Winter Spa Care Tips

To help you get the most out of your spa and protect your investment, we've put together some helpful tips and suggestions:

• An insulation blanket should be installed in the equipment compartment from November through April. This blanket will help minimize the spa's power consumption and protect against potential freeze-ups during power failures in the unlikely event of a component failure in your spa.
  
  
• Check your spa daily to confirm that it is heating properly. It is also imperative that your filters are kept clean to ensure proper flow through your spa's heater (warranties do not cover damage from freeze-ups).
  
  
• Remove heavy snow accumulation from your spa's thermal cover to prevent damage. Change your water, seal your redwood skirt, and clean and condition your thermal cover by mid-December. That way, you shouldn't have to worry about doing it again until Spring.
  
  
• Make sure your cover is at peak performance level. Check for signs of wear and tear, and make sure the seal is still tight so heat doesn't escape.
  
  
• If you plan on draining your spa and leaving it empty this winter, you must get all the water out from the spa, including the plumbing. Simply opening the drain and letting the water run out is not enough as a shop vac will be needed. Follow the instructions in your Owner's Manuel carefully or call the service department at (800)889-3729 for the Drain and Winterize Service.
  
  
• Once winterized, the spa should be covered with a tarp or Spa Garage to keep water from getting into the spa.
