CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Depending upon your choice of a natural cedar or
DuraWood™ exterior, there are several routine
maintenance steps you should follow.
Wood Exterior:
The wood exterior has been treated with a water-
based wood preservative at the factory. It is
suggested that the exterior be treated every six
months with an additional coat of preservative for
maximum weather protection. Your Dealer can
suggest the best preservative for your environment
and also provide the Super Deck Wood Care Kit.
DuraWood™ Exterior:
This low maintenance exterior material is optional with the Luxury Package. Wipe
down DuraWood
™
exterior with a soft sponge, cloth, Scumbug Duramitt #6875, or
Tub Scrubber #6000 and mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol diluted 1:1 with
water may be used on stubborn marks. DO NOT USE ACETONE as it may
damage the surface.
DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA
It is recommended that you completely drain your spa every three months. A
Maintenance Reminder will appear as CH to remind you to change water. More
frequent draining may be required depending on use. If the water is not changed
regularly, the water becomes chemically “saturated” and won’t respond to regular
chemical additions.
The spa should also be drained before long periods of disuse. An empty spa should be
covered; direct sunlight on the spa surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and
can result in the voiding of any surface warranties. The Marquis Drain and Clean Kit
#2445 includes every-thing necessary for a thorough draining regime. To drain the spa
for cleaning or servicing, follow the steps below:
Hose Bib Drain
1.Turn off the power to the spa. Use Swirl Away Plumbing
Cleaner just prior to draining to rid the spa of any
buildup from oils, lotions, etc. in the plumbing lines
and jets.
2.Attach a garden hose to the hose bib in the spa’s
equipment area.
3.Open the hose bib by turning the lever counterclockwise.
Gravity will cause the water to drain from hose.
4.When the spa is empty, close the hose bib and remove the hose. Keep the hose
bib open for long periods of disuse.
5.Fill your spa with fresh water from a garden hose and add the necessary
chemicals. It is necessary to Shock the water after each refill before using your
spa. Follow the procedures outlined in STARTING YOUR SPA.
