Water jetted "Jacuzzi type" walk-in bathtubs are a breeding ground for bacterial growth! George brings attention to a tightly held secret within the walk-in bathtub industry.

Microbiologist Dr. Rita Moyes of Texas A&M University analyzed hundreds of water jetted tubs showing every water jetted tub (whether a walk-in bathtub or not) contained unacceptable amounts of contaminants. So, why is virtually every walk-in bathtub being sold with water jets or low-end air jets (which can be just as bad)? To our thinking, this can be only attributed to walk-in tub companies either being dishonest, ignorant, or simply in denial of the true risks to consumers in using "Jacuzzi type" water jetted tubs. Let's face it, lower quality, cheaper components on a walk-in tub and consumer ignorance leads to greater profits. Plus, it is very possible they don't know how to protect you anyway.

Bentley Baths Walk-in Therapy Tubs always puts the customer first, prioritizing quality, knowledge and effectiveness with medical grade equipment, many options, and solutions for every budget.

Bottom line - NEVER put water jets on your personal walk-in tub.

HERE ARE TWO OTHER ARTICLES EXPLAINING HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO KEEP A HOT TUB CLEAN, (a walk-in bathtub is much more difficult because the water does not remain in the tub).

Tom Davis' overview of maintaining a sanitary hot tub:
Got slime or flakes in the plumbing?
Fixing bio-film in a hot tub:

1. Raise hot tub temperature to 104 degrees
2. Move all diverters to middle position so all the plumbing has water flow
3. Open every single jet to ensure all plumbing gets flushed
4. Turn on water features such as waterfalls
5. Leave the cartridge filters in the tub!
6. Add 2 to 4 pods of electric dishwasher detergent (I use Costco Kirkland brand)
7. Run detergent solution through tub at least 24 hours
a. Turn on high-speed jets several times for at least 20 minutes to scrub bio-film from insides of plumbing
b. Drain and rinse to sanitary sewer
c. Remove, clean and rinse filter cartridge(s)
**Allow filter to dry completely or install clean/dry backup filter cartridge(s)**
7. Refill, balance and shock
a. Keep Chlorine at 3 – 5 ppm for first 24 hours
b. Turn on high speed jets several times during first 24 hours to flush/sanitize plumbing

PREVENT BIOFILM: Keep all the plumbing flushed with fresh water and sanitizer
1. Avoid completely closing jets (especially neck/shoulder jets above the waterline)
2. Avoid completely turning off water features such as waterfalls.
(You can turn them down but always leave a little water flow so the plumbing is always flushed with sanitizer)
3. Whenever adding chemistry or at least once a week:
a. Move diverter valves to the middle position
b. Open all jets, turn on all water features to flush all the plumbing
c. Run jets in high speed for at least 20 minutes after adding chemistry especially sanitizer

All this will not be possible on a walk-in tub, and who would ever want to go through all that anyway. To paraphrase Niki - "Just DON'T Do It!"
