It was a simple matter of flipping the circuit breakers and cutting the power at the outdoor fuse box. The power to the backyard was the income tax return of 2003 or so.
Draining it was critical tonight once we disconnected the power. It's supposed to get much colder for the rest of the weekend and we feared the water in the pump & plumbing would freeze and destroy the innards. The 400+ gallons in the tub itself probably wouldn't have frozen but there was a chance.
Yeah, there was a shelter idea but doing it right is a very expensive proposition. We decided to buy a tropical island instead.
