MISCELLANEOUS CARE
Cleaning & Protecting the Headrests:
Clean on a
regular basis with soap, water and a clean cloth. Use
Armorall® Protectant or its equivalent once per month.
This will maintain water resistance and luster of the
product.
Vacuuming the Spa:
Debris from wind, trees, and spa
users will occasionally accumulate on the bottom of
your spa. Your spa's filtration system will remove the
smaller debris. Debris that is too large or too heavy
for the filtration system will have to be removed by
the use of a spa vacuum. If you do not have a spa
vacuum, please contact your authorized Bullfrog
Portable Spa Dealer.
Cleaning the Scum Line:
With normal use of your spa,
oils, lotions and hairsprays will build up on the
surface of the water, sometimes leaving a scum line
around the perimeter of your spa shell. This scum line
can easily be removed with a spa SURFACE CLEANER
or its equivalent. See your authorized Bullfrog Portable
Spa Dealer for this product.
Note:
Avoid using cleaning agents that will leave suds
in your spa water.
LOW-USE OR NO-USE PERIODS
At certain times of the year you may not use your spa
as often as expected. For these low-use or no-use
periods, we recommend the following:
Low-Use:
If your spa is being used less than once per
month, then you may wish to lower the temperature
setting by approximately 5-10°F or put the spa in the
"Economy Mode". Lowering the temperature on your
spa will cut your cost of operation if you are not using
the spa for extended periods, however, you will need
to adjust the temperature setting approximately 15
minutes before each use to heat the spa to the
desired level.
No Use for 1-2 Weeks:
If you plan to not use your spa
for one-two weeks, then we suggest that you not
make any changes in operating your spa. Substantially
reducing the water temperature (in well insulated
spas) for short periods of time has proven to increase
heating costs.
No Use for 2-6 Weeks:
If you plan to not use your spa
for two-six weeks, then you may wish to lower the
temperature setting to approximately 80°F during the
No-Use period.
No Use for Over 6 Weeks:
If you plan to not use your
spa for over six weeks, then it is suggested that you
winterize your spa by taking the following steps:
SPA WINTERIZATION:
1. Drain the water from the spa (see "Steps to Drain
Your Spa" under "Changing Your Spa Water" in this
Owner's Manual).
