Spa Cover Care Tips:
Keep The Cover Clean
The exterior vinyl needs to stay clean and conditioned. Use a 303 COVER CARE CONDITIONER or water solution to clean the vinyl portion of the cover at least twice per month. NEVER USE ANY PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS TO CLEAN OR MAINTAIN YOUR SPA COVER!
Maintain Proper Spa Water Chemistry
Ensuring the spa water chemistry is balanced will reduce the corrosiveness of the vapors emanating from the tub, thereby prolonging the life of the protective cover. Maintaining proper water balance is crucial for the longevity of the cover’s protective layers, thereby extending its lifespan. Chemicals must be balanced and monitored. Excessive sanitizer can lead to premature deterioration of the underside vinyl, the 4 ml vapor barrier, and subsequently cause waterlogging of the foam cores. It’s essential to allow sufficient “gas off” time after adding chemicals (15 minutes should suffice).
Unzip The Cover and Clean
Wipe the interior section of the zipper at least twice a year to prevent mildew buildup. Mildew tends to accumulate in this area, so proper sanitation is crucial to avoid its development.
Remove The Foam Cores
After removing the foam cores, flip them over at least once a year. This is because the cover acts as a protective layering system that slows down the absorption of water vapor by the foam core. However, the corrosive vapors that form in the spa gradually break down these layers over time. By flipping the cores over, you begin working on the other side of the protective wrap, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the cover.
How To Properly Use The Spa Cover Handle
Over time, your spa cover will likely become significantly heavier than when you first purchased it. Since the handles have a limited stitching area, they may not be able to withstand the weight of older spa covers and could potentially rip off. Therefore, we strongly advise you to handle the handles with utmost care.
Never Stand, Sit, and/or Walk On Your Cover
Covers are designed for safety and to insulate the tub from heat loss. It’s not recommended to stand, sit, or walk on a standard insulating spa cover.
