Winterizing portable hot tub - are drain plugs oriented properly?

[presse55]

Hello,

I'll be winterizing our hot tub shortly - it gets very cold up in Montreal, our area is prone to power failures, and sometimes we are away from home days at a time.

I noticed that the drain plugs on two of the pumps are not oriented at the very lowest position - see what I mean here.

Is this something I need fixed?

I am planning to disconnect inputs/outputs to all pumps, heater & salt system; still I'm curious!

Thanks in advance

I would blow air through all openings and even consider pumping in some RV anti-freeze using a turkey baster or garden sprayer. Just my $.02
