Most hot tub owners only clean the filter.
Body oils, lotions and organic debris don't stop at the filter. Buildup also forms inside the hot tub's plumbing and jet lines, and along the shell and waterline โ so a clean filter goes straight back into a dirty system.
1. Plumbing & jets
Added to the spa water with the jets running, it circulates through the pipes, pumps and internal plumbing, helping remove the buildup inside.
2. The spa shell
While it circulates, it also washes the walls and waterline, helping lift body oils, lotions and debris from the surface.
3. Cartridge filters
Soak or spray the filter to deep clean the pleats and restore water flow โ for spa and pool cartridge filters.

Filters, pipes, or a shock
Filter soak (deep cleaning)
Mix 2 oz with 2.5 gallons of warm water. Submerge the filter for at least 30 minutes โ up to 8 hours or overnight for heavy buildup. Pressure rinse before reinstalling.
Filter spray (quick cleaning)
Mix 2 oz with 24 oz of water. Rinse off loose debris, spray into the pleats, wait 5 minutes, then pressure rinse.
Pipe cleaning
With the spa full, jets running and filters out, add 4 oz per 400 gallons. Run the jets 30 minutes, then drain, rinse and refill.
Shock treatment
For pipes that have never been cleaned: 8 oz per 400 gallons. Jets 20 minutes, soak 60, jets another 20, then drain, rinse and refill.
Before you buy
Does it work on pool filters?
Yes. Pool cartridge filters of the same type clean with the same soak or spray method.
Soak or spray?
The soak is the recommended deep clean, especially for heavy buildup. The spray is a quick clean between soaks.
My spa isn't 400 gallons.
Scale the dose to the water: 4 oz per 400 gallons for a pipe cleaning, 8 oz per 400 gallons for a shock.
When do I need a shock treatment?
For pipes that have never been cleaned. After that, a regular pipe cleaning every 2โ3 months helps prevent biofilm buildup.
What's in it?
Water and a proprietary organic mixture of enzymes, microbes and surfactant, with X-WET technology and a citrus-ginger fragrance.
Clean filters. Clean pipes. Clean spa.

Hot tub purge: flushing the plumbing before a drain and refill
Most hot tub care stops at the filter and the water. The plumbing behind the jets never gets scrubbed, and that is where body oils, lotions and organic film collect. A purge cleans the part you cannot reach: add the cleaner with the jets running, let it circulate, then drain, rinse and refill.
| Job | Dose (400 gal hot tub) | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing purge | 4 oz | Jets 30 min, then drain |
| First-time deep purge (the label calls this the shock treatment) | 8 oz | Jets 20 min, soak 60, jets 20 |
| Filter soak | 2 oz in 2.5 gal warm water | 30 min, up to 8 hr |
| Filter spray | 2 oz in 24 oz water | 5 min, then rinse |
What comes out, and what to expect
Expect the water to look dirty at the end of a purge: that is the buildup leaving the pipes rather than sitting in them. Wipe the shell and waterline before the water dries on it, then rinse well.
Some foaming is normal once the jets break the film loose. If it climbs, turn the jets down for a few minutes. Rinse filters thoroughly with a pressure nozzle before they go back in.
Works with any sanitizer system
Bio-Pure Pool & Spa Filter & Pipe Cleaner is a cleaner, not a sanitizer or water balancer. It works alongside chlorine, bromine, salt, ozone and mineral systems: purge and refill, then balance the fresh water the way you normally would. A clean plumbing system means your sanitizer is not fighting the buildup in the pipes.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I purge my hot tub plumbing?
Every 2โ3 months, which lines up with a normal drain and refill. Filters get cleaned more often: every 4โ8 weeks depending on use.
Is it safe with chlorine, bromine or a salt system?
Yes. It is a cleaner, not a sanitizer or water balancer, so it works alongside whatever sanitizer system the tub runs on. Purge before a drain and refill, then balance the fresh water as usual.
Is foaming normal?
Some foaming is normal once the jets break the buildup loose. If it climbs, turn the jets down or off for a few minutes, then carry on.
What is that gunk coming out of the jets?
Body oils, lotions, and the organic film that builds up inside hot tub plumbing where you cannot see or scrub. That is the point of a purge: it comes out with the water instead of staying in the pipes.
Does it work on jetted bathtubs and swim spas?
Yes. The same dose per 400 gallons works in jetted tubs, whirlpool baths and swim spas, and the soak or spray method cleans pool cartridge filters too.
How many cleanings do I get?
8 oz is 2 filter cleanings plus 1 plumbing cleaning, or one first-time purge. 32 oz is 8 filter cleanings plus 4 plumbing cleanings, or 4 first-time purges, about a year for a 400-gallon hot tub.
