WINTERIZING
If it is necessary to leave your hot tub unattended for long periods of time during cold weather
conditions, you should drain your hot tub to avoid accidental freezing caused by power
outages. Your TubLicious dealer can perform the following winterizing procedures if you are
not completely comfortable with them.
Refer to DRAINING YOUR TUBLICIOUS HOT TUB section on Page 8.
After draining, your TubLicious hot tub may still have water remaining in the
equipment and plumbing fittings. Disconnect the hand tightened union fittings going to
and from the pump (Refer to Page 24). Be careful not to lose the o-rings between the
unions and pump housing.
Leave drain valve in the open position and safety cap off.
To completely drain the plumbing lines, a wet/dry shop vac can be used to draw out
any remaining water. Place the vac hose over the jet fittings in the hot tub as well as
the plumbing lines in the equipment area.
Remove the filter cartridge and store in a warm dry area.
Clean the spa shell and place hot tub cover on hot tub. Be sure to lock the cover in
place in case of high winds or rain.
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS: To eliminate freezing in the event of equipment failure, use a 100-
watt light bulb or small heater via extension cord and place it in the equipment area, keeping
it away from plumbing lines. This will help for a short period of time until proper service can
be rendered.
SPRINGTIME START UP
If you winterized your TubLicious Hot Tub we recommend you contact your authorized
TubLicious Service Provider to restart your unit.
