Covering Your Spa

An optional rigid spa cover for your spa is available

from your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer. Use of this
cover will help to reduce energy costs by minimizing heat
loss and evaporation. In addition, the attractive cover is
an effective means of preventing debris such as leaves
and dirt from entering your spa when not in use. Follow
the instructions for use and care provided with the spa
cover.

CAUTION: The spa cover is not designed to support
any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution and
to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit,
stand, or lie on it; nor should you place objects of
any kind on top of it.

Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not guarantee or

warrant this cover. Refer to spa cover manufacturer's
information provided with the cover.

Repairs to the Acrylic

Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color

finish (acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. Restore the glossy finish with Meguiar’s #10
Mirror Glaze or comparable automotive paste wax.

Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the

acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer for special instructions.

Cleaning Your Spa

Your spa shell consists of two layers of plastic

materials. Its smooth top surface of acrylic is tough and
durable and contains concentrated color. This is sup-
ported by a substantial thickness of fiberglass-rein-
forced polyester resin. A catalyst causes a chemical
reaction during manufacture that bonds these layers
permanently into a hard, strong material. With a mini-
mum amount of care and cleaning, your whirlpool spa
will look new for years.

To clean your spa, simply use a mild, nonabrasive

liquid detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or commercially pre-
pared spa cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. You
can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by
applying Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze, which is a product
specifically designed for use on acrylic finishes. If
Meguiar’s is not available, an acrylic polish of equal
quality or automotive paste wax will do.

Use a spa cleaner for residue buildup at the water

level of the spa surface. This may be applied to the
acrylic surface with a soft cloth and wiped clean. Use
sparingly in small amounts to avoid contaminating the
spa water. If the water line is heavily soiled, it may be
advisable to lower the water level 2-3 inches before
cleaning; then refill to normal level.
