GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

This manual contains all of the information needed for the proper 

installation and operation of your Jason Air-Whirlpool bath. The 

Air-Whirlpool  bath  has  been  designed  to  give  you  years  of 

relaxing trouble-free service, provided the unit is maintained 

and operated in accordance with these instructions.

Thoroughly  clean  and  disinfect  the  unit  as  described  in  the 

CleaNINg

 section of the 

user MaINTeNaNCe INsTruCTIONs 

on 

page 10 before its first use and periodically thereafter.

CAUTION

: Keep hair, towels, and clothing away from the suction 

fitting  whenever  the  Air-Whirlpool  equipment  is  On.  never 

operate the equipment with the suction cover off, doing so voids 

the manufacturer’s warranty--it is a safety cover designed to 

eliminate the potential of hair and body entrapment.

All Jason Air-Whirlpool baths are pre-plumbed at the factory.

WARNING: Before operating refer to the instructions pertaining to the 

risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons on page 12.

JETS

Strategically placed whirlpool jets are provided for complete 

enjoyment  of  your  bath.  The  jets  are  specially  designed  for 

maximum whirlpool action with either directional or rotational 

capabilities.  By  changing  the  direction  of  the  jets,  you  can 

concentrate the massaging jet stream to your area of preference. 

You can also individually adjust the flow of each jet. 

AIR VOLUME CONTROL

Two air controls are conveniently located for bather control. 

Turning  the  knob  counter  clockwise  increases  the  air  flow 

and  turning  the  knob  clockwise  decreases  the  air  flow.  For 

maximum whirlpool effect, open the air controls completely. 

Restriction of the air controls will produce fewer air bubbles 

and a reduction in hydrotherapy performance.

PUMP

Pumps  provided  on  Jason  Air-Whirlpool  baths  are  factory 

tested  when  assembled  and  retested  after  installation  on 

the  Air-Whirlpool  bath.  These  pumps  are  of  efficient  design 

incorporating high quality long life seals which provide superior 

service. However, should the pump need service, suction and 

discharge unions are provided for easy pump removal.

FILLING AND DRAINING

Close  the  drain  and  fill  the  bath  with  water  at  least  two  (2) 

inches above the jets. The inlet temperature should not exceed 

40°C (104°F) as this could damage the acrylic surface.

When bath is in use, turn the unit Off before draining the water. 

The bath unit and its plumbing are designed to drain after each 

use whether used as an Air-Whirlpool bath, soaking bath, or 

just taking a shower.

BLOWER

The blower generates warm air and pushes it through the air 

jets. Blowers provided on Jason Air-Whirlpool baths are factory 

tested when assembled and again retested after installation on 

the Air-Whirlpool bath.

STANDARD EDITION AUTOMATIC PURGE

Fifteen minutes after the control has shut off and the bath is 

completely drained, the blower will start again for a two-minute 

purge cycle that dries the air channel. Note that the blower light 

will flash during the 15-minute pause before the purge cycle 

begins. Once the purge cycle begins, all indicators will light and 

the keypad operation will be disabled for two (2) minutes.

SIGNATURE EDITION AUTOMATIC PURGE

Twenty (20) minutes after the control has shut off and the bath 

is  completely  drained,  the  blower  will  start  again  for  a  two-

minute purge cycle that dries the air channel. Note that the LCD 

display will read “PURGE” and begin to countdown the 10 or 

20 minute pause before the purge cycle begins. The readout 

will display “PURGE ON” during the purge cycle. 

Any  time  during  the  pause  before  the  purge  cycle  begins, 

pressing and holding the Blower Speeds icon will reduce the 

pause from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. During the two-minute 

purge, pressing the “Blower On/Off” icon will stop the purge.

SIGNATURE EDITION DAILY PURGE

The  daily  purge  can  be  activated  through  the  customized 

settings  of  the  Signature  Edition  touchpad.  When  activated 

the  daily  purge  will  start  the  blower  for  two-minutes  at  the 

same time everyday to dry the air channel. See ‘Operating the 

Signature Edition Air-Whirlpool Touchpad’ section on page 9 

for details on activating this setting.

INITALIZATION OF SIGNATURE EDITION CONTROL 

SYSTEM

The pump and blower junction box must be connected to its 

dedicated service prior to filling the bath with water. 

This will 

assure the control box is properly initialized (see Figure 4A).

SIGNATURE  EDITION  UNIVERSAL  REMOTE 

CONTROL

In addition to the main control console installed on the bath 

deck,  a  floating,  waterproof  Universal  Remote  Control  is 

provided with all Signature Edition Air-Whirlpools. This remote 

control is capable of operating the same functions as the bath’s 

main control console, plus the bather may remotely operate a 

TV, DVD, CD, etc. Refer to the 

Instruction Manual

 provided with 

the remote control for detailed instructions.

NOTE

: If the unit fails to operate, check the breaker panel to 

insure that the circuit breaker is on. Check the GFCI by testing 

and resetting it. Also check the water level in the bath; it must 

be above the water level sensor located on the sidewall of the 

bath for the pump to operate. If the unit still fails to operate, refer 

to the Trouble Shooting Guide section of this manual. If the unit 

still fails to operate and is out of warranty, contact an authorized 

service technician for repair. If the unit is within the warranty 

period, contact JASON Technical Service at 800-255-5766. DO
