How do I get rid of a funny smell in my Jacuzzi Tub?
Question:When I turn on the jets in my Jacuzzi Tub, there is a strong sulfur like gassy smell. It's so appalling that I can't enjoy my baths and even the scented bath crystals don't mask it! In the same bathroom, there is a shower right next to the tub and I get the same odor when I turn on the water in there. No other bathroom in the house has this smell. Any ideas how to give it a good cleaning and get rid of this awful smell?
Answers:
As far as your Jacuzzi, I would add boric acid tablets that are made for a hot tube. This will kill the bacteria that cause the smell in the first place. First change your water, put in fresh water and then use Boric Acid tablets. Also consult with your manufacturer to see what other chemicals may help you.
I cannot answer your question about the shower because in most cases, frankly in all cases it should be attached to a direct pipe for fresh water
If bleach is safe for the tub, it will kill anything
you could try drano there could be a mineral build up but it's not so bad to accutaully clog
you are probably running a well if your city water smells like this i would report it as for a well a water softner is really your only choise unless you dig a arteasian well very costly either way but try bleach first
