EASY WAY TO FILL AND DRAIN YOUR HOT TUB WITHOUT HARD-PLUMBING

Long work hours, deadlines and so much workload like heavy lifting, physical labour and mental stress. These are just a few things and average person experiences every day at work or at school, or whatever career path he or she has chosen. This is the modern man—a career motivated individual. Busy schedules fill up an entire week and sleep is but a luxury. Sometimes, there is no more time for play and fun or taking up a small hobby. You are either too busy or too tired to do so that all you want to do is sleep. But as times go by, work has been loading up more and mere sleep and weekend breaks are not enough. People like to come home every night to a relaxing environment, or something to relieve the stress. This is where a hot tub spa comes in. Now, some people find it quite a hassle getting a hot tub spa and doing all the work in installing and plumbing it yourself. Yes, a plumber is the best way to deal with this dilemma as a plumber knows his or her way with a hot tub spa but for a certain price of-course.
If you want to do this your own way, reading and understanding the instruction manual that comes with your hot tub pa will be what you need and can be very helpful. In the manual, you will find all the necessary equipment you need to deal with your hot tub spa. Most people think that a hot tub spa should be hard-plumbed into your home’s plumbing system. Yes, this is the best way, if you ask me as the hot tub will be integrated into your system and everything is convenient with a twist or push or a button. But the thing is, you can hardly do this without a professional plumber and without doing a lot of work which requires some bit of construction and more expenses. It would be such an inconvenience having to open up pipes and build other stuff in the home to accommodate the hot tub spa and spending a lot is also impractical.

The easiest way to use your hot tub is surprisingly ordinary. A garden hose can usually do the job of filling up and draining your hot tub for you! Simply place the garden hose in your empty hot tub and run the water until it is filled to the fill line indicated in the interior of your hot tub. Filling up to the fill line is important as too much water will let the hot tub overflow and get your wires and other stuff soaked and filling it too little will get air into the jet when they are ran. So it is essential you fill the tub up to its indicated fill line.
Draining your hot tub is also very easy, still employing the aid of your garden hose. At the back of your hot tub, you will find a compartment which houses the drain pipe. Attach your garden hose to the drain pipe and remove the drain pipe to start draining the hot tub. This process usually takes around an hour to an hour and a half to drain completely. Yes, a bit long. But if you want a quicker process, you may get a drain pump at your local hardware store or hot tub retailer. You lower this device onto the hot tub flow and start pumping water out quicker. It takes around 45 minutes or so to drain completely.
