WINTER USE INSTRUCTIONS
Rexener hot tub products have been designed for tough Northern conditions. Hot tub kits are frost-proof
when used and maintained correctly.
Correct use of the drainage valve in winter
During winter use, it is important to keep the pool’s drainage pipe empty, so that it does not freeze. When
you use the pool’s bottom plug, the drainage pipe remains empty, and the problems caused by freezing
are thus avoided. When drainage pipes are equipped with a drainage valve, it is important to keep the
drainage valve open or at least 45 degrees in the open position during the winter. If the drainage valve
is closed, water can remain inside the drainage valve and pipe, causing damage when it freezes. A pool
bottom plug must be used in all hot tub versions.
Winter storage of heaters
•
Drain the pool and heating devices with pipes completely
•
Cover the pool and accessories so that they do not touch snow and ice directly.
•
Keep the plug delivered with the pool for later use.
•
Ensure that snow does not accumulate in the support frame or pool of the hot tub kit.

PLEASE NOTE! THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY FREEZING
Using heaters in winter
The hot tub kit can also be used in winter. Model-specific differences and precautions must be observed
during winter use.
In winter use, it is important to consider especially blocks caused by freezing in the water-flow channels.
Please note! Water must not be allowed to freeze in either heating mode (wood stove/REXENER PR200
water heater). Maintain the water temperature so that it does not freeze.
The wood stove (REXENER Silence) must not be used if ice is detected in the water-flow piping or stove,
and water cannot circulate normally. If you notice that the water flow channels are frozen, the stove
should be removed and taken to a warm space to thaw.
The REXENER PR200 water heater (REXENER Aurora/Polar) is excellent for winter use. The most important
thing is to ensure that the flow channels are not blocked, and water flows normally.
If you notice that a flow channel has frozen, it must be thawed before starting the pump and heater.
During winter use, it is recommended to add enough warm water into the pool to open the pump and
flow channels, and allow water to flow freely in the piping.
If the circulation pump freezes, it can be started by pouring 1 L of warm water into the circulation pump.
After this, the pool can be filled with water normally. You can maintain the water temperature at ten
degrees, for example, and heat the water quickly to an optimal bathing temperature.
