Winterizing Your Hydropool Hot Tub - Hydropool serenity hot tubs Owner's Manual

In the event that you do not wish to use your hot tub year-
round, it is very important that you properly winterize to pro-
tect against damage from freezing. Your HYDROPOOL re-
tailer can perform this service for a nominal fee. If you
choose to winterize your hot tub yourself, please follow the
directions outlined below:
• Drain the hot tub entirely see section - DRAINING YOUR
HOT TUB
• Remove and clean the cartridge filter element see section -
CARTRIDGE FILTER
• Using a wet/dry utility vacuum, remove remaining water
from the jet openings, filter cartridge housing, and footwell.
• Either pour or use a turkey-baster where necessary to add
potable biodegradable RV antifreeze to areas such as
pump wet end, jet channels, filter housing, blower chan-
nels. DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE.
• Important: mixing potable biodegradable RV antifreeze
with water significantly reduces its ability to protect against
freezing. Therefore, it is very important ALL water is re-
moved from the hot tub plumbing before adding.
• Turn pump on for only a few seconds to circulate the anti-
freeze.
• Unthread and disconnect all unions in the support equip-
ment area. Remove lowest winter drain plug on pump face
plate. Repeat for all pumps, where applicable.

WINTERIZING YOUR HYDROPOOL HOT TUB

WINTER DRAIN PLUGS
• Cover exposed plumbing connections with plastic bags
and duct tape.
• Where practical, disconnect hot tub support equipment
and store in a dry heated area.
• Install the safety hardcover, and cover the entire hot tub
with a tarp to prevent premature weathering of the cabinet
and the safety hard cover.
• Remove snow build up regularly to prevent damage to the
safety hard cover.
• It is assumed that your HYDROPOOL hot tub has been
properly installed on a reinforced concrete pad to elimi-
nate lifting of the hot tub due to hydrostatic ground water
pressure.
If you are not 100% confident that your
hot tub is properly winterized, please
consult your authorized HYDROPOOL
Hot Tub Retailer. Caution recommends
that an authorized Hydropool Retailer
winterize your hot tub in the initial year.
Damage as a result of freezing is not
covered by the warranty.
