Treat your spa cover like a fine piece of furniture or expensive automobile.
You wouldn't
think of jumping up and down or placing sharp or heavy objects on them! Consider
purchasing
a spa cover removal system to assist you in moving your cover on and off. It
prolongs the
life of your cover and makes your spa experience so much more enjoyable. Think
of it as the
garage door opener for spas.
FAQ's:
Q: What do I do if I get a puddle on the spa cover?
A: If you get a puddle on your spa cover, unzip the vinyl covering and turn over
the foam core. Tha will probably take care of it. If not, check to see if your
spa
is level.
Q: How often should I clean my spa cover?
A: Once a month, clean and condition your vinyl with cleaner and vinyl
conditioning
creme- complete with UV blockers to help protect your cover from harsh sun.
Vinyl
can dry and become brittle which can cause wear on all the seams and stress
points.
Q: Should I get tie-down straps for my cover?
A: Yes, and be sure to lock down all tie down straps in place after each use of
your
spa. For added security and wind protection, consider using hold-down straps
which lock
down across the spa cover/
Q: How can I remove tree sap, paint, grease or grime from my spa cover?
A: Tree sap can be removed with cigarrette lighter fluid. Use sparingly.
Immediately
apply conditioner to that area. Solvents used to remove wet paint, however, will
damage
the vinyl, so once the paint is dry, it can't be removed. Grease and grime can
be removed
with a thorough washing with spa cover cleaner or a mild liquid dishwashing soap
and water.
Q: What's the best method to clear the underside of the spa cover?
A: A sponge and simple dishwashing liquid with water. Just be sure not to get
any soap
into the spa!
Q: I'm wondering about mildew. Is this a potential problem?
A: The key is to maintain proper water chemistry levels to avoid mildew.
However, if you
do encounter mildew with your cover, here's a simple way to get rid of it.
Remove the foam
cores from the vinyl encasement.
Mix water and mild dishwashing soap. With a soft bristle brush, scrub the inside
of the
encasement in the sun and foam sores in the shade to dry. Once everything is
dry, spray the
cores and encasement with a mildew inhibitor. Allow to dry completely, then
reassemble.
Q: What if my foam core gets broken? Can I obtain replacement foam cores of
the same
quality?
A: Yes, simply have your dealer re-order them for you.
Q: Would anything happen to my cover if my spa water is over-chemicalized?
A: Some bleaching of the bottom vinyl will naturally occur with any spa.
However, drastic
color change is your first sign of improper water chemistry. Since this is not
healthy
for your cover, your spa or your skin, we suggest you ask your dealer how to
maintain
healthy water chemistry.
