Ah-some advice, cleaning hot tub and replacing water

[ksar8]

Recently found out about Ah-some and related piping cleaners for spas and want to do a thorough cleaning. Unfortunately I drained most of my hot tub and now re-filled it after finding out and purchasing the product.

So my question is, now that I have fresh water in the tub and plan to use the ah-some should I shock the water, add my bromine chemicals, balance the water, etc before adding the ah-some?

Thanks in advance

Not a must to add shock, bromine or balance chemicals prior to purging. Ideally, we do like some sanitizer in the water during the purge so bio-contaminants can be killed off but it is not necessary if it is a bother for you.
