Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Cleaning: Clean the walls, roof panels, and frame of the enclosure using a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for the materials of the enclosure, such as polycarbonate or metal.
-
Inspect for Structural Damage: Periodically check the frame and supports for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Tighten any loose bolts or screws and replace any components showing significant deterioration to maintain the enclosure’s integrity and stability.
-
Roof Panel Care: Clean roof panels regularly to prevent the accumulation of dirt, leaves, or debris that could obstruct light or airflow. Check the panels for cracks or damage and replace any broken panels to preserve the enclosure's function and protection.
-
Lubricate Moving Parts: If the enclosure includes sliding doors or movable panels, ensure the tracks, wheels, and hinges are clean and lubricated. Remove any debris from tracks to maintain smooth operation and prevent jams or blockages.
-
Weather Seals Inspection: Check the weather seals around doors, windows, and joints for wear, brittleness, or damage. Replace any damaged seals to maintain proper insulation and to prevent drafts or water leaks.
-
Frame Protection: For metal frames, clean regularly and apply a protective coating or wax to prevent rust and corrosion. If the frame is made of wood, treat and reseal it periodically to ensure longevity and to protect it from moisture damage.
-
Clear the Area Around the Enclosure: Keep the space around the enclosure free of debris like leaves, branches, and other objects that could obstruct ventilation or damage the structure. Regularly clearing the area will prevent buildup that may affect the enclosure’s performance.
-
Pest Prevention: Periodically inspect the enclosure for signs of pests such as rodents or insects. Address any pest problems promptly to prevent damage to both the enclosure and your swim spa.
-
Winterizing: In colder climates, winterize your swim spa enclosure by securing all doors, removing or covering panels, and ensuring that the structure is protected from snow or ice buildup. This helps to prevent weather-related damage during harsh winters.
-
Swim Spa Equipment Maintenance: While maintaining the enclosure, ensure the swim spa itself is properly maintained. Regularly check the spa’s equipment (pumps, heaters, filters) and water quality to ensure everything is functioning properly and is protected from the elements by the enclosure.
