If a bank owned property has been sitting for several months and the house has a whirlpool bath, you should be concerned about the health issues that are associated with them.
Some water remains in the piping and the pump, even though these systems are generally described as self-draining. When this water combines with dirt, soap scum, hair, body secretions, skin and bath oils, for example, we can get some pretty interesting bacteria growth.
Some manufacturers of whirlpools recommend cleaning every three months. The cleaning may consist of using dishwasher detergent (or special low suds cleansing agents) in the tub and activating the whirlpool function. Others recommend the use of vinegar, bleach or baking soda. Still others say this should be done after every use and supplemented by annual professional cleaning.
Don’t throw them out just yet until you have had time to evaluate and assess the potential problems. Best of luck for an awesome 2012
