Master Spas uses stainless steel in a number of our spas. Its lasting beauty and resistance to corro-
sion make it an excellent material for handrails and jets faces.
With the proper care it will keep its luster for many years. All stainless steel can corrode given the
right circumstances so we have provided a guide to help you keep the stainless components in
your spa looking nice.
Stainless steel derives its ability to resist corrosion by forming a very thin transparent coating on the
surface when exposed to oxygen. This coating can be damaged by abrasive materials such as steel
wool, sand paper, and other cleaning materials that are abrasive. Chlorine salts, sulfides, or other
rusting metals can also erode this thin coating exposing the metal to corrosion.
The best defense to combat corrosion on stainless steel components in your spa is make sure that
it is kept clean and free of any chemical build up.
always:
• Clean frequently with clear clean water.
• Remove any rust spots as soon as they appear with vinegar or a brass, silver, or chrome cleaner.
• Use a good car cleaning wax for extra protection.
Never:
• Clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
• Clean with steel wool or any other abrasive material.
• Leave in contact with iron, steel any other metals.
Note: failure to take proper care of the stainless steel fixture could result with them
rusting. Rusting is not covered by the warranty.
