How do I maintain the cover of my hot tub?

How to maintain your thermo cover

Clean the cover regularly

Clean your thermo cover at least once a month with lukewarm water and a mild liquid detergent. Optionally, use a soft brush to gently remove dirt.

Do not use:

• Abrasive cleaning products
• Hard brushes
• Chlorine-containing cleaner
• Alcohol
• Oil-based products
• Products with silicone

After cleaning, rinse the cover thoroughly and let it dry completely before you use it again.

‍

Prevent moisture and mold

Let the cover ventilate regularly

After using your hot tub, it's important to give moisture the chance to evaporate. Therefore, leave the thermo cover open regularly or temporarily remove it from the hot tub.

When the cover remains fully closed for a long time, moisture can accumulate. This can lead to:

• Mold formation
• Unpleasant smells
• Material damage

Damage due to insufficient ventilation or misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Check seams and openings

Check the seams and openings on the inside of the cover regularly and remove any accumulated moisture. This is how you help prevent mold from forming.

‍

Seasonal maintenance

Remove snow, ice and leaves

Check the cover regularly for leaves, snow, ice and other dirt. Especially a thick layer of ice or snow can deform the foam core of the cover.

Note: Never stand on the thermo cover to remove snow or ice.

‍

Let the foam parts dry annually

We recommend removing the EPS polystyrene parts from the cover at least once a year, turning them over and letting them dry in the sunlight (EPS polystyrene does not withstand prolonged exposure to UV rays, so don't leave it for too long).

‍

How to use the thermo cover properly

Gently lift and move the cover

• Do not pull the cover with excessive force.
• Never lift the cover when there is something on it.
• Never drag the cover on the ground. This can cause cracks and wear.

‍

Only use the handles for their intended purpose

The handles are for opening and closing the cover only. Do not use them to wear the full cover.

‍

Be careful with chemicals

Have you added water treatment products to the water? Then leave the hot tub open for at least one hour before replacing the thermo cover. Then, of course, you can simply put the cover back on.

‍

Warranty on your thermo cover

Your car comes with a 2-year warranty as standard. This warranty applies to the original purchaser and covers manufacturing and material defects.

In some cases, we ask you to return the thermo cover for inspection. When the warranty applies, we choose to repair or replace the cover.

The warranty does not apply to damage due to misuse or insufficient maintenance. This includes:

• Damage due to excessive use of chlorine or incorrect care products
• Cracks, wear or damage caused by drags or sharp objects
• Damage caused by sitting, walking or jumping on the cover
• Damaged handles due to improper use
• Repairs or adjustments not made by us
• Damage due to external influences such as animals, fire, water, lightning or other environmental factors

Damage that occurs because the user and maintenance instructions have not been followed is not covered by Welvaere's warranty.
