CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper cleaning, maintenance, and storage is essential to help prolong the life of your product. Do not use
petroleum-based cleaners on this product. Improper use of a pressure washer can damage or destroy the
product.
Basic Cleaning: Use soft bristly brush or sponge with mild soap and fresh water.
Difficult Cleaning: For heavy stains, marine growth, algae, mold, dirt and oils check with your distributor, or
on our website, Aquaglide.com for commercial-grade cleaning solutions. In general, be sure that any cleaning
products are clearly labeled as safe for PVC.
UV Protectant: Long-term exposure to sunlight will reduce product life and can damage the product.
Regularly apply a UV protectant to exposed surfaces to ensure the life of your product. The best time to begin
applying UV protectant is when the item is clean and new. Repeat applications depend on site specifics. In
temperate climates, apply 1-2 times per year. In tropical climates, monthly application is not uncommon. Find
more information on professional-grade UV protectants from your distributor, or at Aquaglide.com.
Replacement parts: Items like valves, PRV's, handles, rings and other accessories can occasionally wear
out and need replacement to maintain the full function of your product. Check with your distributor, or on our
website, Aquaglide.com for available parts and replacement instructions.
STORAGE - Clean, Protect, Dry: Clean product and consider applying UV protectant before storage. UV
protectant conditions the PVC material and will help protect against dirt accumulation during storage. Confirm
product is completely dry before folding.
Deflate & Fold: Deflate product completely: Consider using electric pump in 'deflate' mode. Close valve to
prevent air return. Fold deflated product in similar manner to original packaging. If uncertain, fold in thirds,
then roll loosely toward the valve(s). Enclose product in original storage wrap, if included.
Storage: Store the product out of direct sunlight and protect from environment in a clean, dry location such
as a sealed closet, crate or container to prevent against serious threat of rodent damage. When building or
sourcing storage container, use original box dimensions as a baseline. Size up by at least 15-20% to allow for
imperfect folding. Never store in a damp location or at temperatures below 40 F (4 C).
