You can use a homemade bathtub jet cleaner to deep clean the tub and keep the jets running properly. Explore this blog to learn how and when to clean your jetted tub. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Jetted Tub Noises Are Normal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">You can expect to hear some noise when you run the bathtub jets. Since jets run from an engine, you might hear the engine crank when the jets startup. Many jetted tubs, including the KOHLER<sub>\u00ae<\/sub> Walk-In Bath, complete an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/library\/pdf\/KWIB-Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">automatic water purge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> about thirty minutes after you turn off the bath. This purge takes approximately one minute. If you think any noise coming from your jets is abnormal, contact your installer or manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">How Often Should You Clean Your Tub?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">For the best results, clean your whirlpool jets at least twice a month. If you use your walk-in bath more than three times per week, we recommend cleaning the whirlpool jets more than twice a month. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">To keep your bath jets clean, avoid using any bath bombs, oils, and bubble baths in the tub. These products can cause build-up within the jets that cause them to release black flecks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">What Is The Best Jetted Tub Cleaner? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">You can make your own jet tub cleaner with household items! Combine the following ingredients:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Low-foam, powder dish detergent (2 tsp.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Household bleach (20 oz.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">How to Properly Clean Your Jetted Tub<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Follow these steps to clean your bathtub jets: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Adjust the Jets Clockwise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">First, rotate the jets clockwise to remove all air induction. This step helps reverse the jet function so they don\u2019t run while you clean them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Fill Your Tub with Warm Water<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Next, fill your bathtub with warm water until the water is at least two inches above the jets. To get the full cleaning effect, use warm water to work with the cleaning solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Add The Cleaning Solution<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Once the water passes the jets\u2019 height, add the cleaning solution to the water. Let the solution soak for a few minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Run Whirlpool<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Run the whirlpool jets like you would when you take a bath. This helps the cleaning solution circulate throughout the tub and clean out the jets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img-post-hydrotherapy-jets.jpg\" alt=\"adjustable whirlpool jets in walk in tub\" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img-post-hydrotherapy-jets.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img-post-hydrotherapy-jets-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Stop Whirlpool<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">We recommend running them for about five to ten minutes, depending on how thorough you want to clean.
