MAINTAINING YOUR SPA COVER
Proper Maintenance For Your Spa Cover
Ask Your Dealer About Using A Cover Caddy
PROTECT YOUR COVER!
Use a soft broom to remove accumulation after every snowfall or ice storm.
Splash cool tap water on the hardware to free them if they become frozen shut. Household
lubricating oil will keep the lock free, but apply carefully because it can damage the cabinet
finish.
We recommend a good treatment with Vinyl Conditioner before the first snow or ice. If possible,
treat during the winter too.
Monitor your water chemistry. Even it the spa is not used regularly, improper water chemistry
can cause a mildew build-up on the cover. Clean, PH controlled water will prolong the life of
the cover.
If mildew is found, remove foam cores from the vinyl encasement. Mix water, a teaspoon of
mild dish washing soap and a cup of bleach. With a soft bristle brush, scrub the inside and
outside of the vinyl encasement thoroughly. Then take a washcloth and wipe down each foam
core, rinse thoroughly. Place the encasement in the sun and foam cores in the shade to dry.
Once everything is thoroughly dry, spray the cores and encasement with a mildew inhibitor.
Allow to dry completely, then reassemble. The key here, of course, is to maintain proper water
chemistry to avoid mildew.
We suggest rotating the cover every six months to maintain even wear. Unzip the cover, remove
the foam cores, turn over and reassemble.
