Can't find drain valve on Coleman 308-Jade spa

Hi,
We just bought a new house with a spa and I cannot seem to find the drain valve so I can drain and refill. Can someone tell me exactly where it is? I don't see it in the main service area or around the perimeter. Should I take of all the panels to look for it?

Thanks a lot.

Yes remove the panel on the front (under the topside pushbutton control panel). You might be suprised to find 1 or more drain valves there that look like garden hoses with caps and little valve control thingy's... Heck if that doesn't work... I love draining the spa by unscrewing the big fat connections to the front of the pumps. That ALWAYS works... fast too! (Just don't let the gaskets fall off and get lost under there!) heh heh... <img src= " title="Twisted Evil" />
