We bought a property with an existing indoor spa bath a couple years ago.
Upon our first use we noticed there was some scum/brown bubbles appearing in the corner when the jets were running….this lead me down the rabbit-hole of learning about pipe degreasers, biofilm etc.
As the spa bath is indoor it does not stay filled and has a 2 pipe connection to a pump to recirculate water for the jets:
Edgetec Triflo pump
We have tried several solutions on the market here;
SpaGiene Cleaner
Poppits Cleaner
And other generic options like Napisan etc.
Try as we have when we initially moved in doing purges, daily applications, leaving filled for 24 hours, paid spa professionals etc.
We’ve never been able to get rid of the issue. Also puzzled that we seemingly get the same/similar gunk result each time we apply a degreaser and can’t figure out where it could even be coming from when it’s only a 2 pipe indoor system.
We don’t use the bath due to the issue, and had given up trying to solve.
I found this forum and decided to reach out here in hopes of finally finding a solution.
Initial gunk/brown line that builds when running jets:
Add degrease treatment:
Degrease treatment after 5-10mins:
