CARE OF THE EXTERIOR
SPA SHELL
Your Caldera
®
spa has a granite like shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. A soft rag or a nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt.
Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. Watkins
®
Manufacturing Corp. recommends Soft Scrub
®
and Windex
®
. These are the only products which
have passed the manufacturer’s tests. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be used for minor surface cleaning. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning
agent with fresh water.
SERVICE NOTES:
1. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask your Caldera dealer for a stain and scale Inhibitor to use if your spa water has a
high concentration of dissolved minerals.
2. The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning products
containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface.
NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS!
Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals
is not covered under the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Some surface cleaners contain eye and skin irritants. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when applying.
CARE OF THE SPA COVER
WARNING:
The cover is a manual safety cover that meets or exceeds all prevailing requirements of ASTM Standards for spa safety covers when installed and used
correctly as of the date of manufacture. Non-secured or improperly secured covers are a hazard. Open the cover to its fully open position before use.
VINYL COVER
The vinyl spa cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product. Monthly cleaning and conditioning are recommended to maintain its beauty.
To clean and condition the vinyl cover:
1. Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it against a wall or fence.
2. With a garden hose, spray the cover to loosen and rinse away dirt or debris.
3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons of water) or baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. Do not let the vinyl dry with a soap film on it before it can be rinsed clean.
4. Scrub the cover’s perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.
5. Rinse off the underside of the cover with water only (use no soap), and wipe it clean with a dry rag.
SERVICE NOTE:
To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and rinse with a saddle soap solution immediately
afterwards, then wipe dry.
Important reminders:
•
DO
remove snow buildup to avoid breakage of the foam core from the additional weight of the snow.
•
DO
lock cover lock straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use.
•
DO NOT
drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps or the cover lock straps.
•
DO NOT
walk, stand, or sit on the cover.
•
DO NOT
place any metal or heat transferring object on the cover or place any type of plastic tarp or drop cloth over the cover as this may result in a melted
foam core, which would not be covered under the warranty.
•
DO NOT
use any lifting mechanisms, chemicals or cleaners except those recommended by Watkins
®
Manufacturing Corporation or its Authorized Sales and
Service Dealer
WOOD SPA CABINET (STANDARD)
The spa cabinet on Caldera
®
spas is constructed of high-quality wood. The wood cabinet is factory-sealed with a lightly tinted stain for beauty and protection. As with all
wood products, prolonged exposure will cause discoloration and drying. Do not use wood sealers or wood furniture-type oils such as tung, teak or lemon to seal the
cabinet, as they will cause the wood to blacken. Discoloration or aging of the redwood cabinet is considered natural and is not covered by the limited warranty.
NOTE:
Always test a small area (such as one or two vertical corner boards) or your spa cabinet for stain compatibility before applying a non-recommended stain.
ECOTECH
TM
SPA CABINET (OPTIONAL)
EcoTech consists of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic, with the beauty of wood. EcoTech won’t crack, peel, blister, or delaminate even after
prolonged exposure to the elements.
Cleaning of EcoTech consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and residue.
