Some spa manufacturers, include a small half inch or three-quarter inch PVC flex pipe as a drain line that is located somewhere within the equipment bay of the cabinet.
Others extend that drain line to the actual wood or plastic skirting with a special knob or cap Located at the bottom corner of the cabinet, exterior side.
and others, such as Sundance spas, actually have a full one and a half inch pipe with a slice valve, or guillotine valve some call them with a threaded plug, Which will drain the tub much more quickly.
if you have a none of these, then you can either siphon with a hose, or use a submersible pump.
The Fantasy has a drain located in the toekick of the spa. You have to first remove the drain cap, attach a hose if you wish, spin the outer black ring counter clockwise to start the water flow, then pull the outer ring out away from the tub to increase the drain to full flow. I understand that a screw driver is often needed to pull the outer ring out to achieve full flow. Therefore, I suggest another method. Take a garden hose and place it in front of the jet while the spa jets are on. This will force water flow thru the hose and prime the hose. Once you see water running from the other end of the hose, drop the hose in front of the spa jet into the footwell and as long as the loose end is lower than the end in the footwell, a siphon will drain the spa as fast as the spa drain will. Remember to turn off electric to the spa once you have established a siphon. You may have to bucket the last bit of water in the footwell. Goodluck.
