Why Regular Care Matters

• Health & Hygiene: Prevent bacterial growth and ensure safe immersion.
• Longevity: Protect your Dutch-engineered barrel’s premium materials.
• Performance: Maintain optimal insulation and water clarity.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Routine

1. Drain the Water

• Use the built-in quick-drain valve (with hose adapter) for effortless emptying.
• For stubborn residue, tilt the barrel slightly or use a portable pump.

2. Clean Surfaces

• Tools: Soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
• Solution: Mix warm water with pH-neutral, eco-friendly cleanser (avoid harsh chemicals).
• Focus Areas:
  • Scrub the medical-grade HydroGuard™ liner to remove biofilm.
  • Wipe the exterior’s weather-resistant composite shell.

3. Tackle Stubborn Deposits

• For limescale or mineral buildup:
  • Apply a paste of baking soda and water.
  • Gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush.

4. Rinse & Dry

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to eliminate cleanser residue.
• Air-dry completely (inside and out) before refilling to prevent mold.

Water Change Frequency

Pro Tip: Use test strips weekly to monitor pH (ideal: 7.2–7.6) and chlorine levels.

Chemical Care for Crystal-Clear Water

1. Algae Prevention

• Add algae inhibitor monthly (choose plant-based formulas for sensitive skin).

2. pH Balancing

• Adjust with pH+ or pH- tablets if levels drift outside 7.2–7.6.

3. Disinfection

• Use chlorine-free shock treatment weekly (e.g., hydrogen peroxide-based).

4. Filter Maintenance

• Rinse the AquaPure™ filter cartridge weekly.
• Replace every 3 months (or sooner with heavy use).

Off-Season Storage Guide

1. Prep for Storage

• Drain all water and wipe the interior dry.
• Remove and clean the filter.

2. Protect Your Barrel

• Cover with the InsulLock™ winter cover (UV-resistant, waterproof).

3. Storage Location

• Ideal: Dry, shaded area (garage or shed).
• Avoid: Direct sunlight or freezing temperatures.
