Many people considering purchasing a jetted tub have concerns about how sanitary they are and if it can be cleaned properly. The short answer is when maintained properly, they are very sanitary and simple to clean thoroughly.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that jetted tubs should always be filled with clean, clear water or water-soluble products only, and bathing products such as salts or oils should be avoided, as they can cause buildup in the lines and corrosion in the pump.
For tubs with jetted or whirlpool systems, monthly cleaning of the lines will help keep your tub clean, sanitary, and functioning properly. To make the process simple, we offer Jetta Clean– a specialized system cleaner. Over time, residue from bathing products, natural body oils, and other environmental contaminants can build up and could eventually lead to problems within the system. Jetta Clean is a bio-film remover that breaks down contaminants and residue and leaves your tub and its plumbing system clean, sanitary, and functioning at its best. You can purchase Jetta Clean through your local distributor or directly through Jetta by emailing sales@jettacorp.com.
For household cleaners, you can use liquid low-foaming dishwashing detergent (such as Cascade) and a small amount of bleach. First, rubberband one layer of gauze of the suction trim, then fill the tub 2 inches above the jets with hot water. Pour in your cleaning solution(s) and run the jets for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, drain the tub and take off the gauze. Finally, fill the tub again 2 inches above the jets with cold water and run for 5-10 minutes to clean out any leftover cleaning solution.
