A great question to ask is “Should I winterize my hot tub or swim spa in Texas?” The best answer…it depends. If you’re going to use the hot tub/swim spa, just let it run normally. Central Texas winters are fairly light as compared to northern states. Rest assured, you should not have to add any extra chemicals other than your normal routine. Most modern spas are very energy efficient and running them all winter isn’t going to break the bank.

What to do if you plan to travel during winter? If you’re going away for a few weeks go ahead and sanitize your water before you leave for your trip. You’ll want to check for any pipes that do not have insulation and also be sure to check that the cover and child safety locks are securely in place (if installed). Furthermore, you can go ahead an lower the temperature of the spa around 10 degrees.

These few precautions can save you a few headaches in the winter. But, as mentioned before when discussing winter and hot tubs/swim spas in San Antonio and surrounding areas, you can just continue your normal routine. With days that reach up into the mid-80s at times, you’ll be able to use your spa year round in Central Texas. Just be sure to keep up your normal maintenance!
