Cleaning Your Tidalfit Interior; Cover Care - TidalFit EP-12 Owner's Manual

MAINTAINING YOUR TIDALFIT
TIDALFIT CABINET CARE
NOTE: Do not apply any solid type finish such as shellac or varnish.
After weathering, these types of finishes will crack and/or turn yellow. To
refinish the wood, you will need to completely strip the finish before ap-
plying the new one. Use only the stain recommended by your dealer for
refinishing your pool.

CLEANING YOUR TIDALFIT INTERIOR

It is important to clean the interior of your pool every time it is drained to
help preserve the sheen of your pool's surface. However, it is important
that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals. Your au-
thorized dealer will be able to supply you with the proper solution for your
pool. After cleaning, make sure all residues are removed prior to filling
the pool. This will help prevent sudsing and improper chemical balance.

COVER CARE

Cleaning of your pool cover is an important part of routine maintenance.
Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat, and can also cause wear
to folds, seams, and stitching. Mildew growing on damp, dirty vinyl will
begin to actually root in the fabric, accelerating failure. Follow this simple
routine for cleaning, prior to application of vinyl protectant:
1) Rinse with cool water using a garden hose.
2) Spray with a gentle, non-foaming cleaner and wipe clean. Never use
laundry detergent, abrasives, alcohols, dish soaps or harsh cleaners.
These can actually remove some of the topcoat and cause premature
vinyl failure.
3) For stubborn dirt, use a non-abrasive sponge.
4) Rinse again thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
5) Repeat monthly, or as needed.
Your vinyl cover is affected by the UV in sunlight. Periodic treatment with
a liquid protectant will extend the life of your pool cover. The wrong kind
of protectant can be more harmful then no protectant at all. Keep any
product away from your pool that is labeled "flammable," that contains
any type of oil, or that leaves a waxy coating on your cover.
Never stand or sit on the cover and never drag it over abrasive surfaces.
Lift cover only by the handles provided.
