CARE OF THE EXTERIOR

SPA SHELL
Your HOT SPRING spa has an acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally
will not adhere to your spa's surface. A soft rag should easily remove
most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa's shell
(see below for detailed information on cleaning agents). Always rinse
off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
IMPORTANT:
1. The following products are the ONLY approved cleaning agents
for your HOT SPRING spa shell: plain water, HOT SPRING
FRESHWATER Spa Shine, or Soft Scrub
any other household cleaner other than those listed to clean the
spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning
products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage
the shell surface, specifically: Simple Green
NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by use of
harsh chemicals is not covered under the warranty. Always rinse off
any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
2. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go
unchecked. Ask your HOT SPRING dealer about a Stain and Scale
Inhibitor to use if your spa has a high concentration of dissolved
minerals. (Watkins recommends FRESHWATER Stain & Scale
Defense.)
3. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when
applying.
SPA CABINET
HOT SPRING spas include a spa cabinet made from a rigid polymer for
durability and adds a finish that provides a rich, attractive appearance.
Cleaning of the cabinet consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a
mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and residue.
Do not rub the cabinet with abrasive materials or use abrasive cleaners
as this may damage its surface.

CARE OF THE SPA COVER

WARNING: The cover is a manual safety cover that meets or
exceeds all prevailing requirements of ASTM 1346-91 for spa safety
covers when installed and used correctly as of the date of manufacture.
Non-secured, or improperly secured covers are a hazard.
Open the cover to its fully open position before use.
VINYL COVER
The vinyl spa cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product.
Monthly cleaning and conditioning are recommended to maintain its
beauty.
To clean and condition the vinyl cover:
1. Remove the cover from the spa.
2. With a garden hose, spray the cover to loosen and rinse away dirt or
debris.
3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild
soap solution (one teaspoon dishwashing liquid with two gallons ]7.5 liters]
of water), or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a
circular motion. Do not let the vinyl dry with a soap film on it before it can
be rinsed clean.
4. Scrub the cover's perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.
5. Rinse off the underside of the cover with water only (use no soap), and
wipe it clean with a dry rag.
6. To condition the cover after cleaning, apply a thin film of HOT SPRING
Cover Shield to the vinyl surface and buff to a high luster.
IMPORTANT: To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not charcoal
lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and rinse with a saddle soap solution
immediately afterwards, then wipe dry.
DO:
• Remove snow buildup to avoid breakage of the foam core from the
additional weight of the snow.
• Lock cover lock straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use.
DON'T:
• Drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps, or the cover lock straps.
• Walk, stand, or sit on the cover.
• Place any metal or heat transferring object on the cover or place any
type of plastic tarp or drop cloth over the cover as this may result in a
melted foam core, which would not be covered under the warranty.
• Use any lifting mechanisms, chemicals, or cleaners except those
recommended by WATKINS WELLNESS, or its Authorized Sales and
Service Dealer.
