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 or a nylon scrubber 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
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
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 WELLNESS recommends FRESHWATER
Stain & Scale Defense.)
3. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when
applying.
EVERWOOD SPA CABINET
®
HOT SPRING spas include an EVERWOOD spa cabinet. EVERWOOD
consists of a rigid polymer with an exterior acrylic film that combines the
durability of plastic with the beauty of real wood.
Cleaning of EVERWOOD consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a
mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and residue.
Do not rub the EVERWOOD with an abrasive material or use abrasive
cleaners as this may damage its texture.

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 and gently lean it against a wall or
fence.
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 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.

HOW TO OPEN THE VINYL COVER
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to open or remove the vinyl cover by
grasping or pulling on the skirting or cover lock straps. The skirting will
tear, and torn skirting is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
Check for ice build-up around the gas springs and pivot points of the
retractable cover system. Ice buildup may damage system components.
WARNING: The vinyl cover and retractable cover system are not
recommended for use in wind conditions reaching above 25 mph (40 kmh).
IMPORTANT: If your spa is located in an area susceptible to high winds,
additional coverlock straps may be installed to minimize wind damage to
the cover.
1. With the cover lock straps unfastened, place one hand under the
cover skirting, between the spa and cover, to break the cover's
vacuum seal. Then, fold the front half of the cover over onto the back
half.
2. If no rear access is available, stand to the side of the spa directly
adjacent to the hinge area of the folded cover.
a. For the COVERCRADLE retractable cover systems: Using
both hands, cup one hand under the lower half of the cover (just
above the water) and place the other along the side of the cover,
just above the skirt. Gently push (do not lift) with both hands
towards the opposite rear corner of the cover (diagonally). As the
cover opens, the gas springs will allow the cover to come to a
gentle stop.
b. For the UPRITE retractable cover system: Simply lift the cover
at its center hinge, allowing it to move to the back of the spa and
to rest gently there.
