The pump should be inside the spa. If your pump’s outflow hose is not long enough to reach a drain, connect it to a garden hose. The spa should run for a few minutes after the pump is turned on. If you’re using a pump with a hose that’s too long, you’ll need to shorten the hose to make it reach the drain.
You can do this by cutting a piece of PVC pipe about 1/2-inch in length. Cut the pipe so that it’s about the same length as the outlet hose, and connect the two ends together. Make sure that the end that you cut is longer than the rest of the length of pipe. Then, attach the other end to your hose and tighten it down.

Where is drain plug on hot tub?
You should see a drain cap at the bottom of the spa if you look at the controls of your hot tub. You can see a small hole in the center of the cap when you remove it. Fill the bathtub with hot water. If you’re using a shower head, make sure it’s on the lowest setting. You don’t want it to be too hot, but not hot enough to burn your skin.
The water should be about 1/2 to 3/4 full of water, depending on how big your tub is and how much water you want to use. Make sure you have enough water to fill the tub to the top, so that you won’t have to refill it every time you go to wash your hair or brush your teeth.
It’s also a good idea to add a few drops of dish soap to your bathwater to make it a little more lather-y. Once you’ve filled it up, turn it on and let it run for a minute or two. Then turn the shower off and leave it alone for the next few minutes. When you come back to it, it should look like the picture below.
How do you drain a hot tub fast?
The fastest way to drain a hot tub is to use a submersible pump. The flow rate of the pump affects the speed at which the hot tub is drained.
If you choose one that can remove up to 30 gallons of water per minute (1,800 gallons per hour), you won’t have to wait long for the water to cool down before you can drain the tub.
If you’re using a pump, you’ll want to make sure that it’s set to the lowest setting possible.
Can I empty my hot tub into the drain?
In normal circumstances, it is acceptable to drain your hot tub into the nearest main drain. If you want to make sure the water is balanced, you should make sure the chlorine levels are not too low. If you are using a water softener, you will need to ensure that the system is running at the correct temperature and pressure.
Should I leave my inflatable hot tub on all the time?
Leave it running! This may be surprising to hear, but turning your inflatable spa off frequently is actually not the most efficient. If you want to use your inflatable hot tub more than three times a week, the most economical and effective way is to keep the water running for a few minutes at a time, then turn it off and let it cool down.
How do I store my inflatable hot tub for winter?
It isn’t necessary to drain and deflate your inflatable hot tub before storing and some Lay Z Spa owners prefer to pop their hot tub into a shed or garage inflated. If you have enough space, you can make sure that nothing on the ground will damage the tub.
If you don’t have a garage or shed, you can also store your Hot Tub in your car. If you’re going to store it in a car, make sure that it is airtight and has a tight fitting lid to prevent water from leaking out of the bottom of your vehicle.
