the spa shell as this will cause suds build up in your spa water and you'll
find yourself changing the water more frequently than should be neces-
sary.
CAUTION: Do not use “409” type cleaners or other caustic solutions as
they may damage the spa shell surface and void the warranty. If you are
using baking soda to clean your spa shell, be careful not to get it on the
skirt. It may bleach the wood.
CARE FOR THE SPA CABINET
When properly cared for, the wood cabinet of your spa will maintain its
beauty for many years. All woods react to the elements differently by
expanding and contracting. Re-stain the wood every 3-6 months, to thor-
oughly protect it. 'Heart redwood' or 'Coastal' stain, manufactured by
Duckback serves as a good sealing agent for the wood. Please note that
the cabinet is not warranted against reaction to natural weather condi-
tions. The wood must be properly maintained.
CARE FOR THE SPA COVER
The thermal cover for your spa is an extremely durable foam insulated
product. See the manufacturer's literature for proper cleaning instruc-
tions. When the spa is not in use, it is recommended that the cover tie
downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised children and mini-
mize heat loss. Small locks are also available for the cover tie downs. In
either case, these locking methods are not considered adequate to keep
unauthorized people from entering the spa.
SPECIAL COLD WEATHER INSTRUCTIONS
Winter is one of the best times of the year to enjoy the warmth of your
spa. Your Dimension One spa is 100% fully foam insulated and will not
cost significantly more to operate in the winter than any other time of
year. Because it is very difficult to get the water out of all of the plumb-
ing lines, we do not recommend draining your spa for the winter.
However, if you don't plan to use your spa during the winter, we recom-
mend you winterize it as follows:
If you decide to drain the spa, drain it as completely as possible. You
may wish to tilt the spa on edge and use a wet-vac or high pressure blow-
er to evacuate as much water as possible. This will require additional
