JETTED SINK CARE
Cleaning Your Jetted Sink
Acrylic is a renewable surface. If the acrylic surface is damaged,
minor cuts or scratches usually can be buffed or polished out of
the finish with a paste wax or automobile rubbing compound.
To clean your jetted sink:
■
Clean the acrylic surface with a mild, liquid detergent and a
damp cloth or sponge. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
■
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as scouring cleansers or
harsh cleaning tools such as scouring pads. These can
scratch or damage materials.
To flush your jetted sink:
Flush the jetted sink at least once every 90 days.
1. Fill the jetted sink with hot water and add 2 tsp (9.8 mL) of
non-sudsing laundry detergent.
2. Run the system for 10 minutes, then drain the jetted sink.
3. Fill jetted sink with cold water and run for 10 minutes to rinse
the system, then drain the jetted sink.

above the suction cover.
2. Run the jetted sink for a 10-minute cycle.
3. Unplug jetted sink or disconnect power.
