Hi everyone, how's it going? We wanted to drain our hot tub and replace the water. However We have a huge stair case around it, in an L shape. I have to move it in order to get to the drain part. Being that there is 3' of snow around it, I can't move the stairs. So I'm wondering if it could be drained by a siphon or something? My fear is doing this in the winter after shutting the power off and having pipes freeze. Or if you suggest doing it on a day that the temperature is above freezing? I can probably move the snow to get the stairs out of the way but just wondering what you think is the best thing to do. There's black **** floating in the water right now so I assume it's time to replace the water. I guess the siphon method wouldn't be the best as we would not get all the water out of it, but most of it. It's a hot springs flair Thanks, Kevin
