CARE OF THE EXTERIOR
SPA SHELL
Your Caldera
®
spa has a granite like or smooth acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. A soft rag should easily remove most dirt. Most
household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. Always use a soft, non-abrasive solution (such as a baking soda and water mix). Never use cleansers with harsh
chemicals or acids, such as citrus, alcohol, or ammonia. Damage to your spa shell can occur. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
SERVICE NOTES:
Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Your Caldera Dealer can recommend a stain and scale inhibitor to use if your spa water
has a high concentration of dissolved minerals.
The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing
abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by the use of harsh chemicals is not covered
under the warranty.

CARE OF THE SPA COVER
WARNING: The cover is a manual safety cover that meets or exceeds all prevailing requirements of ASTM Standards for spa safety covers when installed and used
correctly as of the date of manufacture. Non-secured or improperly secured covers are a hazard. Open the cover to its fully open position before use.
VINYL COVER
The vinyl spa cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product. Monthly cleaning and conditioning are recommended to maintain its beauty.
TO CLEAN AND CONDITION THE VINYL COVER:
SERVICE NOTE: To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and rinse with a saddle soap solution immediately afterwards,
then wipe dry.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
DO• remove snow buildup to avoid breakage of the foam core from the additional weight of the snow.
DO• lock cover lock straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use.
DO NOT• drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps or the cover lock straps.
DO NOT• walk, stand, or sit on the cover.
DO NOT• place any metal or heat transferring object on the cover or place any type of plastic tarp or drop cloth over the cover as this may result in a melted foam
core, which would not be covered under the warranty.
DO NOT• use any lifting mechanisms, chemicals or cleaners except those recommended by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation or its Authorized Sales and Service
Dealer.
