Ensure the drain is closed and all plugs or hoses are secure. Use a garden hose to fill the tub to 2/3–3/4 full, or until the water inlet is submerged if using a chiller. Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow.

The tub has a gravity drain. Open the cap or floor valve to release the water. You can also attach a garden hose to direct the water to a suitable drainage area. Be sure to fully drain the tub before cleaning or storing.

Without a chiller, we recommend changing the water every 3–5 days, depending on use and cleanliness. If the water appears cloudy or unbalanced, replace it sooner.

Clean the interior with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which may damage the inflatable surface. Gently clean the inlet and outlet ports to prevent buildup.

Yes. For home use, the manufacturer recommends using bromine tablets in a floater. For commercial use, apply 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide daily and test each morning to maintain levels between 50–100 ppm. Always test and balance pH (ideal range: 7.2–7.6) and follow all safety guidelines for chemical use.

Rinse off before using the plunge, cover it when not in use, and remove surface debris daily. Regular testing and light chemical use can help extend the time between water changes.
