Will this product clean around the plastic jet fixtures? The tub looks dirty because I can't get the buildup around them off.

I haven't noticed it cleaning the fixtures, but it does loosen the build-up in the pipes. After running the unit with the cleaner, there is a good amount of fine debris in the water.

I have to agree with TonyD except I put mine closer to the inside of center, guess it's really up to you and the shape of the tub. Silicone caulk works the best but can be bit messy/greasy to clean up, the key I found is to not to try and wash it off but instead get an old towel and wipe the excess off your hands and fingers after you beaded the seams or use latex gloves which are cheap and handy to have around anyways. Other than that it was an easy install and they work like a charm now.

I have not tried to clean mine yet. The residue is glue from the tablets. The problem is that glue residue usually requires a petro product to remove it. It cannot be cleaned still hooked to the pool, it will have to be flushed real good.

I experienced this problem initially but only after the kids used hot chocolate. I found that running a clear cup through the Vue after making hot chocolate, cappucino, etc. clears any residue and keeps the nozzles clean. I occasionally clean the nozzles with a paper clip as others have advised.

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

I'm not sure if the old stuff I removed from our tubs was silicone, something else, or a mixture since the last time it was caulked someone else did it. As I said in a previous comment to another inquiry, it did seem to work on whatever it was, although in some areas I had to treat it twice. I averaged using one and one-half to two bottles per our standard sized tubs. Hope this helps -- good luck!

I cleaned my hot tub cover first but this took off more dirt. I love this product for the hot tub. I'll try it on my boat this summer.

We just use regular cleaners like Lysol... But it's not perfectly white. I read that there is a special cleaner called R.O.G. It costs allot more but is said to make the tub like new. I may try that. No matter what we still love tub grip, it IS a great product!

Oxy-spa is more of a germ killer than a cleaner. If you're talking about cleaning the pipes of a jetted bathtub try using Dishwasher powder (not dish liquid). I usually use about a quarter cup for my jetted tub and it works really well. Run the pump for 10 to 15 minutes.

Mine are on stuck on fairly permanently, but that's because I cleaned the surface area really well and made sure it was absolutely dry before application. Not sure how they're going to come off, but I imagine I'll have to take a razor blade or putty knife to scrape them off when the time comes. Plus, they've stayed fairly clean since I've had them. Barely noticed in tub.

I have never cleaned one of these. I just installed them. your method sounds like a good one though

I use this product regularly to clean my Jacuzzi and it works great! It does clean buildup but don't expect a miracle--you will still have to clean around the jets. And it is a chemical treatment--so yes it takes care of bacteria. Another nice feature is that you can just put it into the tub water after you're done with it without having to use fresh. Make sure the water is well above the jets, and you'll want to rinse thoroughly after all done.

Are you asking about a jetted bath tub or a hot tub? For a jetted bath tub I would use the Ahh-some. It may take a couple of cleanings to get everything out of the pipes. This product is amazing.

I do not know if my method may work for you as house mold or aquarium algae may be different from household to household BUT here is what I do and the tubing of my set has remained free of both. First of all the tubing of my set is clear not black and I can see if such problems creep-up. If they were to appear I would throw them out and buy a replacement at a hardware store for much less. I keep my tubing free of mold or algae growth by flushing it for a 2-3 minutes with hot water out of the faucet, as hot as it comes out. Then I reverse the flow with both hot and cold water on for max suction and pick up the house from the suction spout to a level higher than the sink valve to ease the drainage. Keeping the house higher than the sink and valve I move along the tubing all the way to the other end connected to the sink. This drains most of the water. An extra benefit is that the hot water has softened the tubing and makes it easier to coil it back into the inside wall of a 5 gallon bucket I use to store it. I hope this helps.

Since you can't use cleaners I make sure I clean every other day with paper towels and the provided brush for the silver disk. Once you have a build up I do use a soft brush on the white plastic parts,, but NOT on the silver disk. They sell an additive for hard water build up, which may be your problem. I hope this helps.

Yes, I have had good luck cleaning the build up - takes some elbow grease - but I keep the cleaning tube around.
