In my experience, draining the hot tub may cost you more in the long run. My house had a hot tub when I bought it, and the owner had drained it. When I filled it back up, I found that all of the seals around the plumbing and valves had dried up and either leaked or caused problems with the operation of the jets. Needless to say, it is expensive and time consuming to repair the seals. I suspect that this problem would not have happened if the tub had been left filled with water.
