Imagine relaxing in your hot tub with the snow all around you, surrounded by the beautiful Saskatoon landscape and enjoying the peace and quiet in the privacy of your own backyard.

More and more hot tub users are utilizing their hot tubs all year round and many enjoy feeling the brisk cold and then submerging into the warm relaxing water. Hot tubs are a wonderful way to relax during the winter months, but there are a few things to remember.

Make sure you keep an eye on your hot tub's temperature. The colder the temperature outside, the longer it will take for your hot tub to reach its optimal temperature. Be sure to keep your hot tub running longer during the winter months to ensure it will work properly all year round.

You'll also need a heavy hot tub cover with insulation. Insulation will keep the heat from escaping and also protect your hot tub from snowy conditions, especially in areas like Saskatoon and Calgary - where snow fall is quite high. A floating blanket is also a good idea to help protect your hot tub.

When a Saskatoon winter storm comes through, be sure to think of your hot tub afterwards. Remember to remove any snow that is lying on the hot tub cover. Having heavy snow on top of your hot tub cover poses an added risk of deterioration and damage.

Lastly, check to see if your hot tub comes with a freeze protection system or automatic heat controls. These features can help to correct your hot tub temperature and can prevent freezing.
