Cleaning Hot Tub With Clr?

[vanderic74]

Hi

I just bought a house that came with a Hot Tub.

I am a novice, and as a novice I went to a spa specialist called Club Piscine in Montreal.

They recommanded me to do a thorough cleaning of the hot tub (pipes, whole system) with the CLR product.

It seems to be a very agressive way to clean my hot tub. Should I trust them and do it?

Is it ok? Anyone did it?

Thanks

Eric

I wouldn't use CLR. Look for Natural Chemistry Spa Purge. It pull all the crap out of the plumbing lines alot better than just shocking. Swirl Away is another one

I would have liked to use your advice, but I already bought 2 bottles of CLR

Do you think it would actually damage the spa, pipes, system or any part of the spa?

Even though you recommend other products, is CLR still ok?

Thanks

Use the CLR only if you have a calcium buildup for it to attack. Put it on the shelf otherwise.

Instead I suggest you look at this Spa Decontamination procedure.
