Caring for your Pinz Spa Cover

A few simple maintenance tips will keep your cover looking good and will extend its life many times over.

  1. Be careful of sharp objects and rough surfaces, when moving your spa cover.
  2. Clean your cover regularly with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Give the spa cover a quick sponging over paying attention to the stitching and then rinse off with a hose. Why not do this after finishing the car!
  3. We recommend 303 Vinyl Protectant to protect and beautify your spa cover. Do not use petroleum or silicone based vinyl treatments.
  4. Remove the spa cover when shocking the spa with chemicals, and leave off for an hour or two. Hot water and strong chemicals can speed up discolouration of your spa cover.
  5. Do not sit, stand or walk on your spa cover, try to avoid pets sleeping on your spa cover or kids jumping on it.
    The core of your spa cover is made of styrene foam and will break if stressed. The foam core is also reasonably easy to dent. Misuse will make your spa cover far from attractive in a short time.
    Loading of the spa cover will cause the foam to bend. This may allow water to pond on your spa cover and the core to take on water and get heavier. If ponding occurs, unzip your spa cover and turn the foam over.
    Higher density foam inserts such as are found in the Cover Superior and Superior Plus covers by Pinz provide you with greater strength and durability in each foam insert.
    Make sure not to exceed the maximum recommended static load, keeping in mind that an object (child, pet etc.) falling or jumping will be much heavier than their static weight.
    Use the maximum static load details as a guide, however keep in mind that the foam insert is designed to hold these weights over the whole spa of the foam, rather than in one concentrated point.  A heavy weight in a small concentrated area (such as an adult's weight applied by kneeling on one knee) greatly increases the chances of foam damage.
  6. Spray the zip sliders with a little RP7 or similar every few months and jiggle them open and closed a little bit. This will ensure they will open, if some repair work ever needs to be done on your spa cover.
  7. Ensure your spa cover is unbuckled before lifting. The easiest way to tear your spa cover is to lift the spa cover while some buckles are still locked.
  8. Don’t lift or pull the spa cover by the straps, flaps, skirts or heat seals. Always lift by the handles or by firmly grasping the cover on one edge. Wherever possible use two people to move a spa cover.
