USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE TUB SURFACE
For daily maintenance cleaning, use a moist cloth and gentle liquid detergent.
For acrylic surfaces, occasional use of a special acrylic surface cleaner will add luster and protect the finish.
Proper care and maintenance will preserve the high gloss acrylic finish. To properly clean the surface, wipe with a soft
damp cloth, or sponge, using household soap or liquid detergent. DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners, scrapers, metal
brushes, or any items or products that could scratch or dull the surface. HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT BE
USED ON SURFACE.
The jets can be removed for cleaning. Use wrench provided with the tub. Do not remove the protective cover on the suction
return for cleaning. The only time the protective cover is removed is to replace the decorative ring.
Alcohol may be used to remove glue, adhesives, etc. from the surface.
CLEANING THE PUMP AND PLUMBING SYSTEM
After the tub is installed and ready to use, remove all construction debris and clean the tub and pump system. Clean the
the pump and plumbing system before the first use and every month thereafter, regardless of utilization. This is easily done
as follows:
1. Set air control knobs to the closed position (turn counter clockwise).
2. Using hot water only, fill the tub to at least 2 inches above the highest jet.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of low sudsing automatic dishwasher detergent. Every other month use 1/2 cup of household bleach
for cleaning the system, along with the detergent powder.
4. Operate whirlpool for 20 minutes.
5. When the pump system stops (except on Air Switch units which have to be turned off manually), drain the water from the tub.
Caustic drain openers will damage the surface and the pump. Should you experience a clogged
drain, call a plumber to remove the trap for cleaning. Extreme heat from portable heaters and cigarettes
can damage the surface of the tub. We do not recommend the use of oil based bath additives. Epson salts or other
mineral salts may be used in the tub.
MINOR SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS
The procedure to remove light surface scratch or burnish
marks is quite simple. Apply automobile rubbing compound
and lightly buff, then apply paste wax and lightly buff again.
This will return the original shine.
MAJOR REPAIRS TO THE SURFACE
Should a deep scratch or more serious damage occur,
please call your installation professional.
JET HARDWARE WRENCH
The wrench that is included with your tub is used to remove
hardware for cleaning, replacing or adjusting the nozzle.
Refer to the diagrams below for how to use this wrench.
Again, use no abrasive cleaners. Use mild detergent and a
soft cloth or sponge when cleaning. Do not remove the cover
on the suction return. This cover is removed only when
replacing the decorative ring (fig. 14).
