How can I get the most out of my new hot tub?

• <div><p>It’s easy to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/11-tips-keeping-your-hot-tub-clean-and-guests-happy.htm">keep your hot tub clean</a> and safe for all to enjoy by following a few simple tips:</p><ul><li><p>Make sure anyone who uses the hot tub rinses themselves and their swimsuits off, perhaps in an outdoor shower near the hot tub. </p></li><li><p>Don’t add anything to your hot tub’s water. Bath oils and bubble bath liquids might seem like a fun addition to your hot tub experience, but these substances will turn the water in your tub foamy and its surfaces hard to clean. </p></li><li><p>Restrict eating in the tub to light snacks that you can easily clean out if there’s any spillage. Crumbs from crackers and chips can be difficult to pick up. </p></li><li><p>Make it a no-pet zone. Pet fur and dander can pose a cleaning issue, but it’s also not a great idea for your pet’s health and safety. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Where should you drain a hot tub?

• <div><p>Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that’s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors’ property. </p></div>
