Preparing Your Hot Tub for the Cold Weather
September 12, 2007
Who doesn't love relaxing in his/her hot tub on a cool/cold evening? Now is the time to get the tub ready for cool/cold weather use. Hot tubs should be drained and cleaned well at least twice a year. Turn of the power and drain. Once the tub is drained, the tub should be wiped down with non-abrasive cleaner and then rinsed well. Don't forget to clean the filters. Whether you chose a soak, spray or good hosing out, it is important to clean them well. Not sure if you should replace them? Feel the power coming out of the jets. Does the power greatly increase when you remove the filters? If so, then new filters should be considered. Ok, now the tub is drained, wiped down, and the filters are clean. It is time to refill the tub. Don't forget to close the drain! Once the tub is refilled you will need to balance the water. If you are on a well, you may want to consider a product that causes the metals in the water to collect in the filter. Make sure your pH, alkalinity and Calcium are all within the proper range. Not only will it make the water more comfortable, but it will help the maintenance chemicals work properly.
Your tub is now ready to enjoy throughout the winter.
