Professional hot tub emptying - water drained safely, shell cleaned if needed. Your hot tub ready for fresh water and a fresh start.
Time for Fresh Water
Hot tub water doesn't last forever. Even well-maintained water eventually needs replacing - chemicals stop working and water quality drops. Time to empty and start fresh.
💡 Pro tip: Schedule emptying when you're ready to refill. Hot tub shells shouldn't sit empty in direct sun - can damage the surface.

🔧 DIY Tips
Emptying your hot tub yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Submersible pump (or built-in drain)
- Hose long enough to reach drain
- Cloths for shell wipe
- Time (it's slow)
📐 Draining steps
- Turn off power completely
- Remove filter for cleaning
- Connect pump/open drain
- Direct water to appropriate drain
- Pump from footwell last
- Wipe shell while empty
⚠️ Important notes
- Don't leave empty in sun
- Chemical water isn't good for plants
- Check drain can handle volume
- Some areas have disposal rules
💡 Pro trick: Use a wet-vac to get the last bits out of the footwell and jets. Much faster than sponging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the water go?
Usually to a drain or soakaway - we check what's appropriate for your garden. Treated hot tub water shouldn't go directly onto plants or lawns. We'll advise on best disposal.
Do you clean the tub after emptying?
We can do a basic shell clean while empty - wipe down and remove waterline marks. Full deep clean is additional but worth doing when water's out.
How often should hot tubs be emptied?
Every 3-4 months typically, depending on use and chemical maintenance. More users means more frequent changes. You'll know - water gets cloudy and chemicals stop balancing.
Can you refill it too?
We can start the refill from your hose. Chemical balancing is usually best done by you over the following days, or by a hot tub specialist.
