Why Maintenance Is Important
Regular maintenance helps ensure the safe, reliable and long-lasting operation of your Maleco Automatic Pool & Spa Cover.
Your cover is a powered moving system exposed to outdoor conditions, moisture, spa chemicals, temperature changes and regular use. Over time, dirt, debris, wear or incorrect adjustment may affect the performance of the system.
Simple routine care, combined with periodic professional inspection, will help keep the cover operating smoothly and may prevent costly damage.
Routine Owner Maintenance
-
The owner should regularly check and maintain the cover as part of normal use.
-
Recommended routine checks:
-
Keep the cover surface clean.
-
Remove leaves, dirt and debris from the cover.
-
Keep guide rails, drainage areas and moving paths clear.
-
Check that the cover opens and closes smoothly.
-
Listen for unusual noise, vibration or resistance.
-
Inspect the cover surface for visible damage.
-
Ensure no objects are obstructing the cover movement.
-
Maintain correct spa water chemistry.
-
Ventilate the spa every 3–4 days.
If the cover does not move smoothly, stop operation immediately and contact Maleco Support.
