Your Sapphire Spa is manufactured 

from the highest grade acrylic material 

available. To ensure that it keeps its 

finish for many years, a small amount  

of maintenance is required periodically.

General cleaning

Acrylic is very easy to clean and 

generally stains and dirt will not adhere 

to the surface, however you may wish  

to wipe down the acrylic surface with 

a soft, damp cloth/sponge and a 

non-abrasive cleaner (ex. Methylated 

spirits) after use or during your normal 

maintenance program. 

Stubborn marks 

For more stubborn marks, your should 

consult your Sapphire Spa dealer for 

advice on a recommended acrylic 

surface cleaner.

Crazing

 

May occur in acrylic surface as fine lines 

when spa is exposed to extremely high 

temperatures even with cover on.  

These are non structural and not covered 

under warranty.

Surface scratches

You may also experience surface 

scratches caused by general wear  

and tear. If so, it is strongly 

recommended that you consult your 

Sapphire Spas dealer before attempting 

to remove them using the following 

method. Apply car polish or a similar 

product and lightly rub out the scratch  

in a circular motion.

Sunlight & UV exposure

Do not expose the acrylic shell to direct 

sunlight or UV for any prolonged period 

as this may have a detrimental effect on 

the surface and possibly void warranty.

Dirt & sand

Avoid allowing dirt and sand, caused 

by bathers entering the spa, simply by 

placing a mat or footbath in the entry 

areas of the spa. This will assist in the 

easier maintenance of the acrylic surface.

Cedar cabinets 

If you have chosen a cedar cabinet  

for your spa, you can rest easy knowing 

it has been engineered and designed 

withthe highest grade 20mm western  

red cedar available and has been  

treated with premium grade, mould 

resistant stain. 

Regular treatment of the cabinet will 

enhance the natural look of the cedar 

and ensure that your spa will always  

be the centre piece in its location for 

many years to come. 

Consult your dealer for the ideal product 

to stain and protect your cabinet. 

To treat your cabinet you will need to 

lightly sand the timber, then apply a good 

even coat of stain. Small marks and 

scratches can be treated the same way. 

Your cabinet life will depend on how 

you choose to maintain it and harsher 

conditions will determine how often the 

timber requires treatment. 

If you notice the cedar losing its richness 

of colour, it may be time for a treatment. 

Sapphire Spas recommend treatment 

after 6 months of usage,  

and then periodically every 12 months. 

Duratek cabinets

Duratek cabinets must be washed down 

with a soap and water  

solution every 6-12 months.
