SHOWEM Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I recently bought a Hotsprings Flair and have it in my florida home. Should you leave the water in while your away 1-2 months? I treated the water and closed the cover when I was done using it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'm mostly away from my spa in summer, away from the Phoenix heat. I also have an above-ground pool. A neighbor kid adds a chlorine tablet to the pool one day a week, maybe you could do similar to your spa if you use tablets. For my spa, I don't heat it in the summer; I leave the water in, and the cover on with weights on the cover. Pump runs like 1 hour a day. I'm back like every two weeks so I check its bromine tablets then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashman Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yes! Always leave water in your tub. The biggest problem that I see is water mold "Which is actually a fugus" will develop when the stagnant water sits in the spa pipes for extended periods of time. It's hard to get rid of it. Also pumps tend to seize up due to moisture and sitting idle for long periods of time. Most Spas have a rest or a sleep mode. That will automictically set the tub to 20 degrees lower than you have set. You can also lower your filter cycle down as well. If your using chlorine in your tub I would switch to the @ease product just because it will keep chlorine in your tub up to 4 weeks with out you needed to do anything.
