Cleaning the Lines

There are many plumbing lines in a spa. No matter how clean you keep the water, chemicals only clean the water, not the plumbing lines. Bacteria and mildew-attracting scum can accumulate in the vast number of spa plumbing lines and fittings. You need to flush and clean them in order to prolong the life of your spa and keep it running smoothly.

We strongly recommend flushing and cleaning the lines every six months to one year, or whenever you notice a skim film developing around the spa fittings. You should do this procedure right before you drain your spa. Be sure to use a cleaning product that is recommended by your manufacturer, and one that will dissolve body oils, dirt, hair, soap, scum, rust, and mineral deposits.
