How do I maintain my jacuzzi/whirlpool tub?

Jacuzzi
Do I need to flush the system periodically? If so, how and how often?
This is a home bathtub that is only used about once a month, so nothing "industrial" is needed. I just remember reading something about needing to flush the system every so often and don’t know how to do that.

In a jetted tub you have no filter to clean. I would, however fill it and add about 2 cups of laundry bleach– then circulate a few minutes and drain. About once a month is often enough to do it. Just get out, leaving the water in, and add the bleach. Black algae tends to grow inside the jets as they don’t drain completely. The bleach will discourage this.

At least twice a year. Also, clean the filters at least a few times per year. Check your chemicals DAILY. This is really important. That is an expensive piece of furniture, take care of it.
