High humidity levels can cause microbes to quickly multiply and grow on an unprotected spa surface.  Microban® antimicrobial technology provides an added level of cleanliness protection by working continuously between cleanings to fight the growth of stain causing bacteria on the surface of the spa.

Microban® protection is built-in to Lucite® cast acrylic sheet during the manufacturing process.  When microbes come in contact with the spa surface, Microban protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism and disrupts cell functions disabling the microorganism's ability to function, grow and reproduce.
