SHORT ANSWER: To empty your hot tub, you can either use the tub's built-in drain valve or a submersible pump. We generally recommend using a pump because it's much faster (a submersible pump can typically drain a hot tub in just 10 to 15 minutes) and because you're less likely to get airlocks and error codes.
Draining your hot tub is a routine part of proper spa maintenance. Emptying your tub correctly will save time, help protect the internal components, and make the whole cleaning and refilling process much easier.
In this guide, we will explain how to empty your hot tub safely, where to find the drain valve, and why we usually recommend using a submersible pump instead.
