Just flushed and drain this weekend. What a pain but worth it. I had my new spa for 1 month now and my god the stuff that came out...oh mygod upchuk! <back now> Put Ahhsome as directed with 10PPM bleach to shock. Run jets for 30 min. Get a terrycloth (easier but can scratch)/microfiber (preferred) towel you will be throwing away and wipe the ring of caked on crisco looking grease. It will be green-brown. Green is probably machine oil/grease from factory (it smells like equipment). Now here is the key point: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JUST WIPE IT. It will be super sticky and caked on like grease in oven. Simply dip your rag in the spa and start wiping. Damp will easily remove this crap. Wring it out as you go. Ahhsome will bond the grease so it cannot be reintroduced into the water. If the gunk is thick, it will drop into the spa and lie on whatever surface it touches. Simply wipe it up with your nasty rag...the rag will encapsulate yuckies in cloth fibers! Shock it to 10PPM again (bleach) as your will have very little FC and run it again for 60min and repeat wipe off with another rag. Let spa sit an hour or two. Now shock water to 50PPM and run 1 hour. You will have very little gunk now to wipe off. Added 32oz H202, run jets 15min, and drain water. Once drained run all jets 10 seconds. Run blower/air 10seconds. Use shop VAC to remove all water from jets, then flush top jets with fresh water to move water out of lower jets. Suck this out too with shopVAC. dry the spa with microfiber. Add 1/8 teaspoon Ahhsome in 32oz spray bottle and clean entire spa. Any residual gunk will wipe easily with this solution. Refill SPA making sure to push water into top jets to make air bubble priming easier on startup.
