Having enjoyed our new second-hand spa since August, we had looked forward to sitting in its warm waters under winter&#8217;s gentle snowfalls.  But I must have missed class the day they taught us about &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freezing\">freezing<\/a>&#8216; in school, and that ice is in fact what water turns into when the temperature drops below 32 degrees.  <\/p>\n<p \/>That&#8217;s exactly what happened in February.  So instead of enjoying our spa&#8217;s warm water in the snow, I was instead trying to thaw frozen lines and worrying about how much damage had been done.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>Repairs had to wait until Spring arrived, and a few pvc pipes had burst under winter&#8217;s weight.  But thanks to a helpful neighbor and an family eager to get back in the water, repair work finally began.  An overall upgrade seemed in order while we were at it, so a new power system, pump, blower, digital control pad and a couple of repaired jets were all added to the list.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p \/>And now it&#8217;s done, and we are happy.  Lesson&#8217;s learned; get a spa, any expense pays itself back tenfold with every relaxing minute.  And in the winter, either drain it, or keep it running.  Next winter we&#8217;ll enjoy that snowy dip \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casey Spa in Service In February I was reminded that I&#8217;m an idiot.
