Deep Clean the Plunge (Evolve Pro and Standard Series) – Plunge Support

These instructions are for the Plunge (Gen 2) models only.

There are two parts to these instructions for a complete deep clean of the Plunge. Please follow both sets of instructions.

Perform a Deep Clean once a year for regular maintenance of your residential Plunge.

Items Needed:
Household Degreaser (Ex. Simple Green, 409, Zep, etc.)
Sponge or Rag
Solvent (Ex. Oh Yuck)
Sanitizer (Ex. Simply Sanitizer, Replenish, ect.)
New Filter

Clean Out the Jets (Part 1)
Turn off the Plunge by pausing the unit and then unplugging the chiller from the outlet.
Drain the tub following the draining instructions for your model
Wipe the tub down with a household degreaser
Rinse the tub out thoroughly (Not rinsing thoroughly can cause foaming)
Fill the tub to two inches above the highest drain or jet.
Heat the water to 104 degrees or add hot water until it is above 95 degrees. (Do not exceed 104 degrees or an OR code may trigger)
If your filter is less than a week old and there’s no visible dirt or debris you can use that filter.
- If your filter is over a week old or has a lot of visible dirt and debris, please change the filter before continuing.
Using the "Oh Yuck", pour half the bottle into the water. It is VERY important to have hot water for the product to work as designed.
Turn the Plunge back on.
- If your unit has a ball valve on the connections, ensure it is in the open position before turning the unit back on.
Set the temperature to 100 degrees (or highest possible temperature) to make sure the tub does not try and chill during this process.
Run the tub OVERNIGHT
The next day, pause the tub and then turn the unit off.
Drain and thoroughly rinse out the tub.

Sanitize the Tub (Part 2)
Fill the tub to two inches above the highest drain or jet.
Turn the Plunge on and make sure jets are running.
Set the temperature to 100 degrees to make sure the tub does not try and chill during this process.
Using the amount of sanitizer (Simply Sanitizer OR Replenish) that’s in the start up of the water maintenance protocol you are following, add it to the water. Important note: DO NOT use Replenish and Simply Sanitizer together in the same tub, this will cause a water chemistry issue
Run the Plunge for 20 minutes.
Once the tub has been running for 20 minutes, keep it running and begin filling it up all the way.
You can now follow the rest of the water maintenance protocol sans the sanitizer (Simply Sanitizer OR Replenish) that has already been added.

Once every step has been completed please follow the change filter instructions for your model to complete your Deep Clean.
