How to clean a hot tub the right way

- In this video, I'm going to another customer maintenance job, but this time it's to clean their hot tub. To start, the first step is to empty the pool using a submersible pump. There is no better solution to draining a pool than a submersible pump.
While the tub is draining, it's critical to scrub the entire surface of the pool, I used PoolPartsToGo (www.poolparstogo.com) 360-Degree Pool Brush. I used the 12" one for this since the hot tub has a lot of nooks and crannies to get into that a normal brush can't get to, poolpartstogo.com/collections... .
The submersible pump gets almost everything out, there were some little leaves and a tiny bit of remaining water, I used the vacuum to hoover it all up.
Once the hot tub was 100% empty, I filled up a bucket of fresh water and put some cleaning solution in it and scrubbed the whole pool. After that, I rinse the pool, give it another scrub with the 360-Brush, using the versatile 12" again. If it were a large pool, would probably use the 18". (another quick submersible pump session).
We clean the filter by hosing it down until it's totally clean.
Then we fill the pool up and turn the pool systems back on to make sure the water is circulating correctly. PH was a little bit high on the hot tub so I put in pH- to regulate it. - บันเทิง
I normally don’t comment on videos, but I felt like I needed to show you the respect you deserve. You’re a genuine good guy and these are quality videos
nothing to learn in this video... really
You can’t tell he’s a good man just by these videos but I get why you’d make the assumption.
What cleaning solution do you use?
I swear these videos are the best lol! So incredibly sorry to hear some jerk stole your equipment! Don’t worry, you’re gunna be a big hit soon enough that you could buy hundreds of them.
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words! 🤙🏻

What is the cleaning solution please?
That’s a dope hot tub
i dont even have a pool anymore since the ocean i can just jump into from the backyard but i find myself saying wtf do i watch this man clean pools for lmao
Too bad the owners really don't take care of it lol
Seriously
You're a DOPE for using that word...
Pool lights and filters always freak me out but watching you fix pools feels good keep up the good work
Frigging great idea! Use the pool water. So much faster and balanced for the most part already. Next drain and clean I'm doing this! Great job, bro!
I owned a hot tub and pool and that definitely was the best way to re-fill a hot tub by using the "balanced" pool water. If I were those homeowner, that tarp over the hot tub would be GONE. There is nothing like sitting in a hot tub and looking up at the stars. :)
Love your videos mate, literally saves my boredom from time to time during lockdown! 👍
Thank you mate. I just found your video how to clean and fill hot tub. I just bought an old home with a hot tub and never owned one. So, I try to search a video how to maintain it. Your video helps me a lot. Now I'm ready to clean and fill water in my hot tub. My teenage daughter bugs me to do it because she wants to use it. It is 49 deg F or 9.44 deg C outside in Washington, DC now. You sounds like Australian guy.
Great video.....as an Irish woman who bought a house in Canada which came with a Canadian Hot Tub / Spa......so thank you for showing me how to do this. Here they are charging 'Covid quotes' to call out to the house and do the clean-up. So THANK YOU!!!
Thank for the video man, I just got certified for pools and spa, they don't teach you these things that we'll. Extremely helpful sir!!
Those people are really meticulous with their water chemistry. LOL
I am also a hot tub technician.
It looks like the vacation rental spa that I serviced today.
Nice video!
What a great job you did on this hot tub. It will be a tremendous help to us.
this won't help.. the tub was already pretty clean.. you're not going to get the calcium and scum buildup with this little effort
Very satisfying to watch this video even though I don't own a hot tub or a pool keep up the great work.
He said "Hoover up"! I love it!
😂
Holla at your boi 4 tha pool werk!
This is the right way to clean a hot tub but an important step missed.
You didn't clean the internal pipes or pumps? That's where all the gross stuff is, you have to pull the filters add a pipe and pump cleaner then run the tub for hours if you can 24 hours to get all the build up out of the plumbing system.
Apply a few drops of Dawn dish soap to the water before you drain the spa. I then wash the spa with white vinegar and Dawn. Run pump for about 20 minutes, drain and rinse thoroughly.
I’m 75 years old now, so I hire the people who bought my pool and spa cleaning business (I trained them) when I sold the business we had over 850 weekly clients and most were with us for 30 years.
I’m a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning, love the videos as so relaxing to watch, cracking work as usual
I don't know why but love hearing your voice watching all your videos
Good job, quite satisfying just watching your videos!
Love your vids so much I always check up on your TikTok to see how u are going keep it up ❤️
Awesome clean out!!! You do such a great job at cleaning these kinds of things!!!! The hot tub looks really nice now that it is clean!
Thanks man!
Just watched one of your tik toks and wanted to watch a hot tub cleaning and I can’t believe you have a channel
I use the Wet/Dry Vac to suck the water out of each jet and take each jet out to clean them by hand. My thought is, If you are going to take the time to replace the water, might as well get all the water out. Can never be too clean for this guy.
