What are microbes?
Microbes are tiny organisms—too tiny to see without a microscope,
yet they are abundant on Earth. They live everywhere—in air, soil,
rock, and water. Some live happily in searing heat, while others thrive
in freezing cold. Some microbes need oxygen to live, but others do
not. These microscopic organisms are found in plants and animals as
well as in the human body. Some microbes cause disease in humans,
plants, and animals. Others are essential for a healthy life, and we
could not exist without them.

Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser contains live, safe, natural, oil consuming microbes. These naturally
occurring micro-organisms will eat the built up oils and contaminants inside your spa. Bacteria use the oils
and organics in the water as food. As the gunk builds up in the plumbing, the bacteria will attach itself to the
gunk and use it as a food source to grow and multiply. The microbes eat away at the gunk and loosen it, so it
can be flushed out of the spa. These microbes are safe to handle and will not harm the rubber gaskets in your
pumps. This cleanser works great on hot tubs and also will work on whirlpool spas and jetted tubs as well.
Since these microbes are naturally occurring and environmentally safe, draining your outdoor spa won't harm
the grass or plants. Draining your tub into your house plumbing has an added benefit. The microbes will
continue to work on build up in the plumbing as they pass through.

| Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser Application Directions For Hot Tubs 1. Remove the spa filter cartridge from the filter housing and store in a safe place during the cleaning process. It is recommended that the filter also be cleaned with the Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser or replaced if necessary. You can place the filter in the bottom of the spa during the cleaning process. 2. Use the existing spa water, if there is less than 5 ppm chlorine or bromine. If chlorine or bromine exists at 5 ppm or greater, drain spa and refill. Chlorine and bromine will kill the microbes and the cleanser will not work. Set the temperature of the spa below 75 degrees and cool down spa before adding the cleanser. Do not use with hot water. Temperatures over 75 degrees will kill the microbes. 3. Pour in the full bottle of the Penetrating Spa Cleanser. Circulate the spa water for 1 hour to mix the cleanser throughout the spa water. If you cannot turn off the heater or set the temperature below 75 degrees, turn off the spa after the initial circulation. You can circulate the water periodically to mix the water, but it is not necessary to the cleaning process. Close the air jets to reduce foaming during the cleaning process. The foam can be used to clean the surface above the water line. 4. After two days, run the pumps on high to flush the plumbing for 10 minutes. Drain the water, and refill the spa with fresh water. This is a good time to remove the jets and clean them. Run the pumps again on high setting. This will help flush the remaining contaminants out of the plumbing. Drain and refill the spa. Set your temperature setting to the desired temperature. 5. Clean both sides of the spa cover with Clorox Clean-Up or similar product and water. If the cover is cracked or torn, we recommend it be replaced. VERY IMPORTANT: If your spa cover has a zipper closure it is important to unzip the cover, BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER, because it is difficult to put back on. Flush the inside of the cover with your garden hose. The inside of spa covers have been known to harbor mold and bacteria, all of which drip from condensation through the cover back into the spa water. 6. We recommend using the Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser for cleaning the spa filters. Do not use chemical filter cleaners or any household cleaners that have chemicals in them. If the chemicals are not completely removed, the chemicals may react with the water and cause an odor or cloud the water in tub. 7. Do not use the spa during the contaminant cleaning process. For best water quality, we recommend using the Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser every 6 months to remove built up contaminants from the tub shell and plumbing. Depending upon use, you may be able to do this once a year with your water change. You will be amazed at the amount of gunk and contaminants visible in the water while the Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser is working. |
