Do whirlpool baths require special water treatments?

Yes, whirlpool baths benefit from regular cleaning and maintenance treatments to ensure hygienic operation:

Essential Treatments

·        System Cleaner: Use a specialized whirlpool cleaner monthly to remove soap residue and bacteria from pipes

Regular Maintenance

·        Run the system with clean water after each bath

·        Flush system with proprietary cleaner every 4-6 weeks

·        Clean visible jets with a soft brush regularly

·        Wipe down surfaces after use to prevent soap scum build-up

What to Avoid

·        Bubble bath products not specifically designed for whirlpool systems

·        Bath oils that may clog the pipework

·        Abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface

·        Bath salts unless specifically marked as safe for whirlpool systems

Best Practice
