Can I use vinegar to clean hot tub filters?

• <div><p>Vinegar can be used as an all-purpose cleaner for many things, including hot tub filters. Soaking hot tub filters in vinegar and water for up to 24 hours can remove dirt and oil, and as a bonus, it won’t cause the water to foam after you reinstall it if there’s vinegar left on it. But make sure you still rinse it to remove any debris, dirt, or grime stuck on it.</p></div>

How can I make sure my hot tub is installed and used safely?

• <div><p>Follow these <a href="https://www.esfi.org/pool-and-spa-safety/">general safety tips for spas and hot tubs</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Keep your exterior electrical receptacles covered and dry, especially around your hot tub and pool during periods of use.</p></li><li><p>Make sure you have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) properly installed to ensure no one gets accidentally shocked or injured by electrocution. </p></li><li><p>Don’t use the hot tub or your pool during a thunderstorm. </p></li><li><p>Before using the hot tub, have a certified electrician thoroughly inspect your hot tub and its wiring to make sure you’re in full compliance with all applicable local building codes. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>
