What is White Mould?
White mould is a Fungai which looks like a white mucus, tissue paper or toilet paper and is resistant to Chlorine or Bromine.
How did it get there?
It can be caused by soaps, lotions and other substances transferred into the hot tub by the bather, it then quickly spreads across the Hot Tub into the filters and pipes. If you find you have this in your Hot Tub you are going to need to solve this as quickly as possible, so grab your rubber gloves!
