Okay guys, this is the plan:
1) Full system drain
2) Full system flush (to remove prev. chems)
3) 1.5 hrs. 75% water 25% Pine Sol (antibacterial goodness)
4) Full system flush (remove the Pine Sol)
5) Live bacteria culture goodness (thanks Bikr) for a couple days
6) Add 10% sanitizer, run for a couple more days
At this point the stuff should all be dead and eaten. If it isn't, I have a bigger problem than originally thought.
7) Drain 25%, add 25% Pine Sol, run for 1.5 hrs (pick up as much into suspension as possible)
8) Full system flush
9) 80% distilled, 10% Hyperlube, 10% sanitizer (to keep stuff from growing again)
10) Profit! Oh, this isn't Slashdot ....
I'm going to start tonight ... I picked up the chems at Wal Mart and the hot tub dealer an hour ago. I'll let you know how things go and try to remember to take pictures. Doing it this way prevents me from having to disassemble the system completely, and during one of the drains I'll replace that length of worn tubing. I'm going to flood my downstairs neighbors out.
