How often should I drain my hot tub, and how?
Personal preference is a key factor, but its good practice to refresh your water every 3-6 months. Ways to Drain your hot tub include
Finding the drain valve on the bottom of your hot tub cabinet (Sometimes this is located inside the access panel)
Using a sump-pump
Using a garden hose to siphon water overnight
Using a Quick Drain to siphon water within the hour
What is WINTERIZING a hot tub, and when should it be done?
If you are not using your hot tub for an extended period, you'll need to safely shut down & empty your hot tub if the weather is expected to dip below freezing temperatures. The process includes
Draining the tub
Vacuuming out all the excess water from the footwell, filter canister & jets.
Disconnecting all Pumps & Spa pac
Its recommended to remove the pumps and bring them inside if you expect the weather to freeze. If this is not possible, disconnect the pipes and vacuum out any water from inside the pumps & corresponding pipes. If you're not comfortable performing these steps on your own, book a service call, and we'll make sure it's done effectively!
Do you do water testing?
Yes! Send me a photo of your test strip aligned with your colour chart on the bottle and we can work through it together. Remember, levels are always going to change, so understanding your routine and usage will be the most important to solving water chemistry issues!
How do I know what filter I have?
Your filter is unique to your hot tub's design, with huge variances in size. Some sit in while others screw into place. We carry a selection of the most common filters in stock & can special order anything we don't (except for some OEM filters) To help us identify which one you need, provide us with
Length/Width

I’m going away for a few weeks/months, should I shut off my hot tub?
Use your best judgement for this. Hot Tubs have many moving parts, and generally, we see more issues from shutting them down vs keeping them going. If you're going to be away for a month or less, we recommend
Cleaning your filters & adding a dose of sanitizer
Turning it down 80 degrees (power saving)
Lower your filtration hours (power saving)
Have someone come and check up on the tub every few weeks or so for possible power/breaker trips
