In chilly winters many people like to enjoy the outdoor hot tub with snow drift piled around them and also in the favor of organizing the hot tub parties with friends. However, if you’re not one of those types and prefer to completely shut it down during cold climates then you will require taking some necessary precautions, because if you cannot keep it running during the cold weather then freezing weather may damage your hot tub and plumbing.
You need to follow these steps in case you are not in the favor of using your hot tub in cold weather:
First of all by using the circuit breaker turn off the whole power. If it’s a portable appliance that is not hard wired, just disconnect it. Totally removes the hot tub cover as well as take away or open all the entrance doors to the areas accommodation the plumbing, heater and pump.
Locate the hottub drain and attach to the hose. Drain valve is opened the water should start to flow out if the hose is stretched out and is below the water level in the tub. When the flow of water end, detach the hose but leave the regulator opened.
Many hot tubs come with air channel beneath the seats which provides bubbling action. You will require turning off the water pump and heater separately after that turn the power to the tub back on. Be remembering do not operate heater and pump without water because they both could be damage if it happen.
Switch on your hottub blower and allow it blow the water away of the air channel for minimum 30 seconds. Use the circuit breaker and switch off the power when it completed.
Take away the cartridge filter and store it in your garage or basement. Rearrange the hose on the shop vac plus suck out all the water in the base well of the tub and that might be on the seats. A fast clean inside with a yielding piece of cloth should end the work.
Finally properly cover your hot tub with hot tub cover.
