Covering Your Spa

Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!

•Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.

•Covering your spa will protect your spa’s finish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

•You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.

•Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.

See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock the cover.

In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it 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.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement.

In addition, you need to regularly clean out the filter basket mounted on top of the filter well. See the section “Clear Water Plan” on page 10 for more information on cleaning your filter.

Cleaning the Cover

Vinyl and Leather Cleaner

Because the cover is constantly exposed to weather, you should protect it as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Cal Spas Vinyl and Leather Cleaner is specifically designed to protect spa covers from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants. Cal Spas Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used sparingly. Incorrect usage may cause water clarity issues.

Periodic Maintenance

1.Remove spa cover from spa.

2.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

3.Spray Vinyl and Leather Cleaner to cover evenly and wipe dry.

4.Allow spa cover to dry completely.

5.Reinstall cover on spa.

Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers. These products are generally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.
