There’s nothing like appreciating the wonders of winter from the warm, bubbly water of your hot tub. The sensation of snow falling around you is enhanced as your body is immersed in the spa.
Your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas is designed to be enjoyed throughout the year. Here are some tips to help you prepare your spa for winter so that you can get the most out of it all season long.
Drain and clean your spa before temperatures drop
How often you drain and clean your spa depends on the amount you use it. If your hot tub got a lot of use during the fall, and you plan on enjoying it all winter long, it’s probably time to go ahead and clean it now before the temperatures drop.
Choose a warmer day to drain your spa. The EZ Access drain valve makes it easy to quickly drain your spa, saving you time and effort. When the water is drained, you can wipe down the shell with a gentle cloth and then refill with water. Choosing a warmer day to do this is not only more comfortable for you, but it will also give your spa a chance to warm the fresh water so that it does not freeze in the plumbing.
Keep your cover on when the spa is not in use
Dream Maker Spas hot tub covers are made with a super seal design that locks in heat and keeps the cold out. Because heat rises, the majority of heat loss would happen through the top of your spa. When your cover is sealed, though, you can prevent this heat loss, keeping your water at your desired temperature and saving you money.
The locking straps of your cover can help keep it in place during a windstorm. If you know a winter storm is coming, you can lock the straps in place as an extra barrier of protection.
The tough Weather Shield material of Crossover Collection covers and marine-grade vinyl of Stonehenge Collection models are made to stand up to the elements. Help your covers last longer by brushing off any snow or debris that may accumulate on top of it.
Clear the path to your spa for easy enjoyment
Your hot tub beckons you during the cold winter months… make it easier to answer the call with an easy path to the spa! Your early morning or evening soak will be that much more enjoyable if it’s easy to get to your spa. The portable design of hot tubs from Dream Maker Spas means that you can move your spa closer to your back door during the winter months so that it’s easier to access.
Non-slip walkway mats between your door and the spa can help with traction on snowy or icy days. A towel warmer near your spa is a great winter accessory that lets you step out of the water and slip into the warm comfort of a dry robe. And don’t forget an insulated thermos! Drinking warm tea or coffee during your soak can warm up your insides while your spa warms you outside!
Sit back and relax this winter as you enjoy the crisp winter air from the warmth of your hot tub.
