MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Spa

Your spa shell consists of two layers of plastic materials. Its smooth top surface of acrylic is tough and durable and contains concentrated color. This is sup- ported by a substantial thickness of fiberglass-rein- forced polyester resin. A catalyst causes a chemical reaction during manufacture that bonds these layers permanently into a hard, strong material. With a mini- mum amount of care and cleaning, your whirlpool spa will look new for years.

To clean your spa, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or commercially pre- pared spa cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. You can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze, which is a product specifically designed for use on acrylic finishes. If Meguiar’s is not available, an acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax will do.

Use a spa cleaner for residue buildup at the water level of the spa surface. This may be applied to the acrylic surface with a soft cloth and wiped clean. Use sparingly in small amounts to avoid contaminating the spa water. If the water line is heavily soiled, it may be advisable to lower the water level 2-3 inches before cleaning; then refill to normal level.

Covering Your Spa

An optional rigid spa cover for your spa is available from your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer. Use of this cover will help to reduce energy costs by minimizing heat loss and evaporation. In addition, the attractive cover is an effective means of preventing debris such as leaves and dirt from entering your spa when not in use. Follow the instructions for use and care provided with the spa cover.

CAUTION: The spa cover is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it; nor should you place objects of any kind on top of it.

Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not guarantee or warrant this cover. Refer to spa cover manufacturer's information provided with the cover.

Repairs to the Acrylic

Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish (acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper. Restore the glossy finish with Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze or comparable automotive paste wax.

Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer for special instructions.
