Spa (Hot Tub) Winterization Tip

Don’t do it! Winter is a GREAT time for a spa.  I love it when it snows and my already graying hair turns totally white.  With that said, some will still close it up for the winter.

 REAL IMPORTANT:  If you are going to drain your spa for the winter, you must also get the ‘invisible’ water out of the tub.  This is the water trapped in the plumbing lines.  If you only drain the shell you will have major freeze damage to the lines and pump/motor.  Call us—we can help.  Don’t want to call?  Then make sure you take the drain plugs out of the pump(s), disconnect all unions, and use a shop vac to suck the water from the jets AND the plumbing lines.  Leave the cover on, lock it, and occasionally check and make sure water isn’t seeping into the shell.  Then cross your fingers.
