Your Bathroom Vanity is What Brings Your Theme Together
January 4th, 2010Tips to ensure your Hot Tub or Spa Survives the Cold of Winter Months
January 2nd, 2010Most spa and hot tub owners like to use their tub all year round. A shop vac that can vacuum water, a few large towels, and a garden hose are helpful items to have on hand.
Removed the hot tub cover completely, and also remove or open all the access doors to the areas housing the plumbing, pump, and heater.
* Locate the hot tub drain and connect the hose. When the drain valve is opened the water should start to flow out if the hose is stretched out and is below the water level in the tub. * Some hot tubs have an air channel under the seats to provide bubbling action. You will need to switch off or disconnect the spa heater and water pump individually and then turn the power to the tub back on. * Turn on your hot tub blower and let it blow the water out of the air channel for 30 seconds or so. * Put the hot tub cover back on the spa. Because most hot tub covers will leak some water back into the tub, it’s good to cover the entire spa with a tarp or specially designed winter cover.
