Hi Dan. Yes, absolutley continue to use it. Over the last few years since we have put Aqua Clarity on the market one of the biggest "issues" we have had was customers not always liking to have to purchase a seperate gallon container to mix the product in. For some its just to much work to mix. So what we decided to do what to simply do all the mixing ourselves and put it in a 32 oz bottle that is ready to use the moment you have it. Simplicity is the word I like to use. This will be a slow transition as we are still selling the Aqua Clarity and have plenty of stock remaining. Same product in the 32 oz bottles just under our Ahh-some name instead of the Aqua Clarity name.

Thank you very much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Jim P

Great question. I leave mine in so that the purge can do a good cleaning on the cartridge during the process. You certainly do not have to but I always recommend to leave it in.

@@ahh-some Thanks for the quick reply!

@@khueil very welcome

I used the liquid ahhsome in my grandee- no foam, just a ring of yuck around the tub. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@khueil Great to hear. Don't worry so much about the foam. The goal is remove the biofilm from the plumbing of course. Lack of foaming is generally but not always due to the water in the tub being slightly on the hard water side.

You are very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video.

HI there and thank you for leaving the comment/questions. So lets talk about the filter cartridges first. There is absolutely no harm in running your hot tub with the cartridges removed. Generally, we don't want to do this on a normal basis simply because of what the filter is designed to do, filter water but also, we don't want big chunks of things (think leaves, twigs, ect) getting sucked into the system and potentially harming the pumps. That all said, Ahh-some is really strong stuff and if there is biofilm in your plumbing, it will release it all. If you leave your filters in, they will just get gunked up with biofilm and I have seen bad cases where you need to completely toss them and get new ones. So, for the duration of the purge it is completely ok to run without the filters in. If your tub is under a lot of trees and what not, just shut the cover while the tub is purging so you don't run the risk of anything going in the water. Now with regards to the jets and what I did there to cycle them quick. For that quick of a period of time, no harm will be done. If you let it run, Yes, harm will be done but I simply just cycle real quick. Push the button, and then almost instantly push the button again. Hope this all helps and please let me know if you have any other questions. Jim

Fantastic question. The answer is no. Use the recommended dosage based on the size of your tub and you will have no issues at all.

It is absolutley ok to run your tub without filters. The only reason we like to keep the filters in the tub is to ensure any large particulates such as leaves and what not do not go through the system. That said, the tub will actually run just fine without the filters for the duration of your purge. If you leave them in while purging, you will ruin them and will need to replace them as the amount of gunk that will accumulate in them will be not great for the filters. Some customers will actually shut the cover of their tub while purging, especially if the tub is located under trees just to prevent foreign objects from entering the water while purging. Great question and please let me know if you ever have any others. Jim P

It does NOT which is one of the reasons we did switch to the tube. So much better and no hardening of the gel.

Completely agree. Best thing you can do for a new hot tub!!!

Thank you very much for your kind words!!!

I believe we did already touch base via email but for everyone else. Yes, you can use the gel in a tub that isn't up to temp. You will want to simply dissolve the gel in some warm/hot water first.

@@ahh-some - we did and thank you very much. Dissolving it in a bowl of warm water worked perfect. Im so glad I came across this video as our brand new tub was nasty. Not anymore. Crystal clear and good to go. Thanks again!

@@hammerdown3876 Very welcome and thanks for taking the time to reach out and comment. I am here anytime you need anything.

Already done!!! Check out some of the new video's :)

Great question. You can do them both at the exact same time with no issues. Some will split them up but that is a personal choice.

Thank you very much and I agree 100%

Ahh-some!!!!! Thanks for the kind words. Please let me know if I can ever be of any assistance.

Very welcome sir.

Thank you very much. Its over on the side of the patio lol.

Here you go. ahhsome.com/refer-a-dealer/

No we cannot. Several years ago, Amazon decided to no longer allow any sellers to respond to a customer review.

Thank you so much for the kind words, they really mean a lot to all of us here at Ahh-some.

Hi there and thank you for posting and asking your question. Yes, you absolutely can just fill the tub up, and then purge. I would recommend waiting until the water gets above 80 degrees to start the purge though. Provided your waters pH is somewhat normal (meaning not super high or low) you will be just fine. If you happen to see that your water's pH is super high or low, simply add some pH down or up and get that to "normal". Normal is between 7.2 to 7.8. If you are a little above or below that, no worries at all. Ahh-some does not need anything else in the water to work. Hope this helps and please reach back out with any additional questions.

Thank you so very much for the very kind words and we are so happy that we saved your sanity :). Please do not ever hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions at all.

Thank you very much for your kind words and your continued support.

Now thats Ahh-some!!!!

You are very welcome sir. Thank you for your kind words. Please let us know anytime you need anything at all.

Yes I just use the pump because I have them (we live in the upper midwest and everyone needs a sump pump in the spring) so I just use that. You absolutely can use the gravity drain just fine. I do not recommend shop vac'ing the foam. The foam is your active ingredient that does your purge so you start pulling out the foam you are starting to lose active. Just let it run its course. You really should not have that much foam anyways. Use less Ahh-some than you even need to. You can always add to it if you need to add more. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.

Great question. Biofilm is a mix of bacteria, molds and fungus. Biofilm is present in almost every aspect of your life. It grows everywhere including the plumbing of your hot tub, swim spa, swimming pool, washing machine, dishwasher the plumbing in your home. It occurs naturally in nature as well. We often call it a biofilm matrix. Unfortunately, especially in hot tubs, once it is formed you cannot remove it without using a cleaner such as Ahh-some. It is a very sticky almost glue like substance. Thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

I would get either the K1005 or the K2005. Both are great. My opinion is the K1005 is easier to use and more suited for residential use. The K2005 is good if you have a Salt Water tub.

Hey there and thanks so much for your support. It means everything to us. If you ever have any other issues, don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you very much Jeff for the kind words. Very much appreciated. Have a fantastic rest of your day and let me know if you ever have any issues. Jim P

I would give it at last an hour to cycle through. Rinse the filters, make sure your sanitizer is at optimum levels then enjoy the tub. Jim P

You are very welcome. Thank you for the very kind words. Very much appreciated. Jim P

Fantastic. This procedure does work great. Jim P

Absolutely and this is very often the #1 sign that something is up. Better to purge, get everything cleaned out and then everything becomes significantly easier and not nearly as many chemicals needed. Great job!! Jim P

Great question. You can if you like however it is not needed. Aqua Clarity is designed to eliminate the overall need for additional items in your hot tub water. You can however if you would like as it will not cause any issues at all. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Jim P

No real significant difference. pH up is all you would need.

You are very welcome Richard. It was a pleasure speaking with you and discussing all things Ahh-some :). Please do not hesitate to reach out to me anytime you have a question.

You are very welcome and thanks for using Ahh-some. It is pretty incredible how much gunk comes out. Please let me know if you ever have any questions.

Hi Jason. My recommendation is to do your purge sooner rather than later. If you or your family is/was like mine, they couldn't wait to get in the tub when we first got it many years ago. Is it absolutely necessary to complete immediately? No, but it is better if you do. The tub is already dirty from the manufacturing process. I would say that most everyone generally either does it right away or within the first 4 to 6 weeks after having the tub in place. When we got our new tub 2 years ago (we had an older one that was just falling apart) I purged it right away and I was very happy I did so. It was quite dirty. If it was me, I would do it right away and just get the first purge done and over with and allow yourself to enjoy a good clean tub right from the beginning. Hope this helps.

@@ahh-someThanks for taking the time to write all this. I’ll take your advice and do it from the start.

@@jasond2900 Our pleasure. Let us know if you ever have any questions.

Good afternoon and let me first apologize for my extreme delay in responding to your questions. Aqua Clarity will help some with the tannins but it will not be 100% effective. You will see benefits, just not perfection. The Aqua Clarity however would be completely fine in your cedar tub overall. Hope this helps.

I can get one made. It is basically the same process. I will find someone with a front loader and get this done.

Great to hear and thanks for posting. I would use our brand new Filter Brite Filter cleaner. Works AMAZING!!!! Here is the link for it. ahhsome.com/product/ahh-some-hot-tub-filter-brite-filter-cleaner/

Hi and great question. It is more based on how many gallons are in the tub. A standard 6 person tub is generally around 450 gallons (give or take). I would start off with 3 teaspoons if you are using the gel. If you are using one of our single use pouches, use the entire pouch. If you are using one of our liquids, start off with 8 ounces and bump it up if need be. You can always add a bit more Ahh-some to the water if needed. Hope this helps.

HI there and thank you for the comment. My apologies for my delay in responding. To answer your question, Yes you can use the regular hot tub cleaner for a multi-day flush. One dose will allow you to run four 30 minute purges. If you do a full 4 purges, you will need to add more but I would only do so in 1/2 doses. I hope this makes some sense.

How did the purge go. Glad to hear that not a whole lot came out. The goal is of course to have a completely clean hot tub.

I came back to hear your update!

@@LeeRodrigue Which update are you looking for :)

@@ahh-someI wanted to hear the update from @rntwins1

Very good!!! That is the goal.

Good afternoon and great question. First thank you for your 5 years of Ahh-some use. With regards to your cold plunge tub, you absolutely can use Aqua Clarity on a weekly basis. Use 1 oz for every 200 gallons of water in your cold plunge tub.

Great question. Generally and as a rule, I only recommend using when you are going to drain your tub. Can you use it and NOT drain, Yes you can however there are some additional steps that MUST be taken to ensure safety. Ahh-some releases a lot of bacteria into the water. There are only isolated circumstances where I would recommend not draining. If you are only draining once per year, that is fine to do.

You can also apply his newer product in the Ahh-Some line, once a week as I do"Aqua Clarity"

If it says Tablespoon on the website that is an error. Can you possibly point me in the direction that you saw that error? You ONLY want to use 1 TEASPOON per 100 gallons.
