    Ahh-some treatment

    Haha, I thought about that too. The thing is, you're only using suction for the time being, so it doesn't really matter. After the fact and before I blew the lines dry, I detached the vacuum hose and used the jet setting on the garden hose to rinse it clean. I also rinsed out the the container...

    Ahh-some treatment

    I was using the product according to the directions, using 1 teaspoon per 100 gallons and running the jets for 20-30 minutes before draining. In the end I almost went through an entire 6 oz container. Anyway, IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!! :D :D :D :D The tub threw up its white flag, but not before...

    Ahh-some treatment

    I've never tried swirl away, so I don't know how good it is, but I think everyone needs to do themselves a favor and at least try ahh-some. I will never go without it again after seeing the results with my own eyes. That being said, my battle is still ongoing, although I feel like it's nearing...

    Ahh-some treatment

    Is there any chance this stuff is reacting with the metals in tap water and forming this semi-solid goo? I'm just having a very hard time believing all this considering I've used jetclean and spa system flush and have never seen anything of the sort.

    Ahh-some treatment

    So for an update...wow O wow, I'm starting to get scared! This video is of my 2nd ahh-some flush. The filters were obviously in, which may have contributed to some of this gunk, but I flushed it again today and even more came out without the filters in there! Really crazy considering I've kept...

    Ahh-some treatment

    I believe ahh-some is a great product. Finally got my hands on some yesterday and loosened more crud than I've ever seen using jet clean. I'm planning on running it again tomorrow and I'll take a pic if worthy. Then I'm going to refill and super chlorinate, drain, and hopefully have a perfectly...

    How to clean the fountain feature piping of hotspring vanguard?

    I've got some kind of buildup in there from neglect when I wasn't around. I've been flushing with various agents (jet clean, spaflush...etc) and more recently using a shopvac to blow air down the main pipe which resulted in disgusting whitish slime shooting out of the fountain. I did this a few...

    Not sure what this is

    Looks like something I've been fighting for a while now, and it's a pain in the ***. I took over maintenance after a family member somewhat neglected it. IMO, one of 2 things happened; calcium deposits or biofilm. I've flushed the plumbing and super-chlorinated the tub countless times, but...

    Seaklear Spa System Flush - remove filters?

    Definitely remove them so that the foam can go straight down the pipes, but be careful if you have trees in the area. I removed the filters and then covered the tub with a plastic tarp to prevent pine cones/etc from dropping into the tub.

    Scale buildup in the plumbing

    Appreciate the tips and advice guys. I flushed the system with jet clean and then refilled and kept the PH in the 7-7.4 range for the past month. I've also been adding stain and scale preventer every week or so. It's looking tons better, still a small amount of flakes coming out of the...

    Scale buildup in the plumbing

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice on what steps to take next to rid my hot tub of white flakes and finally get clear water. Clear water seems like a pipe dream right now! I flushed the tub and superchlorinated(wasn't sure if it was mold at first) a few weeks ago and I believe that helped, but...
