Hotspring spas

Care of the Exterior

Spa Shell

Your Hot Spring spa has an Endurol® thermoplastic shell, or a granite-like shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa's surface. Cleaning of the surface should be done with a non-abrasive, non-sudsing cleanser. Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be used for minor surface cleaning. A soft rag or a nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent.

SERVICE NOTES:
› Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. we stock a stain and scale inhibitor to use if your spa water has a high concentration of dissolved minerals.
› A spa shine can be used after surface cleaning to shine the spa shell.
› Do not use any cleaners on the spa pillows.

› The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals is not covered under the warranty.

Redwood Spa Skirt

Everwood® Spa Skirt
During the manufacturing 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 dry out. A good quality, natural color, wood stain should be applied to the redwood skirt twice a year or as needed to keep the skirt looking new. Do not use wood sealers or wood furniture-type oils (that us 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 warranty.

We carry the original factory finish stain that Watkins Manufacturing uses in production.
Everwood® skirted models have skirts consisting of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic with the beauty of redwood. Everwood® won't crack, peel, blister or delaminate even after prolonged exposure to the elements.

Cleaning of Everwood® consists of simply spraying the skirt with mild soap and water solution to remove any stains or residue.

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