How to Use Epsom Salt in a Jet Tub

Epsom salt can ease muscle pain, reduce inflammation and flush toxins from your system. When combined with the therapeutic properties of a jet tub, Epsom salt are the perfect remedy for a sore or stressed body. Although it's safe to use Epsom salt in your jet tub, you'll need to take precautions to ensure that residue from the salt doesn't harden inside your whirlpool jet system.

Close the drain on your jet tub and turn on the water as warm as you can comfortably soak in, adding in 2 cups of Epsom salt (4 cups if jet tub over-sized) under the running water.

Tips

Every 10th time you use your jet tub, use plain water so that any Epsom salt residue in the jet system is flushed out.

If your tub is over-sized, use 4 cups of Epsom salt instead of 2.

Warnings

Always use a plastic pitcher to rinse your tub so that it won't break if you drop it in the tub.
