Part III Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The shower head is equipped with a filter which must be occasionally cleaned of limestone and other deposits. The
filter is placed between the flexible hose and the shower head. If limestone deposits are on the jet nozzles, the shape
of the water jets may be altered. Remove and clean the nozzles occasionally. Forcefully turn the nozzle counterclock-
wise until a click is felt. Then remove the nozzle and clean it by soaking it in a moderate vinegar and water solution.
Do not use metal tools (such as scissors or screwdrivers, etc.) to clean the nozzle. For routine cleaning of plastic
surfaces, such as the side panel, the shower wall panel, etc., use a mild liquid detergent only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, alcohol, or other solvents. Any normal polish can be used to keep acrylic surfaces shiny. The glass panels
can be cleaned with any glass-cleaning product available on the market. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or acetone
on any part of the J-Dream.
Special Maintenance Operations, Hard Water Areas
If the steam bath is used frequently in a hard water area, particles of limestone may be deposited in the steam generator
and reduce its performance. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath recommends the installation of a water softener unit, in order to
eliminate or reduce limestone deposits. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath also recommends the installation of a particle filter
because the solenoid valve can be obstructed by large particles in the water, thus causing malfunctions.
To be sure that water conditions in your area will not require the installation of a water softener unit or a particle filter,
consult a professional plumber. In a hard water area, filter screens in the solenoid valves may become obstructed over
time or with heavy use. If the procedures under " Routine Maintenance Operations" do not correct a flow problem,
call a qualified service technician to inspect and clean the solenoid valve filter screens, located in the equipment area
of the shower unit. The valves are accessed through the vertical fixed panel adjacent to the sliding shower doors. The
valves can also be accessed by removing 3 screws located between the glass and the edge of the seatwall and pivoting
the seatwall inward.
IMPORTANT:When installing the shower unit, be sure to leave adequate clearance to allow the removal of the
vertical panel for service access.
