What to do with a outdoor spa in the winter?

2024-08-16

It is pleasant to enjoy fresh air, warm sunshine and refreshing breeze outdoors. The outdoors is like a magical place that makes people yearn for it. In order to better enjoy outdoor life, people usually choose to install a Outdoor Spa tub in the backyard. In addition to being used in warm seasons, Hot Tubs also meet people's needs to enjoy the outdoors in cold winter. However, hot tubs in cold weather need to be used and maintained with care. Here are some tips:

1. Use your thermo cover

The thermo cover has two very important functions for outdoor hot tubs. In winter, especially snowy days, you need to cover your Hot Tub with an thermo cover to prevent snow from falling and accumulating in the hot tub. In addition, it will help your hot tub maintain a constant high temperature and will not consume too much energy.

2. Improve your outdoor facilities

Adding some outdoor facilities around your Outdoor Hot Tub can greatly enhance your outdoor soaking experience and even provide protection for your outdoor hot tub. One of the best solutions is to install a Louvered Pergola, which can prevent the snow from burying the hot tub during blizzards and cause unnecessary trouble. It can also provide you with a shelter when entering or leaving the outdoor spa.

3. Keep the water heated

When the hot tub is not completely drained, it is very necessary to keep the hot tub running. This is because the extremely low outdoor temperature can freeze the water in the spa and pipes. Once the water freezes, its volume will expand, causing the pipes to rupture and the motor to damage.

4. Avoid changing water

In the cold winter, you should try to avoid changing water. You can choose to change water in advance or postpone it when the weather is warmer. Because changing water outdoors in the cold winter will inevitably result in the water freezing quickly.

5. Safety precautions

There are some precautions when using an outdoor hot tub in winter. First, pay attention to the water temperature, preferably below 38°C, and do not soak for too long, preferably about 20 minutes, otherwise it may have an adverse effect on the body if the temperature difference is too large. At the same time, you need to avoid drinking alcohol.
