Spa Drain Valves

Purpose: Drains are used for the removal of water from the spa pool. This is important for cleaning and maintenance, as well as for periodic water changes.

Location: Typically situated at the bottom of the spa, they allow for complete drainage. Some spas may have multiple drains for efficient water removal.

Safety: It’s crucial that drains are designed to prevent entrapment, meaning they should not pose a risk of a person getting stuck. Many spas come equipped with safety covers for this purpose.

Drain Valves

Functionality: Drain valves control the flow of water out of the spa. They can be opened or closed to manage the water level and facilitate drainage.

Types: There are various types of drain valves, including ball valves and gate valves, each with its own mechanism for controlling water flow.

Maintenance: Regular inspection of drain valves is important to ensure they open and close properly, preventing leaks or drainage issues.

Maintenance Tips

Regular Cleaning: Ensure drains are free of debris to prevent clogs.

Inspect Covers: Check that drain covers are secure and in good condition.

Test Valves: Regularly test the operation of drain valves to make sure they function correctly.
