WIND CONDITIONS

Under normal and moderate wind conditions (10-20 mph), the dome and blower can be left in normal operating conditions. If gusty and stronger wind conditions are forecast (20+ mph), it is recommended to turn off the blower and allow the SPACE ARENA to deflate prior to the arrival of the high winds. If attempting to deflate the dome after winds have begun, be very careful and have two to three people present to guard against damaging dome as it deflates. Do not allow the zipper to rest in the water after dome is deflated as water will seep through and accumulate on top of the SPACA ARENA. Should a large amount of water gather on top of the dome, it can be pumped off. Insurance protection should be discussed with your agent to verify coverage.

PATCHING

Long lasting patching can be made using PLASTIMAYD Pool Patch Kits. Be sure to follow directions very closely.

ZIPPER

The zipper must be lubricated WEEKLY to insure that the zipper will perform as intended. An aerosol spray such as WD-40, or any other silicon product, is satisfactory. Care should be taken not to over-spray on fabric portion of zipper. Should the zipper become damaged, a replacement can be purchased from your swimming pool dealer or directly from PLASTIMAYD CORPORATION. The replacement zipper snaps easily into the existing zipper panel.

CLEANING

The outside of the SPACE ARENA should be hosed down ONCE A WEEK to prevent dirt build-up. When a more thorough cleaning is desired, we suggest using a car washing detergent or similar solution and a large cloth or throw rug tied with a rope at each corner with two people working the soapy material from end to end. When finished , rinse thoroughly. Be careful to avoid scratching clear portions of the SPACE ARENA.

The inside of the dome and deck should be sprayed once a week with a strong chlorine/ water solution. Allow this to remain on the dome long enough for the chlorine to attack any algae growth which may be starting (approximately 30 minutes), then simply hose off.

REMOVAL AND STORAGE

To eliminate the possibility of algae growth in moisture pockets when the dome is folded and stored, the SPACE ARENA should be dried thoroughly prior to storing. This can be done by spreading the SPACE ARENA across a grassy area and allowing it to dry on one side and then on the other. It is also possible to dry the dome inside and out by attaching the blower to circulate air beneath the dome until it is dry.

When refolding the dome for storage, take the time to fold it AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY FOLDED at the factory. This will make your next set-up much easier.

1. Spread the dome as flat as possible on the ground.

2. Accordion- fold the dome lengthwise in four foot pleats. This will result in the dome laying in a four foot strip lengthwise. Note: Diatomaceous earth or talcum powder should be applied to both sides of the dome to help prevent moisture build-up during storage and will help to keep the vinyl pliable.

3. Roll up the dome tightly

4. Store in an area where the temperature will not be below freezing over above 110 F. Store where there is good air circulation. DO NOT store your SPACE ARENA in sunlight.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR DEEP FREEZE AREAS

The residential SPACE ARENA is ONLY intended to extend the swimming season and should NOT be used during cold winter months. If weather conditions are consistently below 20° F, or have heavy snow falls or ice, we recommend that the SPACE ARENA be removed and stored. The SPACE ARENA may only be used during winter months in MILDER CLIMATES where temperatures & conditions are warmer than those mentioned above.

CARE OF BLOWER

Blower filters should be routinely checked and changed as required or at least once a year. Replacement filters for track blowers (Nutone #27861.000) can be purchased from your local Nutone Dealer or from PLASTIMAYD CORPORATION. Green filters can also be purchased from PLASTIMAYD CORPORATION.
