Cleaning the Filter
Use a nonabrasive household cleaner to clean all spa shell surfaces and fixtures. Do not use scouring
cleansers or solvents; damage to the acrylic finish will result.
Your Emerald Whirlpool Spa is manufactured using LUCITE XL 1000 continuous-cast cross-linked acrylic
sheet. This material provides a strong chemical-resistant high gloss surface that is hard, nonporous, and
impermeable to water.
Given proper care, the polished, lustrous surface of LUCITE XL 1000 sheet will retain its appearance for
many years. To clean your spa be sure to use a soft absorbent cloth with any of the commercially available
nonabrasive foam or liquid agents in general cleaning concentrations. Always rinse thoroughly with clean
water and a soft chamois or moist cellulose sponge.
Cleaning agents containing strong abrasives such as scouring powders or strong solvents such as gasoline,
acetone, or denatured alcohol should not be used to clean the acrylic surface of your spa.
Fine scratches may be minimized by the use of a mild automobile cleaner-polish. The cleaner-polish has a
fine abrasive action, and its wax content tends to fill small scratches to make them less visible.
