Calcium flakes

Recommended Posts

I recently took the old Softub out of the garage and fired it up.  it had been sitting for several years.    it's working but there are lots of white flakes in the water. I was told they are calcium.   Any advice on getting rid of it?  should I try to use a pool skimmer?  Or drain the tub and refill?

thanks

Hi Gary, I suggest purging the tub with the water that is there. Use a good purge like Ahh-some jetted tub cleaner. Once that's done, empty the tub and refill it. When you refill, add a stain and scale remover to the fresh water. Rinse your filter cartridge after 24 hours to release anything that it's collected. You should be using a new filter cartridge. 

Good luck,
