Maintenance and Use Instructions
Spa and hot tub covers are designed for specific
use. Covers are not designed to tear, rip or be abuse proof.
Caution must be used in handling and using the cover in
order to maintain its durability and function. The maintenance
and use instructions are provided to prevent damage to the
cover. Damage caused by failure to follow the maintenance
and use instructions will not be covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.
- Caution -
Failure to follow instructions
may result in injury or drowning.
Do not stand, sit or lie on,
or permit any heavy weight to rest on cover.
- RAIN WATER, SNOW AND OTHER WEIGHT: Weight on the cover
may cause the edges on the cover to curl, or progressively
warp and bow the cover. To avoid this keep all weight
bearing objects off the cover. Water and snow must be
swept off or kept from accumulating or puddling on the
cover. Should puddling occur, unzip the vinyl and turn
the foam over.
- FADING AND DISCOLORATION: Fading and discoloration
will occur with extended exposure to the sun.
- CLEANING AND VINYL CARE: Keep the cover clean. As often
as is necessary wash with mild soap and rinse with clean
potable water. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, PETROLEUM, ABRASIVE
CLEANERS OR STRONG DETERGENTS. (i.e. 409, Fantastik, etc.)
All vinyls contain plasticizers which must be maintained
in the material to prevent drying out, cracking flaking
and deterioration. These plasticizers migrate out and
escape naturally through time. Sun and cold speed up this
process. Applications of vinyl cleaner & conditioner may
retard this type of deterioration if not used more frequently
than every six months. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN
SILICONE OR ALCOHOL.
- CHEMICALS: The vinyls and thread are marine treated,
but will deteriorate quicker when exposed to high levels
of chlorine, bromine, ozone or other active chemicals.
At the time chemicals are added, remove the cover completely
and place it far enough away so splashing cannot inadvertently
reach the cover. Chemicals should be added frequently
at low levels instead of infrequently at high levels.
- CARE OF SEWING HOLES AND THREAD: The sewing holes and
thread are the greatest potential weakness in a cover.
Vinyls are soft leather-like materials which the thread
can cut if the cover is roughly handled. This is especially
true when the vinyl has been exposed to hot sun. The handles
and tie-downs are double reinforced with thick rip-stop
polyester webbing, however mistreatment by sudden jerking
motions can damage them. Stretching or pulling one half
against the other may rip the cover at the thread holes.
To prevent damage, any handling of the cover should be
done in a gentle manner. For this, we recommend the use
of a Cover Lifter.
- FLOATING BLANKET: The use of a floating blanket is
not a requirement for warranty performance. However, it
can increase the life and efficiency of your cover. A
floating blanket can also provide better overall system
insulation value. At SPP we offer the "The Floating Blanket"
Thermal Foam Cover.
- INSTALLATION OF FASTENERS: Position tie-down strap
so it is fully extended, without stretching. Locate end
of male fitting on strap and attach fastener over that
location. This prevents wind from lifting the cover off
the tub or spa.
NEVER leave a uncovered Hot
Tub Or Spa unattended!
NEVER leave a covered Hot
Tub or Spa unlocked!
