Prepare Your In-ground Spa for Colder Temperatures

As you well know, South Carolina doesn’t experience extremely harsh temperatures in the winter. However, it’s still good to prepare your spa for colder temperatures, especially if you plan on not using it until the warmer months. The first step is giving your spa a proper cleaning! Make sure all debris and dirt are removed from the water and surrounding edges. Also, make sure the water is balanced at the proper pH levels to ensure protection from bacteria and other growths while the spa isn’t being used. Since Taylors, SC has a high water table, you do NOT want to completely drain your spa. If you do, you leave your spa susceptible to damage as the ground freezes and expands with the colder weather. Instead, reduce the water in your spa to just below the lip. Leaving some water in your outdoor spa will give it enough weight to remain intact in the ground. Lastly, you’ll want to cover your spa with a sturdy, weather-proof cover. A winter cover should be stronger than a summer cover and should be damage-free. With these quick and easy steps, you can protect your outdoor spa over the winter and be able to enjoy it when the sun comes out again!
