Care Of The Spa Cover - HotSpring LANDMARK Owner's Manual

DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. NEVER
USE HARSH CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals is not covered under the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Some surface cleaners contain eye and skin irritants. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use
care when applying.
REDWOOD SPA SKIRT
®
The spa skirt on the Prodigy and Jetsetter
process of the spa, the redwood skirt is sealed with a lightly tinted stain for protection and to enhance its beauty. As with all
wood products, prolonged exposure to outdoor weather conditions will cause the redwood skirt to discolor or dry out. The
™
Hot Spring Stain Kit has been specially developed to include everything you'll need to refurbish and rejuvenate the redwood
spa skirt. Do not use wood sealers or wood furniture-type oils (that is tung, teak or lemon) to seal the skirt as they will cause
the redwood to blacken. Discoloration or aging of the redwood skirt is considered natural and is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE: Always test a small area (that is 1 or 2 vertical corner boards) of your spa skirt for stain and wood compatibility if
applying a non-recommended stain.

The Grandee , Landmark and Sovereign
combines the durability of plastic with the beauty of redwood. Everwood
prolonged exposure to the elements.
®
Cleaning of Everwood consists of simply spraying the skirt with a mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and
residue.

Do not rub the Everwood with an abrasive material or use abrasive cleaners as this may damage its texture.

CARE OF THE SPA COVER

WARNING: The cover is a manual safety cover that meets or exceeds all prevailing requirements of ASTM Standards for spa
safety covers when installed and used correctly as of the date of manufacture. Non-secured or improperly secured covers are
a hazard. Open the cover to its fully open position before use.
VINYL COVER
The vinyl spa cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product. Monthly cleaning and conditioning are recommended to
maintain its beauty.
To clean and condition the vinyl cover:
1. Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it against a wall or fence.
2. With a garden hose, spray the cover to loosen and rinse away dirt or debris.
3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with
2 gallons of water) or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. Do not let the vinyl dry
with a soap film on it before it can be rinsed clean.
IMPORTANT: To avoid soap getting into the spa water or baking soda getting on the redwood skirt (which may cause
black spots or streaks on the redwood), the spa cover should not be on the spa during cleaning.
4. Scrub the cover's perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean.
5. Rinse off the bottom of the cover (use no soap), and wipe it clean with a dry rag.
6. To condition the cover after cleaning, apply a thin film of Hot Spring
luster.
SERVICE NOTE: To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and buff with
saddle soap immediately afterwards, then wipe dry.
Important reminders:
• DO remove snow buildup to avoid breakage of the foam core.
• DO lock cover straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use.
• DO NOT drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps or the coverlock straps.
• DO NOT walk, stand, or sit on the cover.
• DO NOT place any hot items or objects that will magnify or conduct heat on the cover; foam core damage may
result.
• DO NOT use any chemicals or cleaners except those recommended by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation or its
Authorized Sales and Service Dealer.
