Ndx Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Hi What do you guys recommend to customers during winter pump failures .. where I am it can get as low as -30C tub with questionable temp I assume can drop pretty fast … options, add **** load of anti freeze and mix drain and try to winterize drop heating element in tub ( how safely to not melt acrylic ) put 2 service lights in cabinet 100w bulbs ? ( does this actually work ? ) -if it does I might permanently add 2 lights and wire switch on outside of the cabinet, place on each corner ? Has anyone retrofitted circulation pump ? would that be hard ? currently my tub has 2 x 2 Speed pumps and it uses speed one for circulation thx guys !

RDspaguy Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 What brand of spa? In Tahoe we used to pull an additional 20amp circuit to the spa and mount a plug under the spa cabinet for a small electric space heater. Left on low, the space heater would never turn on if the spa was running, but if the tub stops working and the cabinet gets cold the space heater kicks on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Place a small thermostatically controlled ceramic heater inside cabinet and your good. You have 3-4 days before any worry about water temp dropping enough to freeze without one. If you drain it it will freeze quicker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
