Winterizing Your Hot Tub

Environment Canada is calling for the snow to end sometime today with total amounts in the 20 to 30 cm range. Ready or not winter is knocking on our doorstep. So how do you prepare? Snow tires ... check, snow blower … check, drain the pool … check.  What about the hot tub?

If you have a hot tub that you want to close up for the winter it starts with the realization that hot tub spas get damaged because they aren’t properly winterized.  It also costs a lot to repair them.  Don’t let it get that far.

You have to start by turning off the circuit breaker for the spa’s electrical line and even better unplug the unit. Then remove the hard thermal cover and drain out the spa by hooking a garden hose to the spa’s bottom drain spout. Make sure that you leave the bottom drain spout open when you’re finished.

After you turn off your spa heater and  replace the hard thermal cover on the spa and turn the spa’s circuit breaker back on, or plug the unit back in. If you have an air blower, let it run for approximately 30 seconds in order to blow all the water out of the air channel under the spa seats.

Remove the cover and soak up all the remaining water from inside the spa with towels or the best way possible, making sure that you get all the water out. Take out the hot tub filter and empty the water out of the filter canister compartment.

You’ll have to get the water out of the jet piping.  You can do this by blowing air through a compressor or hose into the jets. Get out of the spa and put the hard cover back on the unit. Tie down the cover to so that wind it doesn’t get flipped up by wind.

If you have an in ground or in deck hot tub, you’ll have to attach Winter Spa Cover over the hard thermal cover. One neat trick is to place the winter cover over the hard cover and lay swimming pool type water tubes around the hot tub decking which will prevent rain or water from getting into your spa over the winter.

All that’s left to do is bury your head and wait for spring. If you go through withdrawal, there are always outdoor spas.
