If you really don't want to use it, you might just turn down the heat to 65 or 70 and let it run that way, keeping the cover on it. I'm not sure if you tried to drain it out if you would get all the water out of the pipes anyway.

Like someone else said, keep the water temperature cool, the lid on, and the electricity bill will hardly be noticeable. You risk the pipes freezing if there is even a small amount of water left. don’t close it.

Nothing finer than sitting in the hot tub with snow on the ground sipping hot cocoa with friends and lovers! If not, you can keep it filled but you will want to keep it circulating and keep the minimum amount of chems in it. If you want to go total dormant, then you want to check to see if your tub is gonna 'float' if you empty it. If you can drain it without it popping out of the ground your in like flint! Just drain it and clean the walls then best to put a cover over it. Good luck! If you can handle the electric bills, keep it open and use it!
