LEATHER TEX®
The exterior of the tub, lid, Hydromate, and vinyl hose cover are made
of Leather Tex which is a marine grade vinyl specifically formulated to
resist mildew, cracking and discoloration when properly maintained.
A. Cleaning
Use Softub Vinyl Cleaner per the instructions on the bottle. Avoid
abrasive soaps, tools or any other solvents. Improper use of
unapproved cleaning products may void the warranty.
Use of vinyl protectants, such as those commonly found in auto parts
stores can accelerate the aging of your tub, causing cracks in the vinyl
that are not covered under warranty. The only vinyl protectant
approved for use on your Softub is Softub Vinyl Protectant, available
from your Softub dealer or Local Service Center.
B. Solar Exposure
If your Softub is located outdoors, we recommend the use of the Softub
Protective Cover (available from your dealer). This will protect the
Softub from direct ultra-violet (UV) exposure, help keep rain water out
of the tub, and keep the surface clean. If you are placing a dark color
Softub spa in direct sunlight, the use of a Softub Protective Cover is
recommended. Never cover your Softub with a transparent plastic
covering of any sort for it will damage the spa. Reflected sunlight can
damage your Softub. Do not locate your Softub next to windows or
other surfaces that may reflect or magnify sunlight onto the vinyl
surfaces of your Softub.
C. Repair
If you notice a tear in your exterior Leather Tex, contact your Local
Servicing Dealer or Softub Technical Support at 1-800-711-5382.
FILTER CLEANING
Clean your filter at least once a month. The Filter must be removed
while the spa is at operating temperature. To remove the filter: gently
wiggle and pull the filter from side-to-side until it is free exposing the
gray suction cover it is mounted to on the tub wall. Remove the filter
sock from the filter and clean the filter according to the directions on the
Softcare Filter Renu bottle. Reinstall the filter sock and place the filter in
warm water for several minutes for easy installation. Orient the filter so
the gap in the collar that fits over the gray suction cover is facing either
side but not up or down. Then, slide the filter onto either of the gray
suction covers. Do not attempt to remove or install the filter unless the
spa is at operating temperature (filter and suction cover are warm). To
assure proper operation the filter should be replaced at least once a
year.
