at 5:30 Tuesday night l started to change the water in the hot tub…

a bit late to start the process, but that was how the day had gone, and it really needed to be done…

turned it off, brought up the pump, connected it to the large hose and within twenty minutes it was almost empty… it is so much quicker with the larger hose…

next I had to climb in and scoop out the last of the water and give it a good wipe down… that part always takes time, usually half an hour or so…

finally, after putting in the new filter, the water started to go in…

forty-five minutes later it was full and ready to be turned back on…

plugged back in and by Thursday morning it was ready for chemicals… it takes about five different ones, which go in one every twenty minutes or so, to get it ready for jumping in;-)…

had a nice time in the hot tub that evening, especially after all the work that had gone on over the last week…

tonight I enjoyed another visit to the tub and although it was overcast, it wasn’t raining or windy, lol… yay…
