We used the fix-a leak and I wiped it down with vinegar water and let it cure, now there is a gritty film on the inside of the tub. what can I do ?

You would have to contact the manufacturer. But I would take that old stuff off and start again. I used it on my pool filter. I don't use vinegar on my pool. Did you try sanding it?

i have no idea why you usesd the vinegar and water, i do not recall the directions saying anything like this. i just dumped the bottle in neat the intake valve and it worked, if it does not go away may have to drain and refill

You have to wipe all the gritty out being careful around the jets and seals.

You could try putting it in a bowl of un cooked rice it should draw the moisture out. Sounds like you need to get the seal replaced mate.

Have you tried cleaning it with vinegar? Mine stopped working and I cleaned the inside with vinegar and it started working again.

Try filling the tub just above jets with water (after rinseing out the yuk) add a full half gall bleach (take care) rin the jets for 5 min then let it stand for at least 6 hours. Oh yuk followed by the bleach soak worked for me finally

I haven't noticed that. I have had mine for over a year. You might try running vinegar through it then lots of water.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

Just dump out the grit. Try steel wool or a wire brush, maybe a Dremel with a wire brush (wear goggles & at least a dust mask!), if you think it's worth your time. Otherwise just get a new one.

Take the rubber seal out and wash it also . Once open. I hope I was of some help to u. I had the same problem.

Pour some Bar Keepers Friend inside and let it sit for about 10 minutes then scrub it with some dish soap and rinse. The same thing happened to me and this is how i fixed the problem.

I would try spaying some grease first. If that doesn't last long yes replace.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

More than likely there was more hardener in the mix. Do another coat and right after pouring us a heat gun or hair dryer to move it around and remove bubbles and any unevenness.

I had same problem but used 3-in-1 oil and gauze pads to remedy it. It's all ball bearings after all. Plus, there was filth and muck all over the place

I usually soaked my feet in a warm bath the next morning to let it soften then just gave it a good rub with my fingers. You may want to try petroleum or baby oil instead of something so harsh. I found that some packages have stickier tape than others which I didn't like.

you should have soaked it with water overnight and try cleaning it the next day. Try soaking it again.

We haven't had this problem yet, but soaking it in the hot soapy water, as previously suggested should work. It is also helpful to pump some hot, clear water through the tube to make sure it's clear.

It might be clogged. Try putting pure white vinegar in the well and let it run through the steam cycle.
