best products for hot tubs image

Our hot tub is drained and there is rough, calcium scale on the surface. We would like to remove it to make the surface smooth again. Someone recommended distilled water. That is not working! Any suggestions? Thank you!
Answer
Lime-A-Way is made exactly for that purpose:

You could also use dilute hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, but you should take care not to let it come in contact with any metal fittings or the plumbing. Use gloves, a spray bottle, and/or a sponge.

Water bed heater to supplement inflatable hot tub inflatable spa heat?
cobinrox
Just got one of those inflatable spa / inflatable hot tubs. It works pretty well, I was surprised, but the water temperature is a little week. Anyone think a waterbed heater might help it reach optimal temperature? The spa walls are made of a vinyl product.
Answer
Unfortunately you just found out why they are cheaper. The heaters are 115v and can only make the temp go up around 1.5 degrees an hour. The nice thing is that they are cheap to operate with the coil heater around the pump. The sad part is that they are expensive to fix and there isn't any way to suppliment the heat. I have played around with some of our soft tub customers for years. I don't think much of the product. Wish i could help you. Be careful and do not let any type of immersion heater if you go that route neary the walls or you can melt them.
