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 specically
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 generally
oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difcult to correct.
Spa Shell
Each time you drain your spa, before you rell 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 specically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its
acrylic nish.
Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specically formulated to protect the spa’s nish from the
chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to
x water clarity problems by ltering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive ltration
times, or by water replacement.
See the section “Clear Water Plan” for more information on cleaning your lter.
Cleaning the Hydrostreamers
The hydrostreamers can also be easily removed for cleaning.
Grasp the outer rim of the hydrostreamer and turn it counter-clockwise. The hydrostreamer will unscrew from
the tting until it is free.
(Shown below in the sequence from left to right is the process for removing the hydrostreamer. Once the inside
lter is removed, tap the lter unit or blow out any debris covering the holes.)
To replace the hydrostreamer, place it in the tting and turn it clockwise until it is snug in place. Do not
overtighten it.
