Step 4: Using a garden hose with a nozzle or other high-
pressure device, clean cartridge(s). Work rst from the inside, top
to bottom on each pleat then from the outside, top to bottom on
each pleat.

warm water with a lter cleaner or detergent.

container using a 1:10 ratio of muriatic acid to water
solution. Calcium deposits indicate a high spa pH, which
should be corrected.

degreaser before attempting to remove calcium and mineral
deposits with any acidic based product

Spa Surface Care
IMPORTANT: Your spa cover is an essential part of the
spa system in order to protect spa surfaces, ensure safety, and to
provide the highest possible eciency. Ensure the cover is in
place at all times except during spa use.
General Cleaning
For normal cleaning, use a mild dishwashing soap, window
cleaner, or other products recommended by your local authorized
Bullfrog Spas Dealer. For stubborn stains, use a mild acrylic
cleaner or a mild detergent. To apply these cleaners, use a soft,
damp cloth or sponge. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. To
clean hard water stains, remove light scratches and protect your
spa shell, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer.
Cleaning a Surface Buildup Line
With normal use of the spa, oils, lotions, and hair products can
build up on the surface of the water in small amounts. is could
leave a line around the perimeter. is buildup can be easily
removed using a spa surface cleaner or its equivalent. Avoid using
cleaning agents that leave soap residue in the water.
WARNING: Never allow your spa surface to be exposed to
alcohol, acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish, dry cleaning
solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, abrasive cleaners,
or any other household chemicals other than those listed. ese
chemicals void the warranty.
Special Care For R Series Injection
Molded JetPaks
High levels of sanitizer and normal use over time can have a
bleaching eect on the injection molded (dark gray) Jetpaks.
ese can be cleaned / bued to look like new again with the
aid of automotive polishing compound found at any automotive
retailer. Simply use a soft towel to rub this compound onto the
plastic. en bu with a dry towel.
JetPak Plumbing Care
For optimum spa care, each time the spa water is changed,
remove all JetPaks. Clean the back manifold area on with a spa
surface cleaner and a long, soft bristle brush. For cleaning the
JetPak acrylic surface, refer to Spa Shell Care

Spa Cover Care
WARNING: A non-secured, improperly secured, or damaged
cover may pose a safety threat to children and may also cause
damage or injury if blown o by wind. Always remove entire
cover before using the spa.
IMPORTANT: Do not stand, sit, or place any item on the
cover that could damage it. Gently remove any snow accumulations
over 2 inches (5cm). Always secure the cover with all of the cover
locks when not in use, whether the spa is empty or full of water.
Cleaning the Spa Cover
At least monthly, clean the spa cover.
Step 1: Use a garden hose to spray entire cover down with water.
Step 2: Rinse all traces of dirt, sand, and debris from cover.
Step 3: Try not to touch cover or rub anything on it while it is
wet.
Step 4: Let cover air dry.
Step 5: Make sure the cover clips are secured.
NOTE: If water doesn’t bead on cover when spraying with
water and cover looks darker in some areas, use an outdoor fabric
protectant (never petroleum based) to condition the area per your
Bullfrog Spas Dealer’s instructions.
NOTE: If more thorough cleaning is required, add 2 ounces of
mild soap to 1 gallon of warm water. Clean the cover fabric with a
soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and air dry. Use an
