CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Flushing of the pump and piping or circulation system should be done monthly when the system is under nor-
mal use.
The following procedures should be used:
1) Fill the tub with hot water above the jets and add one to two (1-2) cups of vinegar
OR
bleach.
2) Activate the system and let it run for 10 minutes.
3) Turn the system off and let it stand for 10 minutes.
4) Drain the unit completely.
5) Fill the tub with cold water above the jets.
6) Repeat steps 2-4.
DURING CLEAN-UP, USE MILD NON-ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS. DO NOT USE ACETONE OR
LAQUER THINNERS SINCE THEY WILL HARM THE ACRYLIC SURFACE. THE FOLLOWING
CLEANERS ARE RECOMMENDED:
• Glass cleaner is the most widely used and most highly recommended cleaners.
• Alcohol or mineral spirits may be used on difficult cleaning areas.
Scratches may be removed by sanding and buffing the surface. However, you should first consult a professional
or contact the manufacturer before performing this task. A mild polishing agent such as Jewelers Rouge or very
mild abrasive toothpaste can be used on slight surface scratches. Always polish with a soft cotton cloth. DuPont
No. 7 White Polishing Compound may be used on slight surface scratches.
Whenever in doubt, it is always recommended that you consult your local dealer or the manufacturer before at-
tempting any repair other than normal routine maintenance. The acrylic finish on your TradeWind bathtub is
one of the most durable materials available, but certain cleaning products can harm the acrylic surface. Please
use the cleaners listed above if at all possible.
