CARE OF THE SPA PIllOWS
The pillows used in your Hot Spring
®
spa will continue to provide comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the water level to
minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water, and other spa water chemicals. To extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned,
the spa pillows should be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows
thoroughly to remove any soap residue. The pillows can be conditioned with Hot Spring Cover Shield after cleaning. If the spa is not going to be
used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation, or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa pillows
should be removed until the next spa use. Periodic replacement of the spa pillows will be necessary in order to maintain the new look of your spa.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE SPA PILLOWS:
1. Carefully pull and lift on one end of pillow to stretch pillow (longer) until the pillow is released from the plastic retainer. Once one end is
released, push pillow in opposite direction to remove from other retainer.
2. Align pillow.
3. Slide one end of pillow onto the spa retainer.

EVERWOOd
®
SPA CAbINET
Hot Spring spas include an Everwood spa cabinet. Everwood consists of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic, with the beauty of
wood.Everwoodwon’tcrack,peel,blister,ordelaminateevenafterprolongedexposuretotheelements.
Cleaning of Everwood consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and water solution to remove any stains and residue.
Do not rub the Everwood with an abrasive material or use abrasive cleaners, as this may damage its texture.
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends touch-up or restaining of the Everwood every three to four years (this will vary according to the
environment). Contact your local dealer for restaining procedures and recommended stains.
