STAINLESS STEEL CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS ABOVE THE WATER LINE
To preserve the stainless steel finish of the controls and components above the water line, we
recommend they be wiped with a dry soft cloth after each use of your hot tub.
TUBLICIOUS COVER CARE
A well cared for hot tub cover can provide many years of protection for your hot tub. Be sure
to clean and condition your cover at least once a month—more often if needed. Cover strap
installation instructions should come with the manufacturer’s warranty package. These are
also referenced on page 19-20.
Your cover needs to be cleaned and conditioned because vinyl can dry and become brittle,
spoiling your spa’s appearance. Dry, brittle vinyl can also tear at the seams and stress points.
Quality materials, internal sewn reinforcements and careful workmanship can only go so far
against the ravages of Mother Nature. Luckily, proper care is easy.
VERY IMPORTANT:
We recommend a vinyl conditioner. Your TubLicious Dealer carries a wide
variety of care and maintenance products. Choose a pleasant day each month to remove your
cover from the hot tub and lie it on a flat surface accessible by garden hose. Douse the cover
with a healthy amount of water from the hose or a bucket to rinse away loose dirt or debris.
Using a soft bristle brush and a mild solution of dishwashing liquid (about one teaspoon of de-
tergent to two gallons of water), and with a gentle circular motion, scrub the cover to clean.
Be careful not to let any areas of the cover dry before they’re thoroughly rinsed. Now apply
the vinyl conditioner as directed on the container. Massage the conditioner into the cover in a
gentle but firm manner. Before replacing the cover on your hot tub, wipe and rinse any dirt
from the bottom of the cover. When you are ready, put the cover on the hot tub.
NOTE: To remove tree sap, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter, but the fluid used in cigarette
lighters) Use Sparingly, them immediately apply conditioner to that area.
