I’ve never heard of running hydrogen peroxide in the tub but lots of people use chlorine bleach. Chlorine is what is used in hot tubs and spas to keep the water clean.

I had a whirlpool tub in my last house. I take lots of baths and started getting bladder infections. It was because of the moldy water in the lines. I started pouring bleach into the tub after I got out and ran it through the lines with the whirlpool on (my doctor’s suggestion). It seems to have help as I stopped getting infections. I purposely did not get a whirlpool tub when we recently remodeled our bathroom for this reason.
