Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying a vinyl and leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Use a product that is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.

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

Spa Shell

Each time you drain your spa, before you refill it you should clean your spa shell with an all-purpose cleaner and apply a coat of surface protectant.

Use a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specifically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its acrylic finish.

Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specifically formulated to protect the spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.
