How to Clean Dust & Dirt From an Air Jetted Hot Tub

Keeping the jets free of dust, dirt and other buildup should be part of your regular hot tub maintenance schedule. Clean jets will last longer and perform better, in addition to being more sanitary for the people using the hot tub. A simple clean water cycle run periodically when the tub stands unused for extended periods of time will keep dust out of the jets, but heavier cleaning is required to remove caked-on dirt and grime left by regular use and the use of oil-based additives or bubble baths.
