My new (used) hot tub arrived yesterday!!! It is now sitting in the driveway with its cabinet panels off (to help with moving) awaiting the second move to the pad I'm vigorously working on.
1. The tub was drained by the previous owner about a week ago. It's about 4 years old. It's in very good shape, but I want to wipe down the inside with a good cleaner and hit some of the jet recesses witha toothbrush and a good cleaner (some residual brown scum). What should I use?
2. I just read in the other thread (the person with the floaties) that you should take the filters out of a drained and sitting tub because nasties can grow quickly. That makes sense and I'll do so today. I'm going to start with fresh filters anyway, but I'll take these out to give the bacteria less opportunity.
What else should I be doing while it sits? It may be a week or two...
Also, when I fill it, should I do a major flush and drain it right away? I want to start off right. It's my first tub! And I'm so excited!!
