mer/filter door.

struction debris. Remove stubborn stains, paint, or
tar with turpentine, isopropyl alcohol or paint thinner.
A mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth
is fine for cleaning off other dirt. Plaster can be
removed by scraping with a wooden edge; do not use
a metal scraper, wire brush, or other metal tools, as
they will damage the spa’s surface
