Don’t Panic!!! http://eastgatepoolsspas.com/blog/2009/02/10/worried-about-a-frozen-spa-dont-panic/ http://eastgatepoolsspas.com/blog/2009/02/10/worried-about-a-frozen-spa-dont-panic/#comments Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:26:38 +0000 max http://eastgatepoolsspas.com/blog/?p=32 feb-09-no-electric5Recent snow and ice storms knocked out power for many of our customers and led to a boatload of calls for people wanting to know if their hot tub would freeze up and what they should do.  In most cases, you will have at least 2-3 days before you have to worry about damages from freezing.  Rule #1 is: LEAVE THE LID ON! Don’t keep opening and closing it.  This lets heat out and hurries the freeze process.  It’s kind of like your refrigerator.  Leave the door closed and keep the food cold.  Leave the cover on and keep the water warm.  I definitely don’t recommend draining the hot tub as there will always be water left in the pipes and it will definitely freeze faster if there is no water in the vessel.
