check and adjust pH level if necessary.
3. Use either a Beachcomber floating tablet dis-
penser or a Holiday Tender tablet dispenser to
automatically dispense bromine or chlorine in
your hot tub. Use a low setting on these devices
as the demand for disinfectant will be low during
this time.
4. Lock the cover and attach a Hurricane strap in
high wind areas.
Upon returning do the following:
1. Check pH and sanitizer level and adjust if
necessary.
2. Return temperature setting to your desired level.
WINTER OPERATION INFORMATION
All Beachcomber digital hot tubs have a built in
freeze protection sensor. It is located on the bottom
of the heater housing (the stainless steel tube
attached to the bottom of the management system).
If a temperature of 50ºF / 10ºC is detected at this
sensor, the pump(s) high speed will activate for 30
seconds to draw warm water out of the hot tub. If
the hot tub is Hush Pump equipped, the sensor will
not be exposed to the freeze level as the water is
circulating 24 hours a day unless the hot tub is put
on stand-by and circulation is suspended.The
sensor will then override the stand-by mode if a
potential freeze condition is detected.The jet
pump(s) are also protected from freezing via the
small braided rinse line that runs from the front of
