    mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain surfaces and or surroundings. • SUFFICIENT ACCESS: In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire spa.
