CARE OF THE SPA PIllOWS

The spa pillows will provide years of 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. 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 use of the spa.

To remove and replace the spa pillows:

1. carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.
2. continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the pillow.

ImpoRtaNt

: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under

warranty.

3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back of the pillow.

4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.

5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell.

CARE OF THE SPA SHEll
