Clean Start®
The foundation for fresh, balanced spa water
Clean Start® is a one-time, high-performance spa preparation treatment designed to remove hidden contaminants and reset your water system and super clean your plumbing lines before changing your hot tub water. It prepares your spa so SilkBalance can perform at its best from day one.
What Clean Start Does
Over time, non-living organics, residues, and microscopic buildup accumulate inside plumbing, jets, and equipment — even when water looks clear. These contaminants interfere with water balance, increase sanitizer demand, and shorten water life.
Clean Start works by breaking down and flushing out this hidden residue from inside the system, allowing fresh water to start clean rather than immediately fighting what was left behind.
Why It Matters
Starting with a clean system means:
-
Faster water balance after fill
-
Improved sanitizer efficiency
-
More stable pH and alkalinity
-
Reduced chemical demand from the start
By removing what you can’t see, Clean Start helps prevent early water issues and unnecessary chemical corrections.
Protects Your Spa
Built-up residues place stress on pumps, heaters, and plumbing. Clean Start helps clear these pathways, supporting smoother operation and helping protect spa components from premature wear.
Simple, One-Time Use
Clean Start is used before draining and refilling your spa:
-
Add Clean Start to the existing water
-
Run the jets to circulate
-
Drain, rinse, and refill
Once refilled, begin your regular SilkBalance maintenance routine.
Why Clean Start
It is a system-prep treatment designed to give your spa a true fresh start — so your water stays cleaner, longer.
We Suggest that before using SilkBalance for the first time, you should purge the plumbing system underneath to clean away the organic deposits in your plumbing lines from previous use. This concentrated liquid formula is specially blended to work with water of all hardness levels and is designed to deep clean the spa pipes, jets and plumbing equipment.
CLEAN START PREPARES YOUR TUB for luxuriously simple spa experiences in just hours, not days.
With the jets on high, Clean Start will flush your hot tub in 30 minutes. You can drain and refill your spa and not have to worry about lingering, foaming residue. Since there is no need for overnight soaking or multiple flushes, this process prepares your tub for luxuriously simple spa experiences in hours, not days.
At the end of the process, your spa is left with a fresh, clean scent. In addition to purging old spa water before starting the SilkBalance conditioning system, we highly recommend using Clean Start to flush the plumbing once a year. (Just remember to remove all filters along with any other ancillary items such as salt water cells, mineral cartridges, in-line sanitizers, etc. before using Clean Start).
