Breakaway® flush has been specifically formulated to ensure that the unwanted build up of organic contamination is flushed away from the heart of your system, which helps it to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. Use with both PoolMoss® and SpaMoss® water treatment systems for maximum results.
Step 1 Flush Spa with Breakaway® Flush
Preparing spa for cleaning
- Remove filters on a new or established spa and put skimmer basket/filter cover back on
- Take out all inline screens and pillows and clean separately with 1/4 cup of Breakaway® flush. Turn off ozonator and turn diverter valve to middle setting (if applicable)
- Fill a NEW spa with water and heat to operating temperature OR use the water already in an established spa at operating temperature
Cleaning and flushing
- Do not use the spa during cleaning
- Add the content of one bottle of flush
- Start jets with air closed and cycle several times to allow for exposure of the internal piping to flush
- Foaming could occur. If it does excessively, turn off jets immediately and foaming will subside
- Allow flush water to sit for 1-2 hours, run jets as able
- Drain the spa after one final run of the jets
- Immediately wash down the residue on surfaces of spa with hose and a cloth or soft brush. Do not allow the residue to dry!
- If flushing residue is difficult to remove, use Breakaway®flush on a cloth to remove
- Direct hose into each jet to rinse out flush water from internal piping
- For best results (to avoid potential foaming), use a wet/dry vac to remove excess water in jets and on bottom of spa
- Drain rinse water and remove any remaining residue on the surfaces
Step 2 Fill
Restarting cleaned spa
- Reinstall cleaned or new filters (with established spas converting to SpaMoss® system, new filters are recommended)
- Attach StartNaturally® filter to garden hose and run water outside of spa for 1-2 minutes until water runs clear
- Fill spa with water using StartNaturally® filter
- When finished, store StartNaturally® filter in a bag in a refrigerator; use every time adding water to spa; good for one year
- Add an EPA registered spa chlorine to 3-5ppm for first 3 days
- Allow the water to reheat to desired temperature and adjust pH and alkalinity
Step 3 Fresh
Add SpaMoss® pack(s)
For spas under 450 gallons, use 1 SpaMoss® pack and for spas over 450 gal, use 2 SpaMoss® packs each month
- Remove SpaMoss® pack from the plastic packaging
- Insert the SpaMoss® pack in the filter bay or skimmer basket
- CAUTION: When placing SpaMoss®pack, take care not to place it in an area where it can be sucked into the pump. When in doubt, contact your authorized SpaMoss® dealer
