Winterizing safely...

*) If your spa is new, have your dealer SHOW YOU how to winterize. (we're up North so this is vital) If not avail, and no info in owner's manual, call the company !

*) Common intuition will say to inspect all pipes for loops or low spots where water will get trapped. Disconnect pumps (or plugs) at low points.

*) Use wet/dry shop vac or leaf blower to purge lines if in doubt.

*) Power spa back on and run blower motor if equipped to purge air lines (quickly, as pump may come on - ya got about 80 seconds before trouble if pump seal is dry!)

*) Pull filters & rinse now, if they dry dirty it's over for 'em.

*) Wash underside of cover to prevent mildew in off-season.

*) Put tarp on tub, then strap down your cover over it to keep out rain water & pests.

*) Cap all chems tightly, as most powders will 'wick' in moisture as they are so dry, and bring all liquids inside to prevent freezing.

*) Don't leave pipes open as rodents may camp out.

*) Toss in a box of D-con or our 'MOUSE-AWAY" herbal rodent repellent for safe measure.

*) Contemplate what a wimp you are for not using that tub in the winter with snow building up on your head!
