Need to clean/renovate a old hot tub
Hi!
This is my story..
My father made a lovely bathroom for 20 years ago, but we havent used it much.
It had a hot tub with 900 l, and the system use at max 7000 watts. The last time I think we used it was some moths before my father moved out, and thats 10 years ago. He forgot to remove the water from the pipes. I want to use this lovely hot tub, but I am scared how to clean it. I dont want diseases. The pump that pumps the water looks like running, but i think I have to clean the filter.
Thanks mates....

If you're just concerned about the water that was sitting stagnant in the tub for ten years, it should have evaporated a long, long time ago. I've never delt with this myself, but I would think filling it up, throwing in a healthy dose of bromine and allowing the tub to circulate water for awhile should flush things out. Drain it if you're concerned with what was sitting in the pipes and refill.
Clean or replace the filter.
