Hot Tub Freeze Safety, Quality Found Here!

The Spa Guy offers advice on how to protect your spa from cold weather. Note: We don't recommend that you ever stop or down your spa for any reason. The reason is that stopping the spa causes things like pumps not restarting, heater failure and hose crud build-up after extended periods of non-use. During the Winter even if you drain the spa you cannot get all of the water out of pumps, plumbing and manifolds. When the water stays in plastic parts and the freezing process starts the water expands and breaks the plastic. These kinds of repairs can be costly and sometimes render the spa unrepairable or a total loss.
If you must stop your spa or if it stops and you can not get it to heat we recommend adding a reflective light under the cabinet and reinstall the cabinet side until the concern can be solved. This light can be purchased at places like Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart. Add a 75-100 Watt bulb and plug it into a 115V wall outlet. With enough insulation in the tub and the side panels back in place this will keep the spa safe.
