MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont...

SPA CABINET CARE

Your spa comes standard with a PermaWood, or faux wood, cabinet.

This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the cabi-

net with mild soap and water from time to time. If you elected to pur-

chase your spa with a wood cabinet, this cabinet is stained and sealed

with an oil based acrylic stain. The stain is formulated especially for spa

cabinet and deck applications and is resistant to ultraviolet light damage

caused by sun rays. It is also resistant to fungus and insect damage.

Your Artesian dealer carries this type of stain for your convenience, so

call your dealer when you’re ready to re-stain your cabinet. You should

re-stain your wood cabinet at least once a year, or more frequently de-

pending on your environmental conditions.

1) Gently wash the cabinet with mild soap and water and allow to dry

completely.

2) Moisten a rag with the stain you have purchased from your Artesian

dealer.

3) Apply the stain on the entire cabinet surface, wiping off any excess

stain as you are applying.

4) Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before getting the cabi-

net wet.

NOTE: Do not apply any solid type finish such as shellac or varnish.

After weathering, these types of finishes will crack and/or turn yellow.

To refinish the wood, you will need to completely strip the finish before

applying the new one. Use only the stain recommended by your Arte-

sian dealer for refinishing your spa.

CLEANING YOUR SPA INTERIOR

It is important to clean the interior of your spa every time it is drained to

help preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface. However, it is important

that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals. Your

Artesian Spas authorized dealer will be able to supply.
