How Do I Prepare My Hot Tub for Winter?

Cold weather requires extra care when using or storing your RELXTIME inflatable hot tub.

Can I Use My Hot Tub in Cold Weather?

When the ambient temperature falls below 50°F (10°C), the heater works more slowly than normal.

If you continue using your spa in colder weather, allow additional time for the water to reach your desired temperature. In cold weather, heating the water can take approximately 12–24 hours, depending on the starting water temperature and outdoor conditions.

The spa should not be installed or used when the ambient temperature is below 39.2°F (4°C).

If You Stop Using Your Spa

If you plan to leave your spa unused for an extended period, drain the water completely and follow the proper storage procedure.

After draining, use the BUBBLE function to help remove residual water from the ventilation system. Clean and thoroughly dry the spa, then completely deflate it before storing.

For the complete storage procedure, see How to Store Your RELXTIME Inflatable Hot Tub.

Important Cold Weather Precaution

Do not switch on the spa if the water inside is frozen.

If temperatures are expected to fall below freezing, storing the spa in a dry and frost-free place is recommended.
