EXTERIOR
Depending upon your choice of a natural cedar or DuraWood exterior, there are
several routine maintenance steps you should follow.
Wood Exterior:
The wood exterior has been treated with a water-
based wood preservative at the factory. It is
suggested that the exterior be treated every six
months with an additional coat of preservative for
maximum weather protection. Your Dealer can
suggest the best preservative for your environment
and also provide the
Super Deck Wood Care Kit.
DuraWood Exterior:
This low maintenance exterior material is optional with the All Weather Package
(AWP). Wipe down DuraWood
exterior with a soft sponge, cloth,
Scumbug
Duramitt #6875,
or
Tub Scrubber #6000
and mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Isopropyl
alcohol diluted 1:1 with water may be used on stubborn marks.
DO NOT USE
ACETONE
as it may damage the surface.
DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA
It is recommended that you completely drain your spa every three months. A Mainte-
nance Reminder will appear as CH to remind you to change water. More frequent
draining may be required depending on use. If the water is not changed regularly, the
water becomes chemically saturated and wont respond to regular chemical additions.
The spa should also be drained before long periods of
disuse. An empty spa should be covered; direct sunlight
on the spa surface can cause severe damage or blemish-
ing and can result in the voiding of any surface warranties.
The
Marquis Drain and Clean Kit #2445
includes every-
thing necessary for a thorough draining regime. To drain
the spa for cleaning or servicing, follow the steps below:
Hose Bib Drain
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
Use
Swirl Away Plumbing Cleaner
just prior to draining
to rid the spa of any buildup from oils, lotions, etc. in
plumbing lines and jets.
2. Attach a garden hose to the hose bib in the spas
equipment area.
3. Open the hose bib by turning the lever counterclock-
wise. Gravity will cause the water to drain from hose.
4. When the spa is empty, close the hose bib and remove
the hose. Keep the hose bib open for long periods of disuse.
5. Fill your spa with fresh water from a garden hose and
add the necessary chemicals. It is necessary to
Shock
the water after each refill before using your spa. Follow
the procedures outlined in STARTING YOUR SPA.
