Can you drain a cold plunge tub?

Yes, you can drain a cold plunge tub, and it's a necessary part of regular maintenance. Draining allows you to clean the tub properly and refill it with fresh water, which is crucial for hygiene and optimal performance. Most tubs come equipped with a drainage valve that facilitates this process.

It's advisable to drain the tub periodically, especially if you notice changes in water clarity or smell. Depending on usage, a good rule of thumb is to drain and clean the tub every few weeks or after heavy use.

For example, after a series of intense workout sessions, draining the tub can help reset the water quality and ensure a clean bathing experience afterward.

Pro Tip: Use a wet/dry vacuum to assist with draining if your tub doesn’t have an effective drainage system.

However, if your cold plunge is connected to a filtration system, ensure that you follow the proper procedures for refreshing the water to avoid losing vital filtration capabilities.
