jimbos Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is flushing a must when changing water? When we purchased our first set of chemicals, we were told we needed to add a flushing chemical each and every time we drain/refill the tub. The only problem is we have only found a flushing chemical from one manufacturer. Is it really necessary each time or what is the general feeling here? Thanks in advance for your input!

Jimbos: In 7 years of owning a hot tub I never used chemicals to clean the tub. Just warm water and a brush when it was empty, then a couple of rinses with the garden hose. I would also disconnect the pumps and let the dirty water that would not drain through the floor drain escape that way. No one ever picked up a rash using my tub either so I guess the routine worked OK. I think they just want to sell you more consumables. Greg.

Chas Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is flushing a must when changing water? In close to 25 years of ownership, and over 21 years selling these things, I have only flushed once - and that was the time I was given a sample kit of EcoOne to try out. The flush was part of the normal start up for that system. Also - I have begun to sell a flush product for my long-term Baqua users. It seems to be a must due to the gunk that Baqua tends to build up everywhere in a system. Other than that - no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
