Two things to consider when using your tub in the winter is to follow some extra steps for filling and to have an exit plan.
Be Cautious When Filling
When filling your hot tub, there are several filtering steps you go through. During the winter you would follow those steps on top of some extra. One step is to make sure you thoroughly clear the top and lid of any snow or ice before filling it. When water and ice are mixed, a super slick and sticky surface will be the result. This can cause your hand, or any part of your body that touches, to become stuck to the surface. The sticking would not be pleasant or easy to remove and can cause you to rip skin tissues.
This is why you need to make sure the lid and rim of your tub is clear. Otherwise, you may end up hurting yourself. Another step is to make sure your tub is completely drained after use. Water expands when cold, which means any water left on the pipes can cause a burst. Knowing this, you want to be extra careful when draining. Letting your tub drain for a few hours is best, or until you no longer see any drops of water.
Have a Plan of Exit
In addition to making sure your tub is running smoothly and safely, you want to decide beforehand, how you will get out of your tub and back inside your home. Getting out of the tub in the summer doesn’t shock your body like the cold does. To avoid getting sick, make sure you keep a fluffy towel or bathrobe nearby, and have good footwear ready to step into. It is recommended that you keep these items away from any liquid. Placing them on a chair or stool will help. In addition, you want to make should your hands are completely dry before touching any metal. Otherwise your hand may stick to it.
