hot tubs 8 image

I know it is disgusting, but I ignored my hot tub for 8 months. I drained it tonight & there is a disgusting slimy scum over everything. I think I should clean the jets & drains really well, but don't know how to do it.
Answer
You don't want any scrubby chemicals, but you do want something that will cut through the slime and kill it. You can try a bleach-based cleaner, like Clorox CleanUp, but make sure you rinse it REALLY well. It has some sudsing detergent that will make your water/chemical levels hard to control.
I use some stuff recommended by my spa dealer. It is a red, pasty stuff that you squirt on, smear around with a sponge, then let sit. Come back and rub it again, then rinse. I think it is called "Off The Wall." http://www.spaexpo.us/pages/spa-guard-austin-tx
You can clean the inside as best you can, then refill and try "Swirl Away." http://spasandmore.com/catalog/chemicals-spa-hot-tub/swirl-away-pipe-cleaner-for-hot-tubs-jetted-bath-tubs-and-spas-606.html. You would then have to re-drain, then refill the tub again. And I would definitely give the final 'clean' water a good shocking.

Has anyone ever moved a hot tub?

We're trying to find a way to move a hot tub from one home to another...the hot tub is in Indiana and residence is in Ohio. The largest rental truck (U-Haul) is only 7 ft. wide and 6 1/2 ft. tall and the hot tub is 8 ft. in diameter. We don't have a hitch so we can't use a trailer. Are there companies who will move such a thing from one state to another?

A trucker friend advised this method of moving large items.
