Properly winterizing your hot tub is not just a task for those in frigid climates; it's a critical step in maintaining its longevity and functionality.
Before initiating the winterization process, it's essential to remove chemical supplies from the hot tub and allow it to sit for several days
Use a chemical test kit to confirm that the chemical levels have dropped before draining. This proactive measure prevents the inadvertent dumping of chemicals and ensures a smooth winterization process
Locate a suitable spot in your yard away from the house to drain the hot tub. Ensure it can handle the considerable water volume, and confirm that your hose can reach this designated drainage spot
Remember, water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Prioritize safety by turning off the power at the breaker before servicing your hot tub or any electrical appliance
Drain the Water Once the power is off, connect a hose to the drain port and efficiently drain as much water as possible
Drain the Blower Turn off the hot tub heater, restore power, and run the hot tub for at least 30 seconds to drain the blower. Turn off the hot tub and power at the breaker once again.
Turn Off the Power Locate and turn off the breaker controlling the hot tub. Double-check to ensure there's no residual power in the hot tub.
