Swirl Away
« on: February 28, 2008, 08:52:17 pm »
I am running the tub with swirl away in it right now.  After I drain it, do I fill it up and drain it again, then fill for good?  Is there any secret to making sure I get all the stuff out?

I'd just go by the directions and just in case it doesn't say, make sure your air controls are closed while the pumps are on high speed. You shouldn't have to refill twice after the application my dear.

I couldn't tell from the directions if I was suppose to drain and refill again or not.

I know what you mean, Brooke.
When the bottle says "Lather, Rinse and Repeat", I can never get out of the bathroom.

maybe its just the OCD.....   :) :)

And don't run your neck jets on high if they are above the waterline. I think I had a pile of foam that was 6 foot high.

There is no need to fill and drain again.  That would make the process way too burdensom to be worthwhile.  You can rinse the sides down while it is draining or when it is drained.  Then just close the drain valve and fill.

Running the jets with the air venturis open with Swirl Away can be hazardous  ;).

I don't think it's necessary to fully fill and drain.  If I recall, all I did was to rinse down the insides really well, including the filter compartment,  and what didn't go down the drain, I sucked out with a shop vac.  At most I used an extra 20 gallons of water.  
 Even with my air valves shut, no filters, etc...  It was pretty amazing how high the foam went.  Wish I'd taken a photo.

Well, I drained anyway...I didn't want to risk any foamage.  It needed a good cleaning.  I was actually surprised I didn't get more foam.  I swear I was getting that much foam when I tubbed lately, lol.  Maybe the foam and the swirl away counter balanced each other, lol.  Anyway, I'm full again and at 63*.  Too bad it won't be warm before I leave for boy scout camp today.   :'(

What ever in the world do you mean, Bill?  

How could Brooke's comment be in any way made the subject of a joke?
