Iron causes brown or rust-coloured stains on the acrylic and turns the water yellow when shocked. Copper turns the water green or blue-green and stains pillows and fittings. Calcium scales the heater element, salt cell, and any heated surface.

Even with perfect water chemistry, that biofilm slowly leaks contaminants back into your fresh water and makes balancing harder than it should be. The dirtier the lines, the faster a fresh fill goes cloudy or develops an odour. Fresh Start dissolves the biofilm so it flushes out with the old water — leaving you a clean slate when you refill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to use it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use Fresh Start every time you drain the spa for a refill — typically every 3-4 months for a residential hot tub. It's especially important after a heavy-use stretch (lots of guests, a rental property, post-summer party season), if anyone has been ill, or if you're switching from one sanitizer system to another (e.g., chlorine to salt water). Many spa owners are shocked at what comes out of the lines the first time they purge — black flakes, dark grey foam, and a thoroughly unpleasant smell are all normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add the recommended dose of Fresh Start to your spa water before draining. Run all jets and pumps on high for 30-60 minutes with the cover off — this circulates the cleaner through every line.
