Acrylic:
The vessel surface or finish of most manufactures is acrylic which comes in sheets like plexiglass. This sheet is heated to make the acrylic pliable and is then vacuum formed to a prototype vessel, allowed to cool and removed for fiber glassing the back side along with blocking and supports. Then it's off to the pipe works department. |
The most important part of cleaning Spas
and Hot Tubs is to thoroughly remove all
cleaning solutions from the surface by rinsing
with water and extracting with a wet/dry vacuum
and repeating if necessary. The cleaners used
are not meant to be part of your water chemistry
when the vessel is filled for use and will
significantly alter test readings and balancing
procedures.
Before using C ommercial C leaners try: Vinegar and Water
Never use window cleaner, acetone or ammonia based products on acrylic. Do not use automotive type waxes on spa or hot tub finishes below the water level, water chemistry sanitizers used for maintenance will strip them off . |