Really nice! Now that I know how to clean it.. I just need to buy a hot tub.
Great work I would have loved to have got in after cleaning the hot tub they are very expensive hot tubs 🙂
You are so good with your craft.
Why didnt you flush the pipes out with a cleaner to remove the biofilm lurking in all the pipes??
Also do you sanatise the filter not just rinse with hose water??
I’m pretty sure that filter is just to remove objects from the water not actually chemically treat the water so removing the objects stuck inside of it is sufficient, idk about the pipes though
Hes not a perfectionist cleaner like some. Yeah I get you. I would want to clean everything and on camera.
I bought a spare filter so I just swap out the dirty one for the clean one from storage. I use a deep soak cleaner after I take out the dirty one and let it dry thoroughly.
wish i found this vid before I drained our spa! have had it for 3 months and drained it for the first time - was such a pain draining with the built in pump - I guess next time I will do a much better job cleaning haha
This is one of my favorite videos
Hey man thanks for this video !
I have a beachcomber hybrid I use it a lot for kidney pain relief - but I am always struggling with chemicals as it throws of all the Ph Levels ! I daydream of a pool boy I tell ya.
Got to wear gloves my man. Hot tubs are soo disgusting. You know what people do in them
What do they do?
@@abduct1097 pee and maybe other stuff
@@abduct1097 fuck
Do? Huh? 😂
Dude, you confirmed my insecurities of not knowing how to properly clean a jacuzzi. First time owner, you showed things that confirmed what I was doing was right and you also showed me some nice tips to make my life easier and know that my kiddos can swim in a clean spa. It’d be nice if you could comment on the chemicals and how much chlorine and shock to use. I never know if I’m using too much or too little. Or also when is the right time to replace the filter versus just hosing it down. Great job though mate! I Hope to see more
Holler at your boy for the pool work😏
I love your videos
They are really cool I love them
So much
love your videos man,love from indonesia 🤙🏿
great details ! thanks for sharing
Hi, thanks for your contribution. I have a smaller hot spa which I'm not using very often. I do switch it off for the winter by emptying it and cleaning it. However, when I switch it back on lots of (presumably) cal build up from the pipes...it looks disgusting and looks like bits of grated cheese. That only happens when I switch the pumps on after I refilled it with fresh water. As a result I need to start all over again. Such a waste of water. How do I avoid it ? As it seems I can never get the pipes fully clean when I switch it off for a period of time
04:30 that's me every morning....
i personally dont use soap because of the suds. i suggest using a strong vinegar spray in a gardening bottle. a pond ready sump pump also works to help empty. non-phosphate poweder dish soap is good for soaking and spraying down filters in a five gal bucket, i just let them sit overnight to loosen debris thanks for the video very helpful.
Great Video! Do you not do a biofilm ‘flush’ prior to dumping the water though? And hoover each jet? I was always advised to do this every 3 months or so? Any advice would be great 👍
absolutely right - pipes will be full of gunk leading to high free chlorine demand and possibly things getting out of control quickly
Love watching ya videos my guy! Can I ask what tester you use to check the cholorine/ph? And what filter cleaner do you use?
Have you done any salt water tubs with one of those electrolysis chlorine generators? Was looking into it but they seem to be popular in the USA and not so much the UK :/ Expensive as hell. Keep up the epic work!
am i the only one who can’t hear the dog at all lol
good job 👍
Can we pleeeeaaaaasssseere get another pool chemicals asmr
hey bro, had a question. ive heard from several ppl that when doing a cleaning its good to use car wax on the top one foot strip all around the waterline to protect against hard water stains. whats your opinion if you dont mind? thanks
thanks for the video. I would like to know how often the water in a hot tub should be changed by airbnb. Every time a customer leaves, do I have to change the water and clean the hot tub?
What are the big round filter things at the bottom? Two of our have suction. The other two do not. How do u clean those? Thanks
great vid, thanks mate. Just out of interest, what water quality tester do you use, seen it in a couple of your videos?
Hi , can you please help. we have a similar hot tub and we are trying to find out how to store it safely as we are not planning to use it for 6-8 months. Its winter and temperature is dropping to -7 degrees C, and will be dropping even lower. We have water in it at the moment and the water temp setting is 15 degrees, so we are wasting electricity if we are not using it. Some people suggest to always have water in the tub, but if the water freezes it may damage the unit. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Many thanks
I always purge with Ahhsome cleaner before draining. Gets rid of all the biofilm. Makes the sanitizer last longer.
i JUST TOLD MY MOM THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO WHEN I GROW UP
I have a question, why did you not run a cleaner in the water to assist cleaning the internal pipework etc before emptying? Cheers for the great videos BTW.
