The winter time is often the best time to use your spa tub. A cold clear night can make the spa bath feel even better than usual.

JUNISLAND Spas are manufactured with a Balboa control pack (If you like) that protects against freezing and will automatically come on if the water temperature reaches 40 degrees F. Freeze protection is enabled regardless of spa bath status. In the case that you do want to drain your spa tub in the winter months remember JUNISLAND Spas strongly recommends you get a qualified service company to perform a winterization on the spa tub.

Your spa tub also comes with its own filtration system and the filter cartridge will need to be removed and rinsed from time to time. We recommend however you do this at least fortnightly to extend the life of your filter but most importantly to ensure your water is crystal clear, clean and safe. Another good idea is to buy an extra filter and rotate use between sets. This will extend the life of your two sets of filters to around 3 years.

Depending on the air temperature, it is more likely that your spa's pump will freeze first. The water in the spa tub is better insulated and will take a great deal longer to freeze.

Emptying and winterizing the spa is another option, if you have a concern.
