Shower Base Installation And Operation
English
Installation Procedures
The weep holes are necessary to allow drainage
from leakage through an unsealed tiled grout.
Filling the area marked, Do Not Fill, will prevent moisture
from draining back to the base through the weep holes, see
Figure 8. Such moisture is due to leakage through the tile
grout. Sealing the tile grout will prevent this leakage.

Clean Up After Installation
• The acrylic finish will give long-lasting beauty when properly maintained. To avoid dulling and scratching of the finish, never
use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A mild liquid detergent and warm water will clean soiled surfaces.
• Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout can be
removed if lightly rubbed with a mild detergent and a damp cloth or sponge.
• Minor scratches that do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding the surface with a 600-grit,
wet-dry sandpaper. To restore the glossy finish, use a special compound like Meguiar’s No. 10 Mirror Glaze. If it is not
available, use an automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste wax.
• Major scratches and gouges that penetrate the acrylic surface may require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi® Luxury Bath
dealer for special instructions.
