CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Pump and pipe circulation systems should be flushed before first use and on a monthly basis when product is
under normal use. Below are the recommended procedures for cleaning:
•
Do not run whirlpool dry
. Fill the tub with hot water 2-3 inches above the jets and add 2-3 teaspoons of
low foaming detergent such as dishwashing machine detergent.
•
Turn on whirlpool system and run for 10 minutes.
•
Drain tub completely.
•
Fill tub with cold water above jets.
•
Turn on whirlpool system and run for 15 minutes.
•
Drain tub completely.
•
Cleaning the “suction cover”: Clean and remove any hair or lint from the suction cover. On a monthly
basis, unscrew the suction cover and clean away any hair, lint or debris from the cover and housing, then
remount the cover in place. Some suctions are not designed to be removed; only suctions that have screws
on the cover, visible from the inside of the tub, can be removed.
Never operate the unit with the safety
suction cover off.
Do not use abrasive cleaners
as they will scratch and dull the surface. Use a mild liquid household
detergent cleaner such as Clorox Soft Scrub®.
Plaster can be removed using a wooden stick.
DO NOT USE METAL SCRAPERS
,
WIRE BRUSHES
,
WATER
BARRIER WALLBOARD OR OTHER HARSH ABRASIVE TOOLS
.
Usually a mild detergent will remove construction debris. More stubborn debris may be removed with
denatured alcohol, or Clorox Soft Scrub® cleaner.
Light scratches and dulled areas may be restored to original luster by rubbing with an automotive type
cleaning compound such as DuPont White Polishing Compound®.
