[@aimeemiller6716]

This is perfect! I needed a total step-by-step tutorial. Thank you!

[@waveaddict2271]

This video was done so well. Direct and to the point. Covered all the necessary steps without dragging on and on. Thanks for helping out this new hot tub owner!

[@Poolelementary]

Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching Wave Addict

Best video I have watch describing the spa flush process. Very thorough and easy to understand. TY

[@Poolelementary]

Thanks for watching!

[@Poolelementary]

Make sure you drain and clean your spa at least twice a year!

[@AndrewJLintz]

Turn off the Hot Tub Breaker before draining, and turn on after fully filled. You DO NOT want the hot tub auto run a pump while drained & empty . Great Tutorial especially appreciate a demonstration of purging the pipes by blowing with shopvac, and the pointing out the airbleeds.

[@mildredheslop7540]

This is very helpful we just moved into a house with a built in hot tub and we are learning about it. Thank you.

Great Video! I have the exact same hot tub! I really hate the control panel. Its really hard to use when it gets even a little wet. I bought a Wifi controller so that I can use my phone or even my Apple watch to control it!

[@ocean1233]

EXCELLENT ‼️

[@troygroff4512]

Great video! What brand and model of hot tub is that? It is very nice. Thanks!

Hi! This was a super helpful video! I have had my hot tub for about 10 years now and have never used Spa Purge 🥴 I have only drained, cleaned the filters & tub and then refilled. I have a question regarding blowing air through the filter section. I vaguely remember instructions from when the hot tub was installed and one of the instructions that I remember was to always leave water in the...idk pipes? lines?...I think it was the area underneath where the filters go (the part you blew out.) Is it a big deal to not mess with that part? Obviously I haven't done much but the bare minimum cleaning twice a year. Anyway, I appreciate the tutorial. :)

[@Poolelementary]

Hello Anya, yes you can skip blowing out the lines and just purge and drain the tub. The chances of getting an air lock on your pumps is far greater if you blow these lines out so if you don't want to deal with that head ache skip it. 10 years I would say it's time to purge clean your tub! Thanks for watching!

[@anyalanglais9343]

@@Poolelementary Thank you 😊 That’s what I ended up doing. Appreciate the feedback!

[@jv122798]

Hi, so you can add the purge and drain the same day? I thought I seen the bottle say leave it overnight which would be a huge inconvenience. Thanks for your videos!!

[@Poolelementary]

The longer you leave it in the tub up to 24 hours is best but you can get away with adding it in the morning and running the tub as much as you can in a 4 hour time and it does get the lines pretty clean

[@jv122798]

@@Poolelementary sounds good, thank you!

[@jv122798]

One more question please. So if I leave it in for 5-6 hours I have to keep the pumps running as well?

[@Poolelementary]

Run the pumps through atleast two 20 minute cycles.

[@jv122798]

@@Poolelementary will do, thanks again!

[@kenholloway3376]

What is the brand and model of the two person spa that you cleaned? It looked like a excellent spa! Excellent instructional video!

[@Poolelementary]

Hello Ken, thanks for watching and the spa in this video is a Dimension one spa and model is the Triad.

[@rshfn44]

couldn't you just as well use the shop vac to skim the foam

[@Poolelementary]

Sounds like it should do the trick to get the foam off the top. If you try it let us know how it works!

[@rxh2156]

What brand of tub?

[@susanmckay2205]

Why do we need to dry the filter before it goes back in the water?

[@Poolelementary]

Sorry if I was misleading. You can put the filter back in wet or dry doesn't matter.

[@stevemak38]

After i purge it i have to wait till the next day to drain the Hot Tub?

[@kachung459]

All hot tub-jet is circulate water but only one of the air jet no air comes out but has water come out. Please advise. By the way I just clean and refill the water. And i am new spar owner

[@Poolelementary]

Run the jets for awhile and you should get air eventually. If the jets turn off and on by twisting them you can work it back and forth to unplug the air intake. Thanks for watching!

[@francescagibson-tucker7764]

How about what to do when your filter basket wont unlock

[@ashlynnmcneal4774]

I clean luxury cabins and I'm having trouble with a hot tub that is on a well. No matter what I have done cleaning wise it is still sandy and grimmy feeling

[@DebBoha2011]

Check out the AhhSome line.

[@DavidPorter-u6z]

Does the water temp need to be at 95 degrees before adding the Spa Purge product?

[@Poolelementary]

I always purge my hot tubs when there at Temps above 90 degrees because warm water cleans better than cold water when it comes to getting oils and crud out of your lines.

[@Poolelementary]

Different purge cleaners do call for different measures though so follow the instructions on your cleaning product.

[@DavidPorter-u6z]

@@Poolelementary Sorry, I have one more question. My stand alone Jacuzzi, model J245, holds 360 gallons. Do you feel that the 1/2 bottle of Natural Chemistry Purge is enough? I've owned the tub for 5 years, have drained & cleaned every 4 months, but this is the first time I have purged the system.

[@Poolelementary]

Half a bottle is enough. You might want to have an anti foam product also because the scum and foam that's gonna happen since it's been 5 years might get a little crazy 🤪 . A squirt of the anti foam should keep it from flowing over the edges of the tub

[@DavidPorter-u6z]

@@Poolelementary You were right about the amount of foam. The anti foam tip kept things "manageable". I've completed two 20 minute cycles and have put the cover back on and turned the breaker off to the tub. Will wait 24 hours and then drain it. Many thanks again for all of your help.

[@stephumble]

Yes he kinda left out a bit….
