Can anyone recommend a procedure to clean out the air/water jet system in a whirlpool tub?
We haven't used the tub for a few months (due to recent surgery). Yesterday there were several small bugs in the tub. I thought they may have entered via drain due to a dry trap but yesterday I ran water into the tub and closed the drain. Today I found that there were about a dozen live bugs in the tub. They are small, about the size of fleas but they don't jump like fleas.
I suspect they are coming from the jet intakes.
What is the recommended procedure to purge and clean the jet system? I believe I remember reading someplace about using dishwasher detergent or vinegar.
