2) Spray with a gentle, non-foaming cleaner and wipe clean. Never use
laundry detergent, abrasives, alcohols, dish soaps or harsh cleaners.
These can actually remove some of the topcoat and cause premature
vinyl failure.
3) For stubborn dirt, use a non-abrasive sponge.
4) Rinse again thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
5) Repeat monthly, or as needed.
Your vinyl cover is affected by the UV in sunlight. Periodic treatment
with a liquid protectant will extend the life of your spa. The wrong kind
of protectant can be more harmful than no protectant at all. Keep any
product away from your spa that is labeled “flammable,” that contains
any type of oil, or that leaves a waxy coating on your cover (do not use
armor-all on the cover).
Never stand or sit on the cover and never drag it over abrasive sur-
faces. Lift cover only by the handles provided.
NOTE: Your cover will hold up to 145 pounds. The covers are not in-
tended to be walked on, but a child or pet stepping on the cover won’t
break it.
CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER
Water from your tap is fine for showers, bathing and drinking. However,
in a contained recirculating system such as in a spa, water must be
treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to
keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specific balance of the water.
Proper balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the us-
ers or harm the spa’s components. Chemical treatment does have its
limitations. When water evaporates, chemical residues are left behind.
As the levels of the residues combine with other types of residue, such
as body oil and detergents, your water becomes increasingly difficult
to maintain. Because of this residual effect, at some point it becomes
easier and more cost-effective to drain, clean and refill your spa with
new water. We recommend that the water be changed at least every
six months. At this time you should also clean or replace your filters. If
your spa has a frequent and/or heavy bather load, it may be necessary
to drain and fill your spa more often.
WARNING: Spa damage due to improper chemicals is not
covered under warranty.
