 Plumbing WHIRLPOOL TUBS Pay particular attention to the manufacturer's maintenance procedures for cleaning the whirlpool tub's circulation system. Failure to do so can result in the growth and transmission of infectious bacteria. Bath water residue contains soap scum, dirt, bath oils, body secretions, and skin cells. With each use of the whirlpool tub these organic materials mix with mineral deposits in the water to form scale deposits. The warm humid environment that the whirlpool’s plumbing provides is the ideal place for microorganisms to grow. They can cause many different ailments (ie. kidney, bladder, skin, vaginal, eye and respiratory infections, just to name a few). Household cleaners are ineffective for cleaning the scale or mineral deposits as well as bacteria out of the system. Flush your whirlpool after every use with a cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer. Caution whirlpool tubs can be dangerous: Do not leave young children unattended a whirlpool tub. Never operate the pump without the suction guard in place. If you are taking medication, or pregnant check with your doctor before using a whirlpool tub. Do not use a whirlpool tub when under the influence of alcohol. Persons with communicable diseases should not use a tub that may be used by someone else. Avoid or limit the use of oil based bath products. NOTE: The use of household bleach is not recommended for flushing out or sanitizing hot tubs. Read the instruction manual or contact a spa supplier for the correct sanitizing product. | Welcome to BIS | About BIS | Home Inspections | Get Started | Technical FAQ | Contact us |
