Replace the Water - Before the weather becomes too cold, completely drain the water in your hot tub and perform a thorough cleaning before replacing the water. If you wait too long and the weather becomes too cold, it can be difficult to drain your hot tub and you can risk the pipes freezing.

Keep Covered - Choose a good quality cover is a must for using your hot tub in the winter. The majority of temperature loss occurs at the water surface and a good cover will help to trap and retain heat, keeping your utility bill manageable. You may also want to consider purchasing a floating thermal blanket which rests on top of the water for additional heat preservation.

Check Water Levels - Frequently check the water levels in your hot tub - even if you have not used it for several weeks. A low water level can cause the heater and pump to shut down, which can cause the water to freeze and result in damage to your hot tub spa.
