hendr1x Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Sorry...I couldn't find a place to post this. I just have a regular hot tub. Hot tub is level. Drain is fully open and pointing downward. There is still about 1/2 inch of water left in tub after all flow stops. What is recommended in this situation? I wanted to close it down for the summer but I can't leave water in there...it will get absolutely disgusting if I do. Any suggestions?

RDspaguy Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Several, but first tell me how you plan to keep water out once you get it dry. In my experience, you can't. So leaving a bit in it hurts nothing, you will have a cleaning job to do either way. Even fully drained, there is still water in the pipes, so you will get some nasty even if you do figure out a way to make it weatherproof.

CanadianSpaTech Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Wet dry shop vac. Once you remove as much water as you can spray all surfaces and the underside of the cover with a mold inhibitor. Also a good idea to place a 2x4 across the top of the spa to lift the cover up a bit to allow air to flow in and out. You will need to cover the spa with something to keep rain water to get back in. Recommend a cover cap: https://www.poolandhottubdepot.com/hot-tub-cover-cap-7-x-7-x-38/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkZiFBhD9ARIsAGxFX8BFCSWZxUedMH8uad-K1Jc8c6JiVwznVICn92awQYe1uA8jKndbpMgaAsgBEALw_wcB Mold Control Spray: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Concrobium-32-oz-Mold-Control-025326/100654126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
