Caring for your platform

Your new platform has been designed to accommodate the conditions usually associated with swimming pool environments, that is – chemicals, salt and sun. However, continuous care and proper maintenance of your platform is still required to ensure its durability and prolong its lifespan.


Follow the tips and suggestions listed below, to give your platform the best chance to achieve a long
and happy life.

  • Remove the platform from pool water after use and store in an appropriate location away
    from exposure to weather and other harsh elements
  • Create a regular cleaning schedule taking into consideration the points below
  • Scan regularly for damage. If the platform has been damaged, repair prior to use. Refer to
    Parts Code Sheet and Warranty information.
  1. Regularly clean with a mild dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water and rinse with
    fresh clean water to prevent any potential dirt and grime build up
  2. It is important to only wash it with a lint free soft cloth or damp rag. This will help protect the
    gelcoat surface treatment and prevent scratches and degradation
  3. Take your time to inspect the deck as you are cleaning it. Carefully remove any dirt and
    contaminants and look for any damage which may require repair
  4. Store the platform so that the fibreglass deck is not touching the ground and make sure it is stored out of full sun for prolonged periods of time

Don’t use:

  • Harsh cleaners and steel scourers (or similar) as this will interfere with the integrity of the
    gelcoat and fibreglass resin

  1. Regularly clean with a mild dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water and rinse with
    fresh clean water to prevent any potential dirt and grime build up
  2. It is important to only wash it with a lint free cloth or damp rag. In hard-to-reach areas, use a soft toothbrush and lightly scrub, gently removing any staining
  3. Store the platform so that the S/S components will not be scratched or damaged and away
    from exposed weather elements

Don’t use:

  • Harsh cleaners and steel scourers (or similar) as this will interfere with the integrity of the
    S/S composition

TEA STAINING
S/S 316 material is a durable stainless steel and provides excellent resistance to corrosion and rust.
Tea staining appears like rust but is merely the build-up of salt, dirt or grime that has deposited in the microscopic craters of the S/S product. Tea staining will not affect the structural integrity of your platform, it is a visual impediment which we advise to remove by following the recommendations abovementioned.

  1. Regularly Use mild strength soap or dishwashing liquid with water to clean the ABS plastic components of the platform
  2. Use a soft cloth or paper to prevent scratches, marks and brightness degradation

Don’t use:

  • High strength cleaning agents and chemicals such as bleach, chloride or degreasers as this will impact on the longevity and durability of the material and potentially cause colour
    deterioration
