HOW TO DEFLATE THERAPURE SPA - Therapure Four Person Inflatable Round Hot Tub

To deflate the portable Therapure spa 050006 is easy. The trick is to realize that the black valve used to inflate is in fact a double valve. Remove the square threaded cap to inflate it.
1. To deflate the spa leave the black square threaded cap and below that you should find a round or winged coupler.
2. Unscrew this coupler off and immediately the air will start to escape. It shouldn't take more than about 2 minutes to deflate and you are ready to pack it away.
3. Return the valve (before doing so you could use a vacuum to suck out as much air as possible.)
4. Lay out the spa floor in a circle
5. Fold the three sides to the centre
6. Then lay the power unit on the folded sides.
7. Remove the coupler one more time to squeeze out any remaining air and then return it.
8. Roll the up the side to the original size of the spa before you opened it the first time.

DRAINING THE SPA:
1. Unplug power pack from electrical receptacle before draining spa.
2. Put the rubber plug into the outlet in the inner wall of the spa.
3. Open the outlet in the outer wall of the spa. Screw one end of inflation hose into it.
4. Remove the rubber plug from the outlet in the inner wall of the spa.This will allow water to flow out of the spa. 5.When water is completely drained, press BUBBLE and run for 2-3 minutes to drain the water in the air pipeline. 6.When drainage is finished, remove the inflation hose and replace cap on outside of spa. Store rubber plug for future use.

SPA STORAGE
Make sure all water is drained from the spa and control box.This is essential to extend the life of the spa.We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum to blow out or suck up water from the spa pipes and pump lines. Remove the filter cartridge. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm, dry place.
Note: Plastic becomes brittle and susceptible to breakage when exposed to subzero temperatures. Freezing can severely damage the spa. Improper winterization of your spa may void your warranty.

I don't think you have a heater element?
It might be heating by kinetic energy/heat exchanger/heat transfer by the operation of the pump motor?

I also have a Therapure EST5868 and the heating element must be done as the temperature does not rise above 17. I can't seem to find any information on the location of the element. Just wondering if anyone could help.
