it was time to change the water and filter in the hot tub…

once I brought out the pump and connected it to the hose, I started the process at 10:20 am… twelve minutes later the pump came out and I emptied the last little bit of water with a pail and cloth… that took another twenty minutes…

once the new filter was in, I brought out the hose from the basement, repaired a piece of it, and hooked it back up to the outside tap…

filling the tub took about an hour and a half and just after 1 pm, the electricity was back on and the heating up process began…

it took just over a day to heat to 103°C…
