Hot tubs can take as long as 2 hours to empty fully using the drainage spigot. The good news is that the time can be significantly reduced with the right equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using a submersible pump, you can reduce the amount of time it takes to drain your hot tub to as little as 6 minutes for small spas and 21 minutes for very large spas. Another quick way is to siphon the water using a wet\/dry shop vacuum fitted with a wide-diameter hose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, it’s a no-brainer to own both. The submersible pump makes light work of draining, and the wet\/dry shop vacuum comes is worth its weight in gold for removing the last inch or two of water left at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fastest method for draining a hot tub is using a submersible pump with automatic shut-off<\/a><\/strong>. It can be attached to a much wider-diameter hose than a conventional garden hose, making it pump out water faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The faster the pump flow rate, the faster the draining speed. For instance, a submersible pump working at a typical rate of 33 gallons per minute will empty a 200-gallon spa in 6 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such a flow rate is equivalent to 2,000 gallons (7,600 liters) per hour. Here is a table demonstrating how long it’ll take to drain your spa at that rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSubmersible pump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
