Maintenance
Spa Shell Care
General Cleaning
For normal cleaning, use a mild dishwashing soap such as
Ivory
®
liquid or a window cleaner such as Windex
®
. For
stubborn stains, use a mild liquid cleaner such as Softscrub
®
or a mild detergent such as Spic And Span
®
. To apply these
cleaners, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Rinse well and
dry with a clean cloth. To clean hard water stains, remove
light scratches and protect your spa shell, contact your
authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
Cleaning the Scum Line
With normal use of the spa, oils, lotions, and hairspray will
build up on the surface of the water. This will leave a scum
line around the perimeter. This can be easily removed using a
spa surface cleaner or its equivalent. Avoid using cleaning
agents that leave suds in the water.
WARNING: Never allow your spa surface to be exposed
to alcohol, acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish,
drycleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil,
abrasive cleaners, or any other household chemicals other
than those listed. These chemicals can void the warranty.
JetPak
™
Plumbing Care
At least twice a year, or every time spa water is changed,
remove all JetPaks. Clean the plumbing on the back of the
JetPaks with a spa surface cleaner and a long, soft bristle
brush. For cleaning the JetPak acrylic surface, refer to Spa
Shell Care.
Spa Cabinet Care
The EternaWood
™
cabinet components are made to provide
many years of maintenance-free service. For normal cleaning,
use a mild dishwashing soap. For stubborn stains, contact your
authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
Spa Cover Care
Your spa cover is warranted by its manufacturer, Sunstar
Enterprises, 255 Redel Road, San Marcos, CA 92078
[phone]. Although basic instructions are provided
below, it is important that you refer to the Sunstar information
that came with the cover. Sunstar provides detailed
information on caring for your spa cover and what to do to
protect its warranty.
WARNING: A non-secured or improperly secured cover may
pose a safety threat to children and may also cause damage
or injury if blown off by wind. Always remove entire cover
before using the spa.
IMPORTANT: Do not stand, sit, or place any item on the cover
that could damage it. Gently remove any snow accumulations
over 2” (5.08cm). Do not use any cleaners other than those
recommended by Sunstar Entreprises. Always secure the cover
with all of the cover locks when not in use, whether the spa is
empty or full of water. When Super Sanitizing your spa, always
follow the cover care instructions provided in the Super Sanitation
section.
Cleaning the Spa Cover
At least monthly, clean the spa cover.
Step 1: Remove the cover and lay it down on a at, clean
surface near a garden hose.
Step 2: Rinse the cover to remove any loose debris.
Step 3: Clean the top (vinyl) of the cover with a mild solution
of dishwashing soap and a soft bristle brush. Using a gentle
circular motion, scrub the cover, careful to not let any of the
cover dry before rinsing with water.
Step 4: Rinse the cover thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth.
Step 5: Use saddle soap (never a petroleum-based product)
to condition the cover per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 6: Wipe and rinse any dirt from the bottom of the cover.
Step 7: Replace the cover and secure the locks.
NOTE: To remove tree sap, use lighter uid (the type used in
cigarette lighters). Use sparingly. Immediately, apply saddle
soap to the area.
Miscellaneous Care
Cleaning and Protecting the Headrests
Regularly, clean all headrests with mild soap, water, and a
clean cloth. Monthly, use a non-petroleum-based product
such as 303 Aerospace Protectant manufactured by 303
Products, Inc. This will maintain water resistance and luster of
the product.
NOTE: Headrest discoloration is caused by improper water
chemistry and is not covered under the Bullfrog warranties.
Vacuum the Spa
Debris from wind, trees, and users will occasionally accumulate
on the bottom of the spa. The ltration system will remove the
smaller debris; however, debris that is too large or heavy will
have to be removed by a spa vacuum. If you do not have a
spa vacuum, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
