Before you start Winterizing, read this
If you don’t use your hot tub in the winter, then winterizing it properly is crucial. WINTERPROOF™ with BURST GUARD™ -50˚C Guarantee provides up to 1 year protection from the date of purchase against any bursting and cracking up to -50˚C in all your spa pipes and waterlines, when used as per the directions of the hot tub manufacturer and the directions on the label. Follow these simple steps to keep your spa in great shape so you can soak in the bubbles in the warmer weather!
Since every hot tub is different, be sure to follow your owner’s manual before starting the winterization process. Also, remember that some hot tubs may have extra components which may require additional steps to winterize. Follow the steps below that apply to your spa.
Before we begin, it’s important that you know not to dilute the WINTERPROOF™ All Purpose Water System Antifreeze product. Any water remaining in the lines and drains will cause the product to expand and damage waterlines. Bring product to room temperature before using.
Be safe and remember to turn off your power to your hot tub.
Your spa cover needs cleaning too! This is a great time to clean your hot tub cover with a safe cleaner and water.
If you’re going to clean and close your hot tub for the winter, you might as well do a thorough job of it and clear out your filters while you’re at it. Clean out your filter baskets with a safe cleaner and store them inside for the winter if you’re shutting down your hot tub for the season.
Use either your exterior hot tub drain (usually found along the base of the hot tub) – or if your spa doesn’t have one, you can use a submersible pump – to drain the water. First, remove the drain cap and attach a hose or piping to direct water to an area of your property that will allow it to easily flow and disperse. Once the water inside the tub is drained, leave the drain spout open.
If your hot tub has valves on the top, unthread the valves and insert a shop vacuum to blow water out through the jets. Run the shop vacuum through each of the valves until you don’t see anymore water coming through the jets.
If your spa does not offer top valve access to the pipes, locate the pumps and loosen the unions, opening the plumbing pipes. Use a shop vacuum to blow water through the plumbing pipes and jets.
Even small amounts of water left behind in your spa can cause cracks, so it’s important to try to get all of the water out of it. Use a shop vacuum or a sump pump to suck or pump the remaining water out of the footwell and seats, while using a shop vacuum to blow out the remaining water in the jets. Hold the shop vacuum over each jet for about 15-20 seconds.
Use our WINTERPROOF™ Water System Antifreeze, as directed on the product label. Add antifreeze until colour is evident at drain points. Make sure all branch pipes are treated.
Once you’re done, remember to place the cover back onto your spa for the season.
Under certain circumstances, product may appear slushy or frozen. However, even in extreme temperatures up to -50°C, WINTERPROOF™ All Purpose Water System Antifreeze is guaranteed to prevent pipes, waterlines and plumbing system from bursting when used as per the directions on the label.
Pink coloured dye aids in leak detection.
