When you turn on the jets and black flakes fly out of them and into your bath water, it’s time to consider cleaning the whirlpool jets.
Things You Will Need
-
Turn the whirlpool jets clockwise so that there is no air induction.
-
Fill the tub with hot water until it covers the jets by 2 inches.
-
Add 2 tsp. of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent and 5 cups of white vinegar.
-
Turn on the whirlpool and allow it to run for 15 minutes. Turn off the whirlpool and in 30 minutes, run it again for an additional 15 minutes.
-
Use an old toothbrush or small, long-handled brush to scrub the plastic parts of the jets with cleanser or household bleach.
-
Drain the tub and fill it again with clear water. Make sure the jets are covered by 2 inches of water.
-
Turn the jets counter-clockwise and allow the whirpool to run for 5 minutes. Drain the tub.
