Question

We dont use jacuzzi often and when we do black c**p comes from jets? Makes filling. it twice, what a waste?

Answer 1

If you only use it every once in a while you're going to have that problem most every time.  If you'll get it cleaned good with one of the cleaners made for jacuzzis and then every time you take a bath go ahead and run it a couple minutes to flush it out good you shouldn't have the problem nearly as much.  Unless you run it fairly often, it doesn't take long at all for the black gunk to built right back up again.  Running it a little on a regular basis will be the easiest solution.

Answer 2

Occasionally you need to run a cleaner through the jets...  You should be able to find it at a store that sells jacuzzi's and hot tubs...

Answer 3

That's black mold. Wonderfull stuff. DON"T EAT IT!

Your going to have to get that c**p out of the system. Go to a place that sells jacuzzis and they will sell you the proper cleaner.

Answer 4

Your book that came with the jacuzzi should tell you what you need to do for maintenance.  Cleaners have to be run through the system periodically.  Jacuzzi tubs should never have anything other than water in them, but people think they can use oils or bubbles in them and they cannot.  If you do, you need to run a cleaning system through it or hire someone to clean it out routinely.

Answer 5

fill it up and pour 1/2 cup liquid laundry detergent and 1/2 cup of bleach in - then run for 15 minutes.   Drain - and refill with COLD water and run jet for 10 minutes.   Try it... if not clear of black gunk - repeat!

Answer 6

the black stuff is probably mold. there should be products to deal with that and not hurt the jets.
