Tubber McGee Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hello, My Hot Spring tub is getting picked up by my dealer in a couple days to be looked at for a small leak. I am busy with work during the week so yesterday I wanted to prepare the tub for pick by disconnecting the wires and draining to tub. For some reason my drain tube at the bottom of my tub was not working - it ended up having a couple inches of ice in the end of the tube - I had to take care of by pouring in hot water - Is this normal. I live in Michigan and the temps have been in the 20's and 30's. After draining about 2/3's of my tub - I decided to wait because I was worried about the water in the lines and pumps etc....and read my manual on winterization question - my tub is getting picked up in 2 days - - would the water in the tub (1/3) stay hot enough to keep my lines from freezing for two days? then just finish draining on day of pick up. Or should I completely drain tub - If I do that do I need to blow the lines? Thanks for help! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopcity Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just to be safe, completely drain and blow the lines. Not worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Spring Official Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Tubber McGee, I agree with Loopcity. Safer to winterize immediately! Thanks, Steve ---Hot Spring Spas--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
