Maintenance and Care

A well-maintained Wet Spa & Vichy Shower system ensures optimal performance, hygiene, and longevity. Here's a breakdown of essential maintenance practices:

Daily Cleaning

• Shower Heads: After each use, remove and soak the shower heads in a disinfectant solution to remove mineral buildup and prevent clogging. Wipe down the shower arm and exterior with a non-abrasive cleaner.

• Wet Spa Table: Clean the table surface and upholstery (if applicable) with a disinfectant solution after each treatment. Pay close attention to areas where clients come into direct contact.

• Flooring: Mop the wet spa room floor with a disinfectant cleaner to remove water residue and prevent slipping hazards.

Weekly Cleaning

• Deep Clean Shower Heads: Detach the shower heads and soak them in a stronger descaling solution according to manufacturer's instructions. This removes stubborn mineral deposits that can affect water pressure and flow.

• Filter Cleaning: Most Vichy shower systems have filters to trap impurities in the water supply. Clean or replace these filters as recommended by the manufacturer.

Monthly Maintenance

• Inspect Hoses & Connections: Look for signs of wear, leaks, or loose connections on the shower hoses and plumbing connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent water damage.

• Disinfect Drainage System: Pour a disinfectant solution down the wet spa table's drainage system to eliminate bacteria and prevent odors.

Additional Tips

• Water Softener: If your area has hard water, consider installing a water softener. This reduces mineral buildup in the shower heads and plumbing, extending their lifespan.

• Manufacturer's Recommendations: Refer to your Wet Spa & Vichy Shower system's manual for specific cleaning instructions and maintenance schedules.

• Professional Service: Schedule periodic professional maintenance by a qualified technician to ensure proper system operation and identify any potential problems early on.

By following these practices, you can ensure your Wet Spa & Vichy Shower system remains a valuable asset for your spa, providing a luxurious and hygienic experience for your clients for years to come.
