  • Wipe any splashes of cleaner solutions from plastic or plated surfaces immediately.

Flushing Your Whirlpool

  • Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more, depending upon usage.
  • Adjust the jets fully clockwise so there is no air induction.
  • Fill the bath with warm water to a level 2" above the highest jets, or leave water in the bath after using.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of a low-foaming, powder automatic dishwashing detergent and 20 ounces of household bleach (5% to 6% sodium hypochlorite) to the water.
  • Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then shut off the whirlpool and drain the water.
  • Rinse baths surfaces with water.
  • Flush your whirlpool system again with water only if desired.
