Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser
This new spa cleanser uses microbes to clean the gunk and contaminants out of the
plumbing and off the surface of your hot tub. ABM Solutions Inc. has teamed up with
Integra Environmental LTD. to create a spa cleanser that is not only safe and effective,
but has no match in the pool and spa industry. This proven technology meets the
standards required to be listed on the EPA's NCP product schedule. These products
are safe to be used in aquatic situations for cleaning up oils and other contaminants.
ABM Solutions and Intergra Environmental share a common goal to produce excellent
bio-based non-toxic cleaners, and provide genuine, long term solutions to pressing
health, safety, and environmental problems.
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 hot tub cleanser works
great on hot tubs and also will work on whirlpool spas and jetted tubs as well. Are your filters plugged? This hot tub
cleanser can be used to remove the organic gunk that plug the filter wafers.
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.

The JetOne Plumbing Cleanser
This Pacific Sands product utilizes a proprietary blend of alkaline cleaning agents and
non-foaming surfactants to penetrate deep into the spa plumbing and equipment to scrub
away biofilm and organic, mineral, and chemical contaminants. JetOne even helps remove
the gunk that plug the jets and keep them from rotating.
Clean your spa between water changes with a 1 hour quick clean. For a more thorough
cleaning, circulate in the spa overnight or for a full 24 hours. Use a 1/2 bottle for a quick
clean or the full bottle as needed.
