When temperatures start to drop again, it’s important to prepare your Gardentub for the winter season. This prevents damage to the faucet, shower or pipes and keeps your Gardentub in top condition. With these three simple steps, your Gardentub will be winterproof in no time.
Make sure the tub is completely empty
When it has rained heavily, some water may remain in the tub even with the cover on. This water can freeze, which is not good for the tub. Always keep the click-clack drain open so rainwater can escape immediately. A great extra solution is to place the Gardentub on its side temporarily. This way, no water can enter and the tub stays completely dry.
Use the cover
The cover keeps the tub clean and protects it from dirt, reducing maintenance in spring. Ideally, place the Gardentub on its side so no puddles can remain on top of the cover. Check occasionally during winter to make sure no water is collecting on the cover and remove it if necessary.
Drain the pipes, faucet and shower completely
Make sure no water remains in the pipes, faucet or shower. Residual water can freeze and cause parts to crack. Fully drain all pipes and ensure everything is completely dry before temperatures drop further.
Ready for the cold: this is how your Gardentub survives winter worry-free
With these simple winter tips, your Gardentub stays protected from rain, frost and dirt. By keeping the tub empty, using the cover properly and draining all pipes, you extend the lifespan of your outdoor tub and prevent unnecessary damage. This way, you can start the new garden season without worries and enjoy your Gardentub right away.
