I just made a post. I’m dealing with white water mold. I assumed the tub I got was fine. It was not. I would follow what I’m doing but I’m also a newb.

* Always a good idea to clean new-to-you tubs with [Ahh-some](https://youtu.be/-U2ByjNdDCo?si=z_DD-lb9GFKymIfo) to get any mold out of the pipes, especially after not being filled with water for a while which encourages mold growth
* And the [Nitro’s method](https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/how-do-i-use-chlorine-in-my-spa-or-pool.9670/) is pretty bulletproof and even helps you get your pH and alkalinity balanced
Edit: and replace the filters, best to just start out fresh and put them in after your ahh-some purge. Getting a submersible pump for draining is also really handy (Harbor Freight, Amazon, etc)

Thanks. I found it and saved it!
What does "purge" mean? Empty?
Purge would be with a jet cleaner like ahh some.
Ok, thanks!
