New Advice for Using for Maintaining Hot Tubs in the Winter

Online, December 9, 2013 (Newswire.com) - A hot tub is a major investment and not just one that can only be enjoyed in the short months of the UK summer. With the right maintenance a hot tub can be enjoyed throughout the winter too, providing unique social opportunities for winter entertaining or for continuing enjoying the health and relaxation benefits a spa tub affords.

Hot tub specialist Transport a Tub (http://www.transportatub.co.uk/) provides advice on the best way to maintain hot tubs for safe use in the colder months.

With the right maintenance a hot tub can be enjoyed throughout the winter too, providing unique social opportunities for winter entertaining or for continuing enjoying the health and relaxation benefits a spa tub affords.

Avoiding the Freeze

The most important winter maintenance for a heated tub is to avoid pipes and components freezing that can cause irreparable damage to the tub. Most tubs have a 'no freeze' setting, if not a timer set for heating for around 15 minutes each hour is advisable.

Avoid Snow

Keep snow from piling onto the hot tub's cover. Covers are not designed to hold weight and can be torn allowing water to leak into the tub.

Early Season Cleaning

To avoid draining and cleaning a hot tub in the middle of the winter, complete the drain, clean and chemical maintenance early in the season or at the end of the autumn so the hot tub is safe for use throughout the winter and no draining is necessary mid-winter.
There's no reason not to enjoy a hot tub right throughout the winter. For more information on winter heated tub use, contact Transport a Tub on 0115 854 7315 or visit http://www.transportatub.co.uk/.
