The fiberglass flume sections are like new cars in terms of exposure to weather and other elements. They need not be caulked or repainted, but they usually require waxing, washing and routine repair to protect and retain the original luster. To ensure that the fiberglass flume sections look like new, we suggest washing it once a month, or more frequently whenever needed.
