 FINAL SYSTEM TEST & CLEAN-UP

System Test

To test system, follow these steps in order listed:

1.  Fill clean tub with water to a point no less than 3" above the highest jet.

2.  To test the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI), push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the 

reset button. Power should be resorted. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, 

indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected 

by a licensed electrician before using.

3.  Turn on integral on/off switch.

4.  Push on/off button on the whirlpool.

5.  Allow system to run a full 10 minutes. 

6.  Through access door or removable skirt, check for leaks in whirlpool plumbing system. Make sure half-unions at both 

ends of pump are hand-tight. If leakage is occurring at any other points, notify distributor.

7.  If any electrical malfunctions occur, immediately unplug the unit and consult a licensed electrician. Malfunctions of 

the pump/motor, whirlpool controls or the circulating system should be reported to the distributor who supplied the 

whirlpool tub.

Clean-up

1.  Remove all construction residue and foreign materials. Wipe unit clean with a damp rag, otherwise staining may 

occur.

2.  Plaster may be removed by scraping with the edge of a piece of wood or rigid plastic. DO NOT use metal scraper. 

For spots left by plaster or grout: rub lightly with a liquid detergent (Spic-N-Span

®

* or similar) on a damp cloth or 

sponge.

3.  

DO NOT

 use abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, steel wool, wire brushes or anything else that may harm or dull 

the surface.

4.  Paint, tar or stubborn stains may be removed with paint thinner, turpentine or rubbing alcohol. To avoid discoloration, 

cleaners containing petroleum distillate must not remain on surfaces. NEVER use lacquer thinner or chlorinated 

solvents.

5.  Dulled areas can be restored to a high gloss with white or cream-colored automotive rubbing compound, followed by 

application of carnauba wax or white or cream automotive paste wax and buffing.

6.  Major gouges require professional repair. Contact Aquatic to arrange factory-authorized repair services.
