WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
It is not recommended that you drain your spa completely during freez-
ing conditions. We recommend that you leave your spa full of water with
the power on to keep the tub from freezing. If you decide to drain your
spa during freezing conditions, contact your dealer for help. Contact
your Artesian dealer before refilling a drained spa in freezing tempera-
ture.
WARNING: Damage to your spa caused by freezing is NOT covered
under warranty. Please contact your local Artesian dealer to assist you
in winterizing your spa.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA
SPA CABINET CARE
Your spa comes standard with a PermaWood, or faux wood, cabinet.
This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the cabi-
net with mild soap and water from time to time.
1) Gently wash the cabinet with mild soap and water and allow to dry
completely.
NOTE: Do not apply any solid type finish such as shellac or var-
nish. After weathering, these types of finishes will crack and/or
turn yellow. To refinish the wood, you will need to completely strip
the finish before applying the new one. Use only the stain recom-
mended by your Artesian dealer for refinishing your spa.
CLEANING YOUR SPA INTERIOR
It is important to clean the interior of your spa every time it is drained to
help preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface. However, it is important
that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals. Your Ar-
tesian Spas authorized dealer will be able to supply. you with the proper
cleaning solution for your spa. After cleaning, make sure all residues
are removed prior to filling the spa. This will help prevent sudsing and
improper chemical balance.
