How to Winterize Your Inflatable Hot Tub: 4 Essential Tips
Share
As temperatures drop, it’s crucial to prepare your inflatable hot tub for the colder months to protect it from damage and ensure it’s ready for use when the weather warms up. Winterizing your inflatable hot tub doesn’t have to be complicated. With these four practical tips, you can safeguard your investment and keep it in great condition year-round.
1. Drain and Clean Your Hot Tub Thoroughly
The first step in winterizing your inflatable hot tub is to drain the water completely. Use a submersible pump or the built-in drainage valve for efficient removal. Once drained, clean the interior surface with a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any residue or buildup. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to prevent chemical buildup during storage.
2. Dry Every Component Completely
Moisture is your hot tub’s worst enemy during winter storage. After cleaning, use a towel to dry the tub’s interior and exterior surfaces. Don’t forget the filter housing, pump connections, and any other components where water might linger. Allow the hot tub to air-dry fully before moving to the next step to prevent mold or mildew.
3. Store Your Hot Tub in a Safe Location
Choose a storage area that’s clean, dry, and protected from freezing temperatures. Fold your inflatable hot tub carefully, following the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid creasing or damaging the material. Place it in its original storage bag or a durable container to protect it from dust and pests. Visit our Hot Tub Care Collection for storage solutions and accessories.
4. Maintain Your Accessories
Winterizing your hot tub isn’t just about the spa itself. Clean and store all accessories, including filters, pumps, and covers. Inspect these items for wear and tear and replace anything that’s damaged. Properly storing your accessories will ensure they’re ready to use when you reopen your hot tub in the spring.

Bonus Tip: Consider Off-Season Maintenance
While your hot tub is out of use, it’s a great time to plan any necessary repairs or upgrades. Regular maintenance during the off-season can extend the life of your hot tub and improve its performance for years to come.
