24.3.11Debby+Can you use bath bombs in a jetted tub?

Jacuzzi jets are easy to maintain but can also be severely damaged if not properly cleaned and maintained.

Bath bombs ruin tubs by clogging the drainage or even staining the surface. However, easy-dissolving bath bombs are more user-friendly.

Many factors can cause your Jacuzzi to stop working properly:

• Bath bombs are created with specific ingredients which cause a fizz when you release them in your hot tub. Prevent bath bomb disasters by choosing bombs with bath salts as their base rather than Epsom salts. Some hot tubs are compatible with Epsom salts, while others aren't.

• Problems arise when the additives in the bomb can't dissolve, and this, in turn, prevents it from draining effectively. For example, confetti, glitter, and flower petals.

• Oil builds up in the water jets with time and causes them to malfunction or break down. Don't use bombs with essential oils that clog the jets even though their scents may be scintillating.
