HOT TUB CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Draining Your Hot Tub
Under normal usage, you should change the water in your hot tub every 3-4 months.
To drain hot tubs equipped with the Quick Drain System, first turn off electrical power
to your hot tub. Unscrew the round cap in the center of the quick drain and attach a
garden hose. Turn the outer ring (or valve) 1/2 turn counterclockwise and pull it to-
ward you to open it. To close, push it in and turn it clockwise 1/2 turn.
The remaining water in the hot tub can be scooped or sponged out and you are now
ready to clean the ABS plastic surface. Note: It is recommended that you not drain
water onto grass or vegetation since chemicals in the hot tub water may damage
them.
Cleaning The Hot Tub Surface
Your Shoreline Leisure Products™ hot tub is manufactured with a premium grade weatherable ABS. The quality finish
is durable and easy to clean and maintain. When the hot tub is empty, you can clean the surface by using a mild, non-
abrasive liquid detergent, or specially formulated hot tub cleaner. Thoroughly remove all residue from the cleaning
agent prior to refilling the hot tub. Do not use an abrasive brush or cleaning agent, as it will scratch the ABS finish. If
you have stubborn dirt or scum marks at the water line, use a hot tub cleaner and a scrub pad designed for use on plas-
tic surfaces, which are available at your local hot tub dealership.
Power Boost and Micro Jets
The interchangeable Power Boost and Micro Jet inserts should be removed from time to time to clean off any accumu-
lated hair, dirt deposits, etc. This will insure proper operation of the water flow control feature.
Thermal Hot Tub Cover
It is important that you properly care for your hot tub cover. Do not sit or stand on the
cover, as it will break. Do not let snow build up on your cover. Locking tie-down
straps are included with your cover and should be used to prevent access to the hot
tub by children. They will also help to prevent the wind from lifting the cover off your
hot tub. If your hot tub is located outdoors, it is important that the cover be installed on
the hot tub even if the tub has been drained. This will protect the hot tub shell from the
intense heat of the sun. Periodically clean your cover as described in the maintenance
and cleaning instructions provided with the cover. When handling your cover, take care not to drag it over rough sur-
faces that will scuff or tear the fabric. Always lift by the handles or use the cover lift device which is available from your
Shoreline Leisure Products™ dealer.
Hot Tub Exterior Care
The hot tub exterior is made of a specially formulated polyethylene plastic. It is very resistant to scratching and denting
and can be cleaned with a mild detergent or vinyl siding cleaner.
