PREPARING FOR THE WINTER

If you do not use the hot tub during the winter or for very long periods, you must perform the following operations:

• Disconnect the electrical equipment, residual-current device’s switch in the OFF position.
• Close the stopcocks for the water supply to the hot tub.
• Drain the water from the hot tub and all of its pipes.
• Leave all of the loop’s valves open, remove all of the pumps’ drain plugs and disconnect the hot tub’s water supply pipes, ensuring that they are completely empty.
• Clean and dry the hot tub.
• Cover the hot tub with the cover.

The hot tub should not be left outdoors with water inside and disconnected from the power at temperatures below 0ºC. The water may freeze in the pipes and damage the hot tub.
