What happens if I leave my Cold Plunge empty?

Leaving your Cold Plunge empty for an extended period can lead to potential damage. Without water, the internal components can dry out, and seals may become cracked or warped, leading to leaks when you refill the tub.

Additionally, the absence of water can expose the material to the elements, risking deterioration over time. Therefore, it’s best to keep some water in the unit or properly winterize it if you plan to leave it unused for a while.

For instance, if you’re heading out of town for several weeks, consider partially filling the tub with water and treating it with a sanitizer to help maintain the condition of the interior.

A pro tip is to always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for recommendations on how to handle long periods of inactivity.

However, if you plan to store the unit for the winter, draining and cleaning it is preferable instead of leaving it empty.
