Winterizing a jetted bath tub.
From what I can see, all lines slope down to the intake point so I'm guessing the tub is self draining (including pump) which should mean I don't need to do anything. Is this correct, or is there more...

I have 2 Jacuzzi brand tubs and they both DONT completely self drain. If you don't use the whirlpool part of the tub for a while, and then use it, you will swirl around old stale water and then I have to use dishwasher soap to clean it. I have looked at tubs in the store and was shocked to see the water jet lines with ups and downs as it was done by the factory. The only way I would leave it for the winter without heat is to take off the inlet screen and with the pump running, pour a couple of gallons of RV antifreeze in or more until I saw the pink antifreeze coming out of ALL the jet outlets.
WOW, I was hoping for something more like turn on the pump for 20 seconds. Going to have to rethink this, unless someone else has a better way. Thanks for the heads up.
