Contact your authorized Villeroy & Boch Dealer for repair.
Spa Shell Care
The spa cover is an essential part of the spa system. It will both
protect the spa and to provide the highest possible efficiency. To
ensure you have the best experience possible, ensure the cover is
in place except during spa use. The best protection for your comes
when the cover is on the spa with the skirt covering the entire
shell.
General Cleaning
For normal cleaning, use a mild dishwashing soap, window
cleaner, or other products recommended by your local authorized
Villeroy & Boch Dealer. For stubborn stains, use a mild acrylic
cleaner or a mild detergent. To apply these cleaners, use a soft,
damp cloth or sponge. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. To
clean hard water stains, remove light scratches and protect your
spa shell, contact your authorized Villeroy & Boch Dealer.
Cleaning the Scum Line
With normal use of the spa, oils, lotions, and hair products will
build up on the surface of the water. This will leave a scum line
around the perimeter. This can be easily removed using a spa
surface cleaner or its equivalent. Avoid using cleaning agents that
leave soap residue in the water.
WARNING:
Never allow your spa surface to be exposed to
alcohol, acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish, dry cleaning
solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, abrasive cleaners,
or any other household chemicals other than those listed. These
chemicals void the warranty.
Special Care For Comfort Series
Injection Molded JetPaks
High levels of sanitizer and normal use over time can have a
bleaching effect on the injection molded (dark gray) Jetpaks.
These can be cleaned / buffed to look like new again with the
aid of automotive polishing compound found at any automotive
retailer. Simply use a soft towel to rub this compound onto the
plastic. Then buff with a dry towel.
JetPak™ Plumbing Care
For optimum spa care, each time the spa water is changed,
remove all JetPaks. Clean the back manifold area on with a spa
surface cleaner and a long, soft bristle brush. For cleaning the
JetPak acrylic surface, refer to Spa Shell Care.
Spa Cabinet Care
The EternaWood™ cabinet components are made to provide
many years of maintenance-free service. For normal cleaning,
use a mild dishwashing soap. For stubborn stains, contact your
authorized Villeroy & Boch Dealer.
Spa Cover Care
Your spa cover is warranted by its manufacturer. Although basic
instructions are provided below, it is important that you refer to
the information that came with the cover. The manufacturer
provides detailed information on caring for your spa cover
and what to do to protect its warranty.
