Your Vita Spa has been designed and
e n gineered for year-round use in any cli-
mate. If the spa will not be used, drain it
c o m p l e t e l y, following the instructions on
“ D RA INING THE SPA .”If you intend to use
the spa during the winter, keep the spa
covered to prevent heat loss.
NATURAL REDWOOD
Although your spa came stained from the
factory, exposure to wind, rain and sun
will cause the wood to weather. Much
like any piece of furniture, if your spa
came with natural redwood, you will be
required to preserve it from time to time
(suggested minimum of two times per
year). Your Vita Spa is treated with a spe-
cially formulated “water-based” stain and
s e a l e r. This sealer can be obtained
through your local Vita Spa dealer. DO
NOT USE URETHANE OR POLYESTER
COATINGS that will prevent the wood
from its need for natural moisturizing.
COVER MAINTENANCE
Your cover is manufactured from a
durable marine grade, UV resistant mate-
rial. Even so, monthly cleaning and peri-
odic conditioning is recommended to
maintain its beauty. To clean and condi-
tion the vinyl cover: Lightly spray the
cover with a garden hose to rinse it and
remove the debris. Using a large sponge
or soft cloth and a mild soap solution (1
teaspoon dish washing liquid with 2 gal-
lons of water), scrub lightly in circular
motion. Then rinse it thoroughly with
plenty of water. Condition the vinyl after
cleaning by applying a thin film of vinyl
conditioner. NOTE: To remove tree saps,
use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter but
the kind used in cigarette lighters).
Use sparingly and rinse with mild soap
solution afterwards. Wipe dry.
CARE OF ACRYLIC SURFACE
To maintain the surface of your spa, sim-
ply clean with a soft damp cloth (a mild
detergent is okay) or with any glass
cleaner. DO NOT clean the surface with
any type of abrasive as it will dull the sur-
face and natural luster of the acrylic. DO
NOT use any type of oil based solvent.
Such products can be very harmful to the
surface of the spa and will void the sur-
face warranty of the spa.
CARE OF SPA PILLOWS
The spa pillows will provide years of com-
f o rt if treated with care. Each pillow has
been positioned above the water level to
minimize the bleaching effects of chlori-
nated water and other spa water chemi-
cals. It is recommended that pillows be
removed and cleaned each time the spa
itself is cleaned. A mild soap and warm
water works best in removing body oils.
A LWAYS rinse the pillows off thoroughly
after applying any type of soap to assure
that no residue remains. If you are win-
terizing your spa or do not plan on using
it for a while, it is best to remove the pil-
lows until the next use. Pillows should
always be removed whenever the spa is
being superchlorinated.
