Winterizing Your Hot Tub

Wet Dry Vac

1. Begin at the lowest points in spa and work your way up. Vacuum out each of the above items. (You could take out up to 15 gallons of water).
2. Blow through each of the above
3. Dry any water left on seats or floor

  RV Anti-Freeze

1. Reconnect Pump 1, (pump on the right).
2. Pour ½ gallon into each filter cannister
3. Run Pump 1 for less than 1 minute, or until anti-freeze begins coming out of the jets
4. Leave anti-freeze on seats and floor where it sits. This will prevent ice, that forms over the winter, from sticking to the spa shell in those spots.
5. Throw a tarp over the spa cover and weigh it down with 1 gallon jugs of water in each corner. Expect 2-3 inches of ice to form on the floor of spa over the winter.
