Beachcomber Drain & Fill Tote | Hot Tub Cleaning Kit

It is best to replace your hot tub water before you enter the busy season. This will prevent you from needing to drain and fill your hot tub when you actually want to use it. Regular draining and filling should be done to allow you to inspect your hot tub for and signs of wear or damage. Preventative maintenance now can save your from an expensive emergency repair down the road.

Here is a step by step approach to guide you through the process of preparing your hot tub for the busy season.

Step 1: Remove and Soak
Remove strainer basket and pull out Micro Filter. To do so, twice the trim ring counter clockwise and gently pull along the floating weir assembly. Clear our debris from basket and rinse. Next soak your microfilter with Beachcomber Filter soak cleaner. Then rinse well to ensure no residue remains.

Step 2: Cleanse & Neutralize
Add Beachcomber Pipe Cleanse to your hot tub water, let is circulate for at least 12 hours before draining your hot tub. Pipe Cleanse will help remove traces of bather waste and biofilm from your pipes to leave you with a cleaner hot tub. Test your water for any presence of sanitizer, if present add in Beachcomber Neutralizer as directed on the bottle to ensure environmentally safe water dumpage.

Step 3: Drain & Clean
Turn power off. Find the drain and fill valve (different location depending on your model) and remove the safety cap from fitted threading. Secure the female end of a hose to opening and ensure the end of hose is at a level lower than valve for complete drainage. Turn outer part of drain/fill valve counter clockwise to open and begin the draining process. Once hot tub is completely empty, remove garden hose and seal valve. While your hot tub is draining, you can use Beachcomber Heatshield with COVER CARE™ to clean your hot tub cover. First thoroughly wash with a mix of warm water and mild detergent, and allow time to dry. Then spray cover completely with COVER CARE™, wait 30 seconds, then using an absorbent cloth buff and wipe off any excess. Using the Hot tub Chamois towel and tub clean, begin wiping down the acrylic hot tub shell once water is drained down to the footwell level.

Step 4: Fill & Eliminate
Ensure drain/fill valve is closed. Attached the Fresh Fill pre-filter to your hose and begin filling your hot tub with water. Once the waterline is halfway up the skimmer, you can now turn the power on. Once your hot tub has all the bubbles out of the line and is circulating, pour in Beachcomber ELIMINATE™ to help prevent corrosion in your hot tub.

Step 5: Add Beachcomber Filter
Add Filter around and over the top of the microfilter basket. This will help trap debris before it reaches the microfilter or heater, helping to reduce maintenance and extend your microfilter's life. Use out 6 way water test strips for quick and easy water balance tests. We recommend testing your hot tub water levels at least 2 times each week or after each use.
