Factory Installed Redwood Skirt
Your Alexa spa is supplied with a factory-installed
redwood skirt which completely surrounds the spa. The
door can be opened for routine maintenance, setting the
timer, and for testing the GFCI before use.
The skirt is made of kiln-dried redwood and can be left
natural to weather, or you may choose to apply a stain or
clear finish. Consult your local paint dealer for the appro-
priate product. NOTE: WE RECOMMEND A WATER
BASED MATERIAL. OIL OR SOLVENT BASED FINISH-
ING MATERIALS WILL DEGRADE THE SKIRT BACKING
MATERIAL.
If it becomes necessary to remove one or more of the
skirt panels for major service access, simply remove the
screws with which the section is secured.
To detach any of the panels, first remove all screws from
the panel being detached.
The panels can be re-attached to the spa by reversing
the above procedure.

Cleaning Your Spa

Your spa shell consists of two layers of plastic materials.
Its smooth top surface of acrylic is tough and durable and
contains concentrated color. This is supported by a sub-
stantial 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 whirlpool spa will look new for years.
To clean your spa, simply use a mild, non-abrasive liquid
detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or commercially prepared
spa cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. You can
protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying
Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze, which is a product specifically
designed for use on acrylic finishes. If Meguiar's is not
available, an acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive
paste wax will do.
Use a spa cleaner for residue buildup at the water level
of the spa 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 spa water. If
heavily soiled, it may be advisable to lower the water level
2 - 3 inches before cleaning, then refill to normal level.

Repairs to the Acrylic

Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish
(acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper.
Restore the glossy finish with Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze
or comparable automotive paste wax.
Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the acrylic
surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath dealer for special instructions.
