Is Your Hot Tub Ready for Winter?

Is your hot tub ready for winter?

While hot tubs are excellent to use all year long, there is just something magical about soaking in the warm waters of your spa during wintertime in Kansas. With winter quickly approaching, now is the time for spa owners to get everything in order. Is your hot tub ready for winter? Prepare for cold weather hot tub use with these tips.

Drain and Refill Your Water

Your hot tub water should be drained and refilled every three to four months which makes the changing of seasons a great reminder to do so. Additionally, doing so before winter is a good idea since spa use increases for many people and you don’t want to be doing it after the temperatures are frigid outside. 

First, add a line flush cleaner to the spa water to clean the plumbing and inner workings of your spa. Then circulate the water for several hours or even overnight. Then completely drain the water in your spa.

Give Your Spa a Scrub a Dub Dub

Once your hot tub is drained, scrub the interior using a hot tub cleaner and a nonabrasive towel or sponge. The goal is to remove any build-up from biofilm, algae, or other formations. Once you are finished with a thorough cleaning, rinse well and drain the rinse water. Before refilling your spa, be sure to also clean or replace your spa filters using a filter cleaner. 

Inspect Everything for Soundness

It’s also a good idea to check all spa components for soundness. Inspect the shell, filter, exterior, jets, and more for cracks, unusual stains, and other defects or inefficiencies. Also, inspect your hot tub cover for cracks, water logging, or sagging materials. Catching and addressing concerns early can help prevent larger problems and possibly save your costly repairs.
