Keeping your bathtub spa clean is quite easy. Most homeowner complaints are usually related to black algae looking stuff floating in the water. This is normal, as soap and body oils will cling to the inner walls of the PVC piping of the tub over a long period of time.
The best way to clean the tub is to fill it with very warm water, add 1/2 cup of household bleach for a standard size tub, (a full cup for a large tub). Run the jets for about 15 minutes, drain the tub, and then rinse it well. Some residual black residue may still be present in the plumbing, and most of it will go away if you refill the tub, run the jets a minute or so, and then drain it again.
Warning: Be sure that children are kept away from the tub when it has the bleach in it, and it is recommended that you remain in close proximity to the tub to ensure that they are not allowed to play in the water. Excessive amounts of chlorine fumes may be present when the jets are running, and can cause burning of the eyes, and respiratory problems. In any case, be sure to read and follow the warning label on the bleach container.
