Vermonter Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hello all... I'm planning on shutting down my tub for the summer months for the first time this year, and I'm wondering if there's anything special I need to do rather than just draining it and shutting it off. I was thinking about running some Swirl Away through it first.... what else? Thanks all!! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After draining the spa I would take a wet/dry vac and vac out as much water from the jet faces as I could to remove all standing water. Also every so often open the cover to let it air out over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, is there anything that can be done about it, or does it just "come out in the wash", so to speak? Thanks again for the help...
