Possible Causes

Inadequate sanitizer levels, Infrequent water changes, Dirty filter, Warm stagnant water in plumbing lines

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use the spa until surfaces are cleaned and water is sanitized.

  • Scrub surfaces: Use a soft spa-safe brush or cloth to scrub the walls and waterline of the NetSpa liner.
  • Shock treatment: Apply a strong shock dose of sanitizer according to spa volume.
  • Clean filter: Remove and thoroughly clean or replace the NetSpa filter cartridge.
  • Consider line cleaner: Before the next drain/refill, use a spa plumbing line cleaner to remove internal biofilm.

Severe biofilm issues often require draining, deep cleaning, and refilling the spa.
