MISCELLANEOUS CARE
Cleaning and Protecting the Headrest
Clean on a regular basis with soap, water, and use a clean cloth. Use Armorall® Protectant or its
equivalent once per month. This will maintain water resistance and luster of the product.
Vacuum the Spa
Debris from wind, trees, and users will occasionally accumulate on the bottom of the spa. The filtration
system will remove the smaller debris however debris that is too large or heavy will have to be removed
by a spa vacuum. If you do not have a spa vacuum, contact your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa
dealer.
Cleaning the Scum line
Oils, lotions, and hairspray will build up on the water surface, sometimes leaving a scum line around the
perimeter. This scum line can easily be removed with a spa Surface Cleaner or its equivalent. Contact
your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa dealer for product. Note: Avoid using cleaning agents that will
leave suds in the water.
LOW USE OR NO USE PERIODS
Certain times of the year, you may not use the spa as often as expected. For these low or no use
periods, we recommend the following:
Low Use
If the spa is being used less than once per month, we recommend lowering the temperature by 5 -10°F or
place in Economy mode. Lowering the temperature will cut the cost of operation however; you will need
to adjust the temperature setting 15 minutes before each use in order to heat the spa accordingly.
1 to 2 Weeks without Use
We recommend that you do not make any changes. Reducing the water temperature for short periods
has proven to increase heating costs.
2 to 6 Weeks without Use
We recommend that you lower the temperature to 80°F.
Over 6 Weeks without Use
We recommend that the spa be winterized. To winterize follow these steps:
1. Drain the water.
2. Remove the drain plug from the pump(s), loosen all PVC pipe unions, and pump air bleed valves in
the equipment compartment.
3. Clean the entire spa.
4. Remove filter cartridge(s) and clean. Allow filter to dry fully and store in a dry place.
5. Secure cover.
Note: During periods of No Use, we recommend testing and chemically treating the water once per week.
Not doing so may lead to corrosion, staining, and/or scaling to the spa and its equipment. If the water
cannot be treated, we recommend winterization.
SPA DE-WINTERIZATION
To de-winterize the spa reverse the above procedure. Refill to the water level mark.
