Hey, hi, tubers.
Did your hot tub finally come in and it is the middle of winter.
And.
You now can actually take delivery your hot tub.
And you're thinking there is no way I can take this hot tub on delivery
now that there is snow on the ground and things are happening, stay tuned.
And I'm going to tell you exactly how you can still take your hot tub when it is
this cold out and the snow is blowing.
So Hey, hot tempers.
Welcome back.
I just wanted to leave the snow up here for a second, just because, you know,
Everybody thinks that they can't take their hot tub in the middle of the winter.
And I can tell you, I live in South Dakota.
It is totally crazy cold out, and there is snow on the ground and yes,
we can deliver hot tubs in the winter.
We do deliver hot tubs in way.
We deliver me around.
We never stop.
Now.
I will tell you, there are days that we do not deliver hot tubs
when the wind is blowing and it's blizzard and you shouldn't be out.
We're not going to be out.
There's some reality to that.
So just kind of keep that in mind, but you could definitely still take your hot tub.
So here's a couple of tips that I can tell you and visit with your dealer
and see what your dealer has to say.
I am more making this.
So that, that my customers will know what's going to happen when, when
they take a winter hot tub delivery.
So number one, Once you decide that you're going to take a hot tub or
you know that your hot tubs coming and it may come in the winter.
You definitely want to do everything in your power to keep the spot
clear of snow and ice, where the hot tub is going to be going.
Don't wait till the day before.
Literally when you're shoveling the sidewalk all winter long, make sure you
shovel this, the space for your hot tub.
It's really, really important that you do that.
Um, because we can't really set the hot tub on top of snow and we can't
really set the hot tub on top of ice.
So really important that you do that.
Um, when you let's let let's turn the snow off.
So that's that's number one, make sure that you get your,
your, your space clear now.
We as a dealership at some point in is typically mid November, early December.
We actually start winterizing every single hot tub that
goes, goes out of the building.
So we don't even cause they can actually even freeze up.
So all the hot tubs that I sell are tested before the water is run through them.
And there's always a little bit of water left in those hot.
And so they can actually freeze when it gets the real bitter,
bitter cold on the truck from the warehouse to your house, they can
actually freeze up in that timeframe.
So there's a time there's a certain time where we actually just start
winterizing and that's just how it is.
So we open up your hot tub.
We blow out all the lines, we put antifreeze in it and
it's going to be just fine.
We do it all the time.
We've been doing it for years.
So.
It's a big deal.
So make sure that you, uh, don't let that stop you.
So we, we do that in w we will fill it up.
We'll winterize it in that way, in case the electrician, for some reason,
doesn't make it, or it didn't fire up right away or something along that lines.
We're safe.
We've got some time.
There is no pressure.
Everything's okay.
And so then when we show up to your house, we do prefer a path cleared
from wherever the truck's gonna park to where the hot tubs gonna go.
Now, with that being said, we do have a sled that we put the hot tubs on.
It's a big, huge sheet of really heavy duty plastic.
And the hot tubs are actually easier to move on that sled than they are on the.
Um, now what we can't do is we can't do big heaping drifts of snow.
I mean, we can't, we can't go up and overdress, but if we have a nice
flat snow blanket blanket of snow and your area's nice and flat, we
can actually do that pretty well.
I mean, it's almost preferred to do it that way, to be honest with you
so we can, we can deliver it there.
We're going to set it.
Now the most important tip that I can give you is, do not do not put water in that
hot tub until the electrician is there.
You have to have power to the hot tub before you put water in it.
If you can, if don't put, don't fill it on anticipation that the electrician's
going to be there, make sure that there is power a hundred percent to your hot
tub, and you definitely want to do that.
I will link a video up here of how you can actually fill your
hot tub from inside the house.
And you don't have to, to open up your faucets or anything like that.
Um, if, if that doesn't work, there's always, you can always go to your
washer and hook up to the washing machine faucet and fill it that way.
We really do not recommend filling your hot tub with, with hot water, because
you can drain that hot water heater.
And sometimes there's a.
Debris and the bottom of that hot water heater.
And then that ends up in your hot tub and you got to clean that out.
So just fill it with the regular regular tap water, your hot tub.
Well, heat up.
Now there are cases where we will actually bring in a freeze guard kit.
And what that is is that's a tank heater, and I'll have, I have a
video up here on that as well.
But it's a tank heater and we'll put that tank heater inside the bucket and
we'll put that in the water as well.
And we'll leave that with you until the hot tub actually gets hot.
So then you actually have two sources of water eating that.
Cause sometimes the heater line, well freeze up a little bit, not a big deal.
It's really not a big deal.
Once we get, get.
Warmed up and everything will fire off in the hot tub will heat on its own.
But when it gets to that super bitter, bitter cold, these are just
some of the things that we do to make sure you still get your hot tub
and you can get it when you want it.
I know hot tubs, aren't out there as the availability to get them at the
ultimate time that you want to get them.
Unfortunately, that is just the, the economy we're in at the
moment, but sooner or later, it is going to get back to normal.
But in the meantime, W we deliver year round, we never
stopped delivering hot tubs.
So there is definitely some things that you can do.
So just be ready.
Be patient.
Don't be totally disappointed if your hot tub gets moved a day or two.
I mean, it's, it could happen.
This is the part of the world we all live in.
We understand that winter happens and sometimes you have to reschedule things.
What I would tell you is that we typically rescheduled the whole schedule.
So, um, and we don't schedule as heavy in the winter as we do in the summer.
So there's usually a little bit of wiggle room where we can,
we can get you taken care of.
Just kind of try to keep the area where the hot tub's going clear, make sure
you're communicating with your electrician so that we can get power to your hot tub.
We will not fill that hot tub.
And we do not want you to fill that hot tub and tell
you have power to the hot tub.
We will come back or we will show you how to do it and what you need to do.
And we will definitely make sure that you are in good shape
and nothing's going to happen.
Do pay attention to the temperature, do pay attention whether your
hot tub is heating or not.
That's a big deal.
And when you do fill your hot tub for the first time, make sure you
go through the filter compartment.
If it's out of hot Springs, it's that gray stand pipe.
Make sure you do that because if you don't an air lock or once some of the
things that can sometimes make your hot tub, not fire up the first time we
just don't have any wiggle room there.
So it's really important that, that you're planning ahead.
I know you get excited.
I know it's Friday afternoon and you just got your hot tub and you want to fill.
Wait till Monday.
I'm just saying, I'm just asking you to wait until Monday, because
if something were to happen in your hot tub, doesn't fire up.
It's not always easy to get somebody out to you right away.
And if you are going to fill it on a Friday afternoon or a Saturday afternoon,
make sure you have a contingency plan in case that hot tub doesn't fire up.
It works.
I do it all the time, so there's no problems, but we just,
everybody has to communicate.
So communicate with.
Communicate with your electrician.
It, as long as everybody's talking with each other, you can definitely take your
hot tub in the middle of the winter.
And it is not a problem in any way, shape or form.
