Flush Away the Bacteria in your Hot Tub
March 14/2020

After several months (or possibly years) of use, your hot tub plumbing can become coated with all kinds of slimy and barbaric things! Simply draining and refilling your hot tub on a regular basis will not totally eliminate all of that build up. It’s recommended to flush your hot tub with a special solution called Swirl Away on a yearly basis (sometimes every 6 months depending on your water chemistry). This product prevents the buildup of bacteria as well as hard water deposits. Here is how to properly flush your hot tub with this product.

Before You Drain
It is recommended to apply this product to the water at the end of your 3-4 month fill, but before you do, take out your hot tub filters! If you don’t, the filters will become very blue and gunked up! After removing your filters, apply the solution and allow it to circulate throughout the water with the jets on high speed.

Keep on Swirlin’
Allow the product to circulate for a minimum of 2 cycles (totaling around 30 mins). You can allow this product to circulate longer if you feel it is needed; it will not affect anything. You may see a lot of foam start to form on the surface of the hot tub, which is an indication that it is indeed doing its job! Remember, you filters should still be out at this point!

Rinse and Repeat
After the solution has been circulated around for awhile, it’s now time to drain the hot tub. Once the hot tub has been completely drained, you will want to fill it back up again. Allow the jets to run for at least one more full cycle, to remove any of the last bit of suds that may be present in the water still. The filters will still be removed from the hot tub at this time. Repeat the process by draining and refilling the hot tub again. Once you refill the hot tub up again, insert your filters back in the spa after cleaning them (or replace them if needed). You are now ready to perform your normal chemical start up to get the hot tub back up and ready for use! You will be relaxing again in no time!
