Jacuzzi alimia Installation Manual Use & Maintenance page 41

• The suction intake grilles must be checked at least once a
week.
• The cushions are provided with clips and can be easily re-
moved for cleaning.
Regularly clean the cushions using a cloth, soap and water. Y-
ou are advised to use protective products to increase water re-
sistance and maintain their shiny appearance.
• For long periods of disuse, it is advisable to completely drain
the system (refer to the chapter on emptying the tub and win-
ter shutdown). Periodic drainage, during normal use, varies de-
pending on the frequency of use, the contaminants and the type
of installation.
Even if not used particularly frequently, you should change the
water at least once a month.
• There are no recommendations against the use of perfumes,
essence oils, Dead Sea salts, table salt, etc.
I MAINTENANCE OF THERMAL COVER
• Use a neutral cleaner, then rinse with clean water.
• If necessary, use a specific product after cleaning to restore
and maintain the material's shine.
I MAINTENANCE OF SYNTHETIC WOOD PARTS
• Synthetic wood panels require little maintenance; use a neu-
tral detergent when cleaning, rinsing with clean water.
CAUTION
Do not use jets of water to clean panels as they
may penetrate into the spa technical compartment
and cause damage to the electrical system.
I MAINTENANCE OF WOOD PARTS
The covering panels and the accessories of Jacuzzi® spas are
made of natural wood treated with advanced products which
enhance the natural beauty and ensure protection against at-
mospheric agents.
The panels and accessories first receive a coat of stain, to
give the wood an even shade. Then two coats of synthetic oil
are applied, which give the piece a natural and particularly
warm appearance.
Cleaning
Maintenance varies according to the location of the spa and/or
accessories (sheltered from or exposed to the elements).
In any case, you should periodically wash the surfaces with fresh
water and neutral detergent. Then rinse.
Do not use detergents that contain alcohol, scale-removal sub-
stances, ammonia, abrasive products or bleach.
Do not use wax or polish.
Renewal
At least once a year (or less, depending on the conditions the
wood surfaces are exposed to), do the following:
- Lightly sand the surface with an abrasive sponge (or sandpaper,
grain 320). Do not press too hard, especially near protruding parts
(corners and so on).
- Remove all dust. Use a soft-bristled brush to apply a layer of synthetic
oil, first crosswise and then along the entire height of the panel.
Do not work in direct sunlight, nor if the temperature is especially
cold.
- If necessary, remove any excess oil using a microfiber cloth. Let
dry for about an hour (at 20°C).
Note: tools can be washed with turpentine for subsequent reuse.
Special maintenance
If more extensive restoration is require (for example, if the
protective layer has been damaged in depth), you should thor-
oughly sand the entre surface all the way down to the bare
wood. Apply a coat of stain if there are marked differences in
shades.
Then apply two to three coats of synthetic oil as necessary, fol-
lowing the same method described for the renewal phase.
Note: make sure that, between one coat and the nest, the
product has dried completely. This normally takes 1 to 2 hours
at an ambient temperature of about 20 °C).
For all special maintenance, it is advisable to contact specialized
personnel.
ATTENTION: sanding residue, tools and rags used to
apply the product may self-ignite if exposed to the air.
Keep the recipients (immerged in water) in tightly
closed metallic containers and dispose of them imme-
diately. Comply with current applicable regulations.
I MAINTENANCE OF CARTRIDGE FILTERS
The filters in the skimmer must be periodically cleaned, ac-
cording to the amount of use the spa is subject to, and replaced
when necessary, when they show signs of deterioration. The
cartridges are available from Jacuzzi
Service Centres.
• Check the skimmer at least once a week to remove any sedi-
ment such as leaves, hair, etc.
• Periodically check the filters. With normal use of the spa, it is
advisable to clean the filters at least once a week. If necessary,
the filters should be cleaned, because clogged filters cannot
keep the water clean. They also compromise proper operation
of the system.
• To clean the filters, remove the skimmer cover, unscrew the fil-
ter baskets and take them out.
