When winter hits, your spa or hot tub is vulnerable to ice damage if not properly prepared. Freezing temperatures can crack pipes, damage jets and destroy heaters. Pools of Fun’s spa winterization service ensures your hot tub or spa is safely shut down and protected, so it emerges from winter ready for warm, relaxing soaks.
Unlike pools, spas contain complex plumbing and equipment in a compact space. Cold weather can wreak havoc if water is left inside:
If you don’t plan to use your spa during winter, winterizing it is the smartest way to protect it.
Pools of Fun takes a thorough approach to spa winterization:
Once complete, we provide a checklist of the work performed and recommendations for spring startup.
Some homeowners choose to enjoy their spa throughout the winter; others prefer to shut it down. Consider:
If you plan to soak in winter, make sure your spa is well-insulated, keep the heater running, maintain water chemistry and ensure power never goes out. An insulated cover is essential.
If you’re away, busy or don’t enjoy cold‑weather soaks, winterizing eliminates the risk of freeze damage and reduces energy costs.
If you stop using your spa mid-winter, draining and winterizing properly—even in freezing temperatures—requires careful techniques. Don’t attempt this yourself; trust professionals.
Our team can help you decide which option is best for your lifestyle and ensure whichever route you choose is executed correctly.

Indoor spas are safe from freezing temperatures and generally do not need winterization. If your spa is in a cold, unheated space like a garage, it may still require protection.
Yes. Portable hot tubs have their own plumbing systems that need draining and protection. We winterize portable units as well as built‑in spas.
It’s best to winterize a few weeks before average temperatures drop below freezing. Once nightly lows consistently dip near freezing, schedule your service as soon as possible.
Once winterized, the spa should remain unused until properly reopened. Using a partially winterized spa can cause serious damage.
If you plan to use your spa in winter, keep it fully operational and maintain regular water care. We can review your insulation and cover to ensure efficient winter use.
