MAINTENANCE
The product lifetime depends on the time you spend
for the care and maintenance of the cover.
WINTERIZING
If you plan on winterizing your swim spa during the
cold season, Covana recommends winterizing the
cover as well. This process prevents any potential
damage to the cover and minimizes the risk of
freezing water damage to the spa. Please follow
these instructions:
WARNING
These instructions are relevant for anyone who
plans to stop using the spa for a long period of time
or especially if the temperature goes below the
freezing point.
1.
Clean the cover completely to remove any
dust, greasy residue or any other dirt from all
surfaces.
2.
Prepare the spa for closure by following the
spa manufacturer's winterization instructions.
3.
Completely close the cover on the spa. Make
sure the seal touches the whole perimeter of
the spa.
4.
Make sure the escape hatch is properly
seated on the cover and is closed and locked.
5.
Shut off the power of the cover. This can be
done by either shutting off and securing the
circuit breaker powering the cover.
6.
Install a waterproof canvas over the cover.
Make sure to follow the spa manufacturer's
guidelines during this step.
7.
Install a waterproof and watertight protection
canvas over the operator.
WARNING
Using any type of fabric or plastic canvas to cover
the Covana cover during hot weather may damage
the components. Only use such protection for the
winterization procedure and during the cold
season.
Remove any type of cover or plastic canvas as
soon as seasonal temperatures are higher than the
freezing point.
8.
For regions with a long seasonal snowfall,
remove excessive snow accumulation
regularly or after a heavy snowfall to avoid
damage to the structure of the cover. Do not
let more than 12 in. (30 cm) of snow
accumulate on the cover.
WASHING THE COVER
Washing the cover is an essential part to maintain
and keep it in the best running conditions. Clean your
cover as needed or when dirt, debris or leaves are
present. We also recommend cleaning your cover
before and after winterization.
