Cleaning Your Hot Tub

Your hot tub shell consists of two layers of plastic materials. Its smooth surface of acrylic is
tough and durable and contains concentrated color. This is supported by a substantial thickness
of fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin. A catalyst causes a chemical reaction during
manufacture that bonds these layers permanently into a hard, strong material. With a minimum
amount of care and cleaning, your hot tub will look new for years.
To clean your hot tub, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or a
commercially prepared hot tub cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. You can protect and
restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying Mequiar's #10 Mirror Glaze, which is a
product specifically designed for use on acrylic finishes. If Mequiar's is not available, an
acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax will do.
Use a hot tub cleaner for residue build-up at the water level of the hot tub 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 hot tub 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 the normal level.

Covering Your Hot Tub

An optional hot tub cover for your hot tub is available from your Jacuzzi Premium Spas dealer.
Use of this cover will help 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 hot tub when not in use. Follow the instructions for use and care
provided with the hot tub cover.
CAUTION: The hot tub 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.
NOTE: Jacuzzi Premium Spas does not guarentee or warrant this cover. Refer to the
hot tub cover manufacturer's information provided with the cover.
