Bullfrog Spas Owner’s Manual
For normal cleaning, use Ivory® Liquid dishwashing detergent or its equivalent. For stubborn stains, use Spic &
Span® in powder form or its equivalent. To apply these cleaners, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Rinse well and
dry with a clean cloth.
General Cleaning:
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.
To remove grease, oil, paint and ink stains, use 25%isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in water.
For hard water stains consult your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer for acceptable cleaning agents.
To remove light scratches and/or to protect your spa’s shell, see your Bullfrog Dealer for an acceptable spa wax.
Note 1:
Never allow your spa surface to come in contact with acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish, dry
cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, abrasive cleaners, or any other harsh chemical. These
chemicals can damage your spa shell and void your warranty.
Note 2:
Avoid using cleaning agents that will leave suds in your spa water.
Note 3:
Be sure to clean the JetPaks and the JetPods (the area behind the JetPaks) approximately twice each year.
SPA CABINET CARE
EternaWood & EternaStone Cabinets:
Your EternaWood and EternaStone cabinet components are made to provide
many years of maintenance free service. For normal cleaning (EternaWood Cabinets only), use Ivory® Liquid
dishwashing detergent or its equivalent. For stubborn stains, contact your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer.
Cedar Wood Cabinet:
Depending on exposure to sunlight, water, and spa chemicals, your spa cabinet will require
staining every 3-9 months. Use an oil-based stain that absorbs into the wood. See your authorized Bullfrog
Portable Spa Dealer for the right stain.
Note 1:
Avoid sealers that cover only the outside of the wood, causing the inside to dry out and crack or even warp.
Note 2:
To prevent stain from getting on other surfaces, use drop cloths at the base of the spa and use painter's tap around the
top lip of the spa.
SPA COVER CARE
Your spa cover is warranted by its manufacturer, Sunstar Enterprises, 127 N. Las Posas, San Marcos, CA 92069
(Phone 760 -744-2172). Although basic instructions are provided below, it is important that you refer to the
Sunstar information that came with your cover. Sunstar provides detailed information on caring for your spa cover
and what to do to protect its warranty.
Cleaning & Conditioning Your Spa Cover:
On a monthly basis, complete the following:
1. Remove the spa cover and lay it down on a flat, clean surface near a garden hose.
2. Rinse the cover to remove any loose debris.
3. Using a soft bristle brush, clean the top (vinyl portion) of the cover with a mild solution of dishwashing liquid
soap-about one teaspoon of soap to two gallons of water. Scrub the cover, using a gentle circular motion, being
careful not to let any areas of the cover dry before rinsing with water.
4. Rinse the cover thoroughly and then dry with a clean cloth.
5. Use saddle soap (never use Armorall) to condition the cover. Follow directions on the container.
6. Wipe and/or rinse any dirt from the bottom side of the cover.
7. Replace the cover and secure with cover locks.
Note:
To remove tree sap, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter, but the type used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly.
Immediately apply saddle soap to that area.
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.
