10.5 Maintaining The Cover
Using the Portofino insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in
use will significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time and
maintenance requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it
with care and clean it regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic
treatments with a special conditioner developed for Sundance spa
covers will help protect against deterioration caused by UV rays
from the sun. Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and
avoid dragging it across rough surfaces.
10.6 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your spa will
tend to lose its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood
surface is a fairly simple process. Light sanding with fine-grit sand-
paper will help smooth any roughness. Regular applications of a
penetrating wood preservative will enhance and protect the richness
of the wood. A specially formulated wood stain available from your
Sundance dealer is ideal for this job.
Note: Do not apply varnish,
shellac or other surface sealant to the wood. These tend to react
with the chemicals in the wood and the UV rays of the sun, causing
yellowing, flaking and peeling.
10.7 Maintaining The Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of
any kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild
soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any
reason since this action may induce an electrical short in
the spa’s electrical equipment.
10.8 Winterizing The Spa
Your Portofino spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing
temperatures, you should check periodically to be certain that the
electrical supply to the spa has not been interrupted. If you do not
intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power outage
