I recently bought a house in coastal North Carolina that just happened to have an outdoor hot tub. According to the Model/Serial Number Plate it is a Jacuzzi J315 built in 2011. It was in “winterized” condition when I received it. After cleaning out the roaches, debris and small amount of dirty water in the footwells, I cleaned the cover and fiberglass. My son helped me fill it, put “shock” quantities of bleach in it. It appears to be functioning normally. From what I read in the J315 Jacuzzi manual on line (which appears to refer more to models built after 2012), I am letting it run over night and will empty it in the morning. I will then refill it, and start my first venture in hot tub chemistry.

Welcome to TFP.
I suggest you use Ahhsome to purge the biofilms from your new old tub.

Thank you. Done. Hot tub drained and then refilled with bleach and stabiluzer. Now working on getting the chemistry just right. .
No, you need the Ahh-some treatment before you proceed any further.

Ahhsome purge to remove biofilms (chlorine alone cannot do this)

We recommend a purge & water exchange every 3-6 months or so as part of regular maintenance. a small tub of ahhsome will last for multiple purges.
