Insulation cover The cover is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Avoid vinyl conditioners that contain silicon or oils or that are waxy, as they are very harmful to vinyl. To avoid damaging the leather insulation cover, do not use sharp objects to remove extra weight. Regular cleaning with mild household all-purpose cleaners lengthens the pool’s service life and maintains the cover’s general appearance.

A Drop pool can be filled with approx. 1,500 liters of water. The amount of water filld also depends on how many people bathe at the same time. Pool care and cleaning are easy and effortless. Chlorine or some other water treatment chemical must always be added into the pool after bathing, or at least once per week, even when no one has bathed in the pool. The condition of the water largely depends on how frequently the pool is used, what season it is (in the summer, the water must be disinfected more often), what temperature the water is kept at and what the general water quality is (whether the pool is located in a city or a rural area or whether it is filled with lake water). It is...

You can clean and reuse the filter. To achieve the best result, replace the filter whenever you replace the water. You can use two filters in turns. When one is being cleaned, the other is ready for use. The fabric filter recovers small debris from the water. The fabric filter of an outdoor hot tub might get blocked by lime particles from hard water, which makes the flow of water weaker. In order to prolong the useful life of the fabric filter and improve its performance, rinse the filter under running water 2–4 times a month. The filtering system of an outdoor hot tub is fully automated. Cleaning a filter 1. Remove the fabric filter from the tub. 2. Fill a bucket with water and let the filter to soak for at least three hours. 3. Rinse the filter with clean water. 4. Let the filter dry. 5. This ensures the filter is always clean and ready for use.
