During freezing temperatures, never allow water to remain trapped in an unused hot tub system unless suitable frost protection is operating.
If the hot tub will not be heated or used during freezing weather, completely drain the tub and all water-carrying equipment.
Drain the wood-fired heater, connecting hoses, filtration equipment and massage systems where installed.
Open drain points and valves to allow remaining water to escape.
Pay particular attention to pumps, filters, jets and pipework, where small amounts of water can remain and freeze.
Massage systems may retain water inside their pipework even after the main tub has been drained. Follow the equipment-specific winterisation procedure to remove residual water.
Never light a frozen wood-fired heater or attempt to rapidly heat equipment that may contain frozen water.
If the hot tub remains filled throughout winter, ensure that the installed heating and circulation equipment is suitable for frost protection.
Important: Frost damage can occur even when the hot tub appears empty because water may remain inside pipes, pumps and other equipment.
Can I use my hot tub in winter?
Yes. Our hot tubs are designed for year-round enjoyment, including the colder months. During freezing temperatures, it is important to follow the correct winter-use and drainage procedures to protect the heater, pipes, pumps and other equipment.
