Boy, Did I mess up this tub! Woke up this AM to a gray cloudy viscous tub. I can use the shop vac to suck that stuff out, but what about the pumps and lines? How do I get the water out of there? Will the shop vac work on them too? :-/I ran water INTO each jet trying to back flush it and through the filter fittings and this seemed to do some good.It would be a shame to do all this work only to contaminate the new water with residual stuff in the lines.Jacuzzi requires all jets to be covered before operating the pumps so it would have to be filled with 500 gallons before turning the pumps on. That would dilute the pumps and lines but waste a lot of water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Viscous? That's a pretty nasty way to describe spa water. Cloudy? yup. Viscous? eeew. I used the Mr Clean erasers to remove any scum that forms along the water line. Does' your shell look and/or feel dirty?
When you add 500 gallons of fresh clean water, any nasties left in the line will be so diluted they will easily be killed with your initial shock.I also use windex and a product just like the Mr Clean Eraser with good results. It is also a good time to 303 your cover...since you are in cleaning mode....LOL....
...the shop vac claims to have 170 mph blowing speed (don't say it) so I used it to blow the lines and pumps out through the filter fittings. Works like a charm. Lines are dry and my glasses and T-shirt are soaked!
T-Lady, the floating blanket is out on the deck. I want to wash it off tomorrow before putting it back on. I will send you a pic if you like. S-bird
