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 specically
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 difcult to correct.
Spa Shell
Each time you drain your spa, before you rell 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 specically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its
acrylic nish.
Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specically formulated to protect the spa’s nish from the
chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.
