While you can\u2019t control the path of the storm or when it will hit, you can do your best to minimize the damage. For many, the to-do list includes installing storm shutters, preparing an emergency kit, and securing personal items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But spa owners might also be concerned about protecting their hot tub during a hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the safety of your loved ones should come first, there are things you can do to protect your hot tub investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-3-keep-it-filled-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"hot tub hurricane\" class=\"wp-image-303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-3-keep-it-filled-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-3-keep-it-filled-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-3-keep-it-filled-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-3-keep-it-filled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>When a hurricane is imminent, It&#8217;s important to keep your hot tub filled. The water will make the spa heavier, making it more likely it will stay where it belongs during the storm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prepare Hot Tub for Hurricane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Drain Your Hot Tub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An acrylic hot tub can weigh anywhere from 600 pounds up to 1,500 pounds \u2014 or more \u2014&nbsp;depending on the size and manufacturer. But when it\u2019s filled with water, the weight multiplies. Think thousands of pounds. The added weight of the water will help your hot tub stay put during the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balance the Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The strong wind gusts of a hurricane can blow dirt, dust, and debris, all of which can negatively impact your hot tub water. To maintain the sanitation of your hot tub and prevent problems, it\u2019s important to balance and shock the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Related post: <a href=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/2020\/07\/31\/how-to-shock-a-pool\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Shock Pool Water<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn off the Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Power outages and surges are common during hurricanes. The change in power supply can be a fire risk, as well as potentially damage the electrical system of your hot tub. It\u2019s important to shut off the power to your hot tub at the circuit breaker. Don\u2019t forget to shut off any electrical \u201cadd-ons\u201d that might be connected to your hot tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-4-sandbag-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"hurricane sandbag\" class=\"wp-image-304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-4-sandbag-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-4-sandbag-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-4-sandbag-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-4-sandbag.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>If you expect even minor flooding during a hurricane, it&#8217;s important to sandbag the area around your hot tub. Sandbags can help protect the electrical components of your hot tub.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure Backyard Furniture and Other Items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The plastic lawn chair might be the last thing you are concerned about when you want to protect your hot tub during a hurricane. However, lawn furniture, toys, and garden accessories can cause a lot of damage when tossed across the yard at 70 mph. Be sure to secure all furniture and items in your backyard. Also consider trimming any tree limbs that could fall onto you\u2019re your hot tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strap Down Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have added the sanitizer to your hot tub and it has had a chance to move through the filters, it\u2019s time to put on the cover. The cover will help protect your hot tub from flying debris during a hurricane, which can affect the water and irreversibly damage your hot tub. Make sure that the cover is not only in securely but taut. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07FFTF6QR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=poolspaforum-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07FFTF6QR&amp;linkId=37444f63e7c0e642fcb21cc3111a4c29\">high wind straps<\/a> for extra protection. Properly installed and maintained, the straps can withstand 100 mph winds. The kits include adjust buckles, locking latches, and keys, which help keep the cover on during a hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Place Sandbags Around Perimeter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a foot of water around your spa or house from minor flooding can cause severe damage. If there\u2019s a chance that your yard or house will be flooded, sandbags can help prevent damage to your spa. The sandbag wall will help protect the electrical components of your spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-6-skim-water-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"clean hot tub water\" class=\"wp-image-306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-6-skim-water-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-6-skim-water-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-6-skim-water-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-6-skim-water.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Before turning on your hot tub after a hurricane, remove all large particles and debris from the water. Things like twigs and leaves can clog your hot tub filter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot Tubs After a Hurricane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a hurricane, it\u2019s important to make sure that the circuit breakers and other connections are dry. Do not turn on the breaker unless you are sure it\u2019s dry. It\u2019s also important to inspect the wiring, harnesses, and other connections around your hot tub before turning it on. Consult a licensed electrician if something does not look right or you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skim the Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even withthe cover on and high-wind straps, it\u2019s possible that debris has gotten into the water. Use a net or skimmer to remove large debris from the water. Cleaning out twigs, leaves, and dirt can save your hot tub filter and prevent clots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-5-checkchemicals-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"hot tub water chemistry\" class=\"wp-image-305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-5-checkchemicals-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-5-checkchemicals-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-5-checkchemicals-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poolspaforum.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Hurricane-5-checkchemicals.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Before you use your hot tub after a hurricane, be sure to test the water and treat it. Even with a cover, dirt and other debris can get into your water and affect the quality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balance Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Test the water and adjust the chemical levels as needed. You might also want to shock your hot tub water, especially if there was a lot of debris in the hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rinse Your Filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning your filter is a part of regular maintenance but is especially important after a hurricane. The filters would have caught any dirt and small debris that made its way into your spa during the storm. And clean filters will make it easier to keep those chemicals balanced so you can finally relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn on the Hot Tub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are certain that your hot tub is safe to turn on, you can then restore power to the spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sit Back and Relax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set the water to your favorite temperature, turn on the pumps to the jet, and relax into your favorite seat. The hurricane likely caused you stress and uncertainty. Taking time to relax, unwind, and just be will help you relieve stress and regain a sense of normalcy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The warning from the National Hurricane Center has been issued, and a storm is coming your way.
