Mike - we've had a hot tub for about 5 or 6 years. Pretty simple to maintain. If you are not planning to use it - I'd drain it until you are ready- assuming temps won't be below freezing. It's near impossible to drain 100% of the water out of the pipes though - so it might be best to just leave it running but at a lower temp then normal - 80 or whatever. I get supplies from Leslie's and they do free water testing. Most of the maintenance with our local city water is just adding shock.
