As the temperatures drop and winter approaches, it’s time to prepare your hot tub for the cold months ahead. Proper winterization will help protect your investment and ensure a hassle-free experience when you’re ready to soak again. Here are some essential tips from Peterborough Landscape Supply to get your hot tub ready for winter!
1. Clean and Drain Your Hot Tub: Start by cleaning the interior of your hot tub. Remove any debris, and clean the filters to ensure they’re in good condition. Once clean, drain the water completely to prevent freezing.
2. Protect the Equipment: Make sure to disconnect all hoses and drain any water from the pumps and plumbing to prevent damage from freezing. Consider insulating your equipment area with a thermal cover or blanket.
3. Add Antifreeze: If you live in an area with extreme cold, adding non-toxic hot tub antifreeze to the plumbing lines can provide an extra layer of protection against freezing.
4. Cover It Up: Invest in a high-quality, insulated hot tub cover to keep out debris and snow while retaining heat. This will also help minimize the need for repairs come spring.
5. Check the Surroundings: Ensure your hot tub area is clear of snow and ice. A tidy space not only looks great but also helps maintain safety and accessibility.
