What is a drain?

Drains and Sewers
A drain is a pipe, which conveys either foul water (sink / bath / toilet etc.) or surface water (rain) from one house only. The owner or occupier of a house is solely responsible for maintaining a drain, clearing blockages and repairing any faults. Even where the drain extends outside the boundary of the property (for example under the road or under a neighbour's garden) the owner or occupier of the house served by the drain is still responsible, right up to the main public sewer.

Is it possible to over drain?

Multiflow Web Frequently Asked Questions
Drainage cannot and will not remove all water from the soil. It only reduces it from an unacceptable "saturation point" to the desired level of "field capacity." At this point, water clings to surrounding soil particles which refuse to yield any more moisture to gravity. In situations where there is grass or other plants, these plants can still access this remaining soil water.

WHEN SHOULD I DRAIN MY SPA?

It’s completely up to you. Most professionals recommend every 3 months. However, some customers do it every 2 to 3 months and others every 5 to 6 months. We feel that with regular water maintenance and care, 4 times per year should suffice. It typically only cost $1.00 to refill your 330 gallon spa. So why not drain it for a buck instead of using a lot of more expensive chemicals just to prolong draining it anyway.

How often do I need to drain and refill the spa?

The Spa Specialist- Frequently Asked Questions::.
Approximately every three to six months. There is a formula that gives a good guide. The number of days between refilling equals 1/3 the gallons of the spa; divided by the number of daily bathers. This can be extended to six to twelve months if you use The Spa Specialist Ionizer/oxidizer system. This also makes pH balancing really easy, because we are not adding large amounts of pH affecting products. A good spa store will have a TDS meter to test water for Total Dissolved Solids.
