bath 3
Also, I've found regarding whirlpool baths:

a: the pipes that the water is pumped through act as a large and very efficient heat exchange. The bath goes cold.

b: The result of no one using it is that the pipes don't get flushed out. Soap scum, dead skin and other detritus accrues in the pipes. And then, after several months of neglect, you find yourself home alone one Tuesday afternoon and decide to have a long soak with the whirlpool. Getting in the bath, not considering what might be in the pipes, you switch on the pump and the bathwater goes a light brown colour, smells offensive and has things floating in it.

I couldn't have got out of that bath quicker if someone had thrown a toaster in. I filled the bath with fresh water, added a full bottle of disinfectant and let it run for half an hour. Drained it, refilled the bath and ran it again. Repeated until clean.

I did this
When I bought my house it had a whirlpool bath. The guy I bought it from told me that I needed to flush it with special cleaner.

After about 6 months of living there and only having showers I decided to have a bath. I was in the bath nice & relaxed and I pushed the button...the water turned black.

I'm glad i'm not the only one.

Someone told my mam to put it on with dishwasher powder in the bath for half an hour
The end result was absoloutely disgusting!

The water was brown with god knows what floating about in it. You couldnt even see the bottom.

We got a new bath.

japanese tubs
they rock! the only downside is you have to sit with your legs bent, but you have water up to your neck once you get in, I've recently been experimenting with my "organic jacuzzi", works well after mexican food and beer.

This happened to me just last night!
We moved in 4 weeks ago so it was someone else's muck. Unclean unclean!