Ya I wonder of there is a reason or he just doesn't actually know the "right way"! lol
Also I soak my filter in filter solution. Didn't notice him doing that either. I also wonder if he knows all the water in the internal plumbing is all old water.
Came here to say this
Well it looks nice. 🤷🏾♀️
You're suppose to fill the hot tub back up via the filter housing, no in the t middle of the tub floor, you can cause an air lock like that
the tub should have a start-up priming mode to clear air entrapped air in the heating circuit piping
Hi there what cleaning solution did you use to clean the inside?
What products do you use for this, I was using gold coast but can't find them anymore
Dogs in the background is always recommended 😁
ive been told that when you fill it up after cleaning you should turn all pumps on to get the dirt out from it. Then empty the pool again and fill it up for a last time?
Did you not have to use hot tub line flush on this, or was it just too dirty?
Anyone know if well to do folks pay people to do this and if so how much?
Vinegar is great non foaming cleanser for hot tubs
I have been hiring tub for some years. fed up with customers abusing equipment. Also had my van pinched. so looking to now service and repair portables. also looking to clean and service statics. can I ask how much you charge for this cleaning service? many thanks
If you want all the sludge and biofilm out of your pipes, use white distilled vinegar and let it run on its normal cycle for a few weeks. You will be amazed at what comes out.
Thinking about starting a spa cleaning business how easy or hard is it to start up ???
Whats the cost to have a clean like this
What cleansing solution do you use?
How often do you clean? We’ve only had ours a week
Sorry to hear your GoPro was stolen :(
I like the tik tok clips you post but prefer these longer ones for tips. Them brushes seem a good idea, dont think we can get them in the UK...what cleaning fluid did you use and also. Do you use any deep cleaning chemicals for pipes ?
Do you ever use any of those solutions that supposedly flush out the jets
I want to to hire a hot tub in order to see if it suits my garden and lifestyle etc. Any recommendations on a good hire company or hot tub model?
Why didn't you use the stuff that cleans out the pipes before draining? I bet that thing is nasty.
I was wondering that too?? I raise and blow out all the jets as I'm emptying it to get all the dirty water out..
Why am I here? I don't even have a hot tub!
Fancy cleaning my hot tub mine is the blue little plastic lay z spa one
I'm trying to get a company started. How much do you charge for a dump and fill. And how much for weekly or monthly rates?
What type of cleaner did you use
Hello, i ordered a passion spa. Only now i discovered a lot of people reviewed it bad.. :( do you know if passion spas are good?
Ciao hai poi comprato la passion spa?come ti trovi?
Nice tools
I just curious, don't you have to soak the filter overnight?
Thanks
Hes an idiot he should of used flush before he drained it to clear out the plumbing
the way to help keep your hut tub clean is to make sure that the bathers do not use and spray on or roll on products on their bodies.
Nice
Does anyone know where I can find this hot tub it’s so noce
P00lguy: now im in shoes and socks obviously
Me: u can SEE u are just with bare feet
What cleaner? Simple green?
if you get the bromine level (or choline) correct the green-cloudy state will disappear in a few days
What cleaning solution?
I like your poor videos 💛
nice
Bit daft, balancing the 240v wet vac on the side, you could get electricuted, get a longer hoover pipe
I Love vídeo.
Don't you fill via filter housing to avoid air locks
Whats this job cost the client? Great job!
Firstly I would be using a hot tub flush to clean all the bacteria beneath the system remove bio film and in clean internal pipe work, secondly I would be soaking the filter in filter cleaner in our estelle machine, I would be also using some waterline cleaner and also shocking the tub too 🤷♀️ you can also take out the jets on many tubs and clean them not quite sure why any of this wasn't done ?
Maybe it was a maint clean and not a deep clean. It will depend what the customer wants to pay for.
You forgot to flush out the pipes with a degreaser to clean the whole system before emptying the water bro!
And in Aus we always have to increase the Alkalinity and ph from the tap water, as for the chlorine there shouldn’t be a reading from the tap water, the chlorine levels should dissipate in the hours after adding the chlorine which should be done daily to kill any bacteria and for ph/alkalinity should be tested and adjusted weekly.
My man didn't even clean the internal pipes, that's the most important part🤣
What does "holla ya boy for the pool work" means?
Holla ya boy for the pool work
That filter Canister lid needs a new oring that black is from it breaking down and I wouldn’t recommend using anything other then vinegar or actual hot tub cleaner
How was ur GoPro stolen??,I'm really curious and don't even think I did it,I live in india 😭
It’s was in my van and someone smashed the window and took it
@@thepoolguyml oh yaaay,u replied.Wow that is so sad,all ur videos and effort just gone, appreciate the work that u do, seeing ur videos have now made me want to get a pool made.
You didn't do a flush?
