CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

     Before using the whirlpool bath, the system
should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THIS
HIGH-GLOSS ACRYLIC FINISH.  Use a  non-
abrasive cleaner and rinse THOROUGHLY af-
ter cleaning.
•   Fingernail polish remover can be used to
remove labels from surface of tub.
•    Close the air controls to prevent excessive
foaming.  To close air controls turn knobs
clockwise.
•    Fill the tub to 2” above the highest jet with
water.
•     Add 2 teaspoons of low sudsing automatic
dishwashing detergent along with no more than
4 ounces of a household bleach to the water.
•    Operate for 5 to 10 minutes.
•    Drain the tub--fill it with water--operate for
5 minutes, then drain.
•   When using your whirlpool, fill it the way
you would any conventional bathtub, but use
moderation in experimenting with small
amounts of shampoo or soap products.  Avoid

excessive foaming. We do not recommend the
use of bath oils or bubble  baths in this prod-
uct.  DO NOT START THE WHIRLPOOL PUMP
UNTIL THE TUB IS FILLED WITH WATER.
1.  Fill the tub with the desired temperature
      water to approximately 2” above the high-
      est jet.
2.   Turn on the whirlpool pump.  This will start
      the whirlpool action.
3.   Turn off the pump to stop the whirlpool
      action.
4.  Drain and rinse the tub after use.

AIR VOLUME CONTROLS

(See Diagram A-4)

     These two knobs are to control the amount
of air induced into the jet stream of water.  Turn
them clockwise to stop air; counterclockwise
to increase air induction.  (Note:  Addition of
air does not slow the volume or decrease the
pressure of water; however, a softening effect
of water is felt.)

STANDARD AIR SWITCH PUMP

(See Diagram A-3)

Simply push the button located on the deck of
the tub.

and overflow.

FINAL OPERATIONAL CHECK BY
FILLING THE TUB WITH WATER TO
THE OVERFLOW AND OPERATE

UTES.  LEAVE THE WATER IN THE
BATH FOR 30 MINUTES, CHECK
