Spring Care Tips For Your Hot Tub
If you winterized your hot tub, you may be wondering when the best time to de-winterize your spa is and how. The best time to de-winterize your spa is when you plan to use again it on a regular basis (we recommend winterizing your hot tub if it will be left unattended for longer than 6 weeks) and when the temperatures in your area stay above freezing consistently.
To de-winterize your hot tub, do the following:
Clean areas of your spa that have gotten dirty over the winter.
Clear the antifreeze out of your plumbing. Even if you used a non-toxic antifreeze, it’s still a good idea to get it out of the pipes so it doesn’t irritate your skin. To do this, fill the hot tub only partially with water, run the pumps for a few minutes, and then drain your tub.
Reconnect the pumps and heaters, open the air-bleed valves, and close the drain valves.
Finally, replace the filters and refill the hot tub with new water.
Turn on the spa, and then shock or super sanitize the spa water to make sure your spa is as clean as possible.
Adjust the settings to your preferred temperature and wait for it to warm up. Typically, Bullfrog Spas heat up 3-5 degrees per hour. It’ll be worth the wait!
When the hot tub reaches your ideal temperature, hop in and enjoy!
