4. Clean the interior of the spa of any remaining con-

struction debris.  Remove stubborn stains, paint, or
tar with turpentine, isopropyl alcohol or paint thinner.
A mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth
is fine for cleaning off other dirt.  Plaster can be
removed by scraping with a soft plastic or wooden
edge.  Do not use a metal scraper, wire brush, or other
metal tools, as they will damage the spa’s surface.

the system as stated below.

JETS button twice for maximum jet action.

• Add 1/2 cup sodium dichlor (a fast dissolving

spa completely.

CAUTION:  Leave the optional cover OFF the
spa during this procedure.  DO NOT use the
