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 sup-
ported by a substantial thickness of fiberglass-rein-
forced polyester resin. A catalyst causes a chemical

Two filters , one blue and one red, are provided with
each spa light. To change the filter, simply snap the
colored filters in place on top of the normal lens. Two
replacement bulbs are also included. Put them in a safe
place for future use. When a bulb burns out, replace it
from the back of the light fitting on the rear surface of the
shell by pulling out the bulb receptacle.
MAINTENANCE
reaction during manufacture that bonds these layers
permanently into a hard, strong material. With a mini-
mum amount of care and cleaning, your whirlpool spa
will look new for years.
To clean your spa, simply use a mild, nonabrasive
liquid detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or commercially pre-
pared 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 the water line is heavily soiled, it may be
advisable to lower the water level 2-3 inches before
cleaning; then refill to normal level.
Covering Your Spa
An optional spa cover for your spa is available from
your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer. Use of this cover will
help to reduce energy costs by minimizing heat loss and
evaporation. In addition, the attractive cover is an
effective means of preventing debris such as leaves and
dirt from entering your spa when not in use. Follow the
instructions for use and care provided with the spa
cover.
CAUTION: The spa cover is not designed to support
any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution and
to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit,
stand, or lie on it; nor should you place objects of
any kind on top of it.
NOTE: Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not guarantee
or warrant this cover. Refer to spa cover
manufacturer's information provided with the cover.
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.
Headrest Pillows
Clean the pillows regularly with soap and water and
a clean cloth. Use ARMORALL
®
or similar protective
cleaning agent once a month to maintain the water
resistance and lustrous finish. They are held in place by
snap-in fittings and can easily be removed for cleaning.
Factory Installed Redwood Skirt
Your spa is supplied with factory-installed redwood
skirt panels which completely surround the spa. The
skirt panels can be removed for service.
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 appropriate product.
NOTE: We recommend a water based material. Oil
or solvent based finishing materials will degrade the
skirt backing material.
If it becomes necessary to remove one or more of
the skirt panels for 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 reattached to the spa by revers-
ing the above procedure.
NOTE: When you remove the skirt, you will notice
thermal wrap insulation. This insulation is designed
to be removed when service is required and rein-
stalled when service has been completed.
