Care and maintenance of your Spa Cover
Apply a product specifically designed for spa covers, or saddle soap, to protect the
outer vinyl jacket.
Avoid product containig silicone such as auto vinyl product.
Maintain good water chemistry. Consult the water quality with your hottub
dealer. Poor water quality can adversely affect the condition and quality of your
thermocover.
Wait 30-45 minutes after adding chemicals to your spa before putting the cover
back on – vthis will allow fumes to disperse.
Handle your cover with care – dropping the cover can cause foam breakage.
Do not lift or move your cover by the straps or skirt. Do not use the handles to
carry you cover they should be used for opening and closing the cover only. Our
covers seal tightly and can cause a vakuum. Slip a hand under the cover below
the handle before opening rather than tugging on the handle. A cover lifter is
recommended.
A good brushing and hose-down will suffice between cleanings, but covers
should be cleaned thoroughly at least twice a year. To celan the outside, use a
mild dishwashing soap or specialty.spa-cover cleaning product, rinse and let dry
thoroughly.
A ¼ cup of bleach in a gallon of wather can by used to clean the inside of the jacket
to discourage mildew.
To clean the inside, unizip the cover and remove the foam cores. Scrub the inside of
the jacket with a soft bristle brush, wipe cores with a soft cloth or sponge with mild
soap or spa cover cleaner, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly before reassembling.
Do not leave the foam cores in direct sunlight – they may melt.
When reassembling the cover, flip over the foam cores. Flipping the foam twice a
year will maximize water run-off, and lengthen the life of the cover considerably.
If you only open one side fo your spa when using, make sure you switch the cores
from side to side periodically to prevent overexpousure on one side.
Snow, rain and regular wear can cause covers to saq and collect water, and the
weight of this watermagnifies the sagging problém. Heavy snow should be brushed
off the cover and not allowed to accumulate. Use a broom only to remove snow and
ice, never a shovel. Never leave your cover on an empty spa for long periods, or full
with the heat on for long periods, without checking it. Condensation can result in
water getting inside the cover and cause sagging.
A thermal spa blanket can by placed on the water´s surface to assist with heat
retention and protect the underside of the spa cover.
The seal that prevents heat los sis created by the bottom of the spa cover coming
into contact with the top of the spa, not by the skirt/flap that covers the acrylic.
Please make sure there is nothing preventing the bottom of the cover from coming
in contact with the top of the spa around the entire unit. This includes the pillows in
the fold. Center the cover on the spa, be sure the Seal –Tight pillows are positioned
correctly to help secure the seal, and lock down the straps, ort he cover may not
seal properly.
