sjt2900 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 All of a sudden our headrests seem to be deteriorating. The tub is a year and a half old. Should this have happened so quickly? I thought we were doing a pretty good job of maintaining everything. We've been using the tub mostly at night for a while and really didn't notice this happening until today when we were changing the water. I'm thinking there is nothing to do but replace them, but how can we keep this from happening again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look in the Sundance manual it says that everytime you shock your tub, you are suppose to remove the pillows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE SPA GUY Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 the bubble cover is also called a solar blanket, you can get them in 6x6, 7x7 or 8x8, sizes they are generally blue with bubbles on one side, they also have them as a foam style also, call your dealer he should know about them... usually put on your water bubble side down, roughly $ 30.00 a lot cheaper to replace these then the pillows...

Don@LOP Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was told by my Sundance dealer that an ozonator will accelerate deterioration to pillows & the cover, which is why I didn't pay extra for the ozonator.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don R Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have an 2002 Sundance Optima with ozonator just replaced the pillows this summer after 7 years and they did not look as bad a the ones in your picture. I use bromine in my tub you should check with the dealer they should not look like that so soon. Do you have the dealer check your water maybe your chemicals are off.
