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...

Are you leaving the heat on to the house at say 55 or so or are you turning that off?...
Will be turning off the heat completely to the main living level, and only heating the basement. Where I live is mostly clay and we get some extreme cold during the winter. Basement walls suffer when the heat is totally turned off allowing the frost to penetrate deep into the ground causing frost heaving.
Honestly, the more I look at that jetted tub, the more I'm thinking that there is not going to be an issue. Everything slopes down to drain and the pump suction line slopes down also. The inlet into the pump is at the very base of the pump, so any water left would be minimal at best.
My prior place I would completely turn off, but it was designed to do that. Didn't have any of these "toys" that could hide water and freeze.
