Fopp Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi there, We bought a house that came with an empty hot tub. First step was to determine if it has power which it does. Next step is what?? We don’t even know where to begin. Please help! It’s empty and not sure how long it has been sitting empty. Provided pictures and any advice would be so appreciated. thank you!

CanadianSpaTech Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Do you live in an area with sub zero temps? Get a wet dry shop vac and get out as much of the dirty water out that you can. Don't worry about scrubbing it just yet. Just a light cleaning to remove any debris and algae from the seat pockets and foot well. Then fill the foot well area with water just up to the seat and leave it over night to see if it is going to hold water. Note where you fill it up to. If it holds water the continue filling it up so the water level is above the highest jet. Remove the filter and leave it out until you are sure the spa is working as it should. Just make sure there are no leaves or anything that could go down the filter hole and cause a problem. Open up the main panel and inspect the electrical connections inside the spa pack before turning the power on. If everything looks good then turn it on and see what happens. If it runs and there are no apparent leaks then set the temperature to 85 degrees and wait until it reaches 85. The you will need to buy some AHH-Some plumbing line cleaner and follow the directions to purge and disinfect the spa. Drain it and then scrub it clean. Final refill, new filter and enjoy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
