14.5 Handrail Maintenance
The handrails in your Sundance hot tub are manufactured from a high
quality 316 stainless steel alloy. Many people are familiar with the term
“stainless steel” and are surprised to learn that it does indeed rust and
corrode in the presence of chloride salts, free chlorine, or sulfide gasses.
The bad news is the environments that produce these elements are
ocean spray, salted highways, chemical treatments added to swimming
pools and hot tubs, and ground water in numerous coastal areas. The
good news is with proper care, your hot tub’s handrails can maintain their
original finish.
If your stainless handrails shows signs of rusting you should:
• Wash with fresh water (a good detergent won’t hurt).
• Clean with a good car chrome polish.
• Wax with an automotive or fiberglass wax.
You should never:
• Clean with chlorinated cleaners or scouring powders.
• Use sand paper, “Scotch Brite”, Brillo pads, or similar abrasive
products.
• Clean with muratic or hydrochloric acids. Vinegar is ok, but it
won’t do much to remove rust.
