DOES YOUR JETTED TUB HARBOR BILLIONS OF BACTERIA PARTICLES?
The answer is maybe. Until just recently jetted tub manufacturers stored dirty water in the pump while the Jacuzzi was not in use. This was not very good for the consumer because dirty bathwater would often stagnate in the pump for months, creating a perfect breeding ground for mold bacteria and fungi. Most modern jetted tubs, aka air-jetted tubs, are plumbed in such a way that the pump and hoses drain completely along with the tub.
COULD YOU CATCH LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE IN YOUR OWN JETTED TUB?
The answer is maybe. You don’t need to go to the American Legion convention in Philadelphia to catch Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia and it affects 10,000-17,000 Americans each year. Legionella bacteria are found naturally in water. Legionella bacteria love warm water and can be found in hot tubs, hot water tanks, plumbing systems & even industrial size air-conditioning systems.
Bacterial biofilms look like black or brown slime and consist of bouquet of bacteria. If you haven’t used your Jacuzzi in a while you may have noticed these biofilms come out of the jets when you turn it on.
