Hot Hot Tub Tips for Winter-Get Ready for Cold Weather Now
Submerging yourself in the heated water, surrounded by the massaging jets and aromatic scents feels absolutely delicious in the winter months.
The philosopher, Alan Watts, used to say, “Consciousness loves contrast.” On a cold day, you body craves heat; on a hot day, you crave cold. Instead of curling up by the fireplace piled with blankets and sweaters, try lolling in the hot tub in the buff.
Your Hot Spring Spa is the perfect warm up tool to use after you’ve raked the leaves for the 10th time this fall, frozen your buns at a Seahawks game, taken in the new snow at Crystal or just strolled through the Arboretum.
I think cold, rainy fall and winter days in Seattle are made for hot tubbing and snowy days, too.
Here are some hot tub tips from our Head Service Technician, Reg Akright, which will make your hot tubbing this winter the best ever:
STOCK UP ON WATER CARE SUPPLIES.
There’s nothing worse than going for a dip and realizing you’re out of shock, SilkBalance or chlorine. With company coming for Thanksgiving, you’ll want your hot tub clean and ready to go. Olympic’s estore has some terrific specials on all SeaKlear Spa Water Care supplies on now. Stock up now and relax knowing you’ll have enough hot tub supplies to last through the winter. Better to be stocked up than scrambling.
KEEP UP WITH WATER CARE.
Although it’s easy to forget to maintain your hot tub in the winter, it’s extremely important to continue upkeep even if you’re not using it as much as you would during the summer. Keep the water chemistry in balance and sanitizer levels up.
CALL NOW FOR SERVICE.
You’ll want to fix anything that’s not working 100% before the worst weather sets in. Most hot tub soaking is at night and on weekends. It’s no fun to head out to the hot tub for relaxation and find no heat or no jets. Call the Service Center Monday-Friday 1-800-431-2876 for service.

MAINTAIN THE WATER LEVEL.
The water does evaporate more rapidly off the hot tub surface during cold, dry weather. Make sure that the water is above the skimmer line so you’ll have continued filtration and operational jets.
INSPECT YOUR HOT TUB COVER IN DAYLIGHT.
Check for for tears, leakage, or other deformities using our Hot Tub Cover Checkup Sheet. If it’s too heavy to lift, you’re wasting money on energy costs.
