6. Clamp
the
MicroSilk
®
Drain Line to the MicroSilk
®
Drain
Barb using the clamp provided on the tubing. Assure
the MicroSilk
®
Drain Line will allow proper drainage to
the drain fitting (Figure 7). The drain hose must have a
continuous drop from the drain barb to the drain fitting.
Caution: Confirm all tubing is fully engaged on its
respective barb and its clamp has secured the tub-
ing to the barb.
7. The bottom of the Pump Mount must be secured and
level with the bottom of the bath, it is recommended re-
movable fasteners be used in case any future servicing
is required.
8. Continue bath installation per the Jason Owner’s Manual
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance guide.
REMOTE MOUNTING OF AIR BLOWER
The Jason AirMasseur
®
system has been factory installed
following E.T.L. Guidelines. During installation, if remote
mounting of the blower is desired or required, the following
procedures should be followed.
NOTE: Do not remote mount the blower more than 15
feet (457cm) away from the air inlet of the bath. Choose
a location as close as possible to the bath to assure
maximum efficiency.
1. Make sure the blower is well ventilated. The blower
mount should be attached firmly to the floor. Piping
between the remote blower location and the bath can
be insulated using a minimum of 1/2" (13mm) thick
insulation. Attach new piping to the elbow of the
existing piping.
2. The installer must determine the layout of the pip-
ing; exact remote mount location; and service access
before beginning any work. Use 1.5" (38mm) ABS
or PVC plastic tubing. Locate the blower in an area
accessible for servicing.
NOTE: A 15-foot extension replacement cable
set can be purchased from your Jason supplier,
if needed. To ensure proper functioning of the
system, avoid remote mounting in a location which
requires more than six (6) piping direction changes.
A 90° direction change should be made up of two
45° elbows for maximum efficiency.
3. If the blower has been factory installed, disconnect the
blower from the air bath plumbing by removing the two
(2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect the
short piece of flex pipe between the check valve and
the elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the elbow.
(Omit this step on baths where the blower is not factory
installed and remote mounting is required.)
4. Install the blower in the remote location. The remote
mount locations’ ambient air temperature should remain
at approximately 22°C (72°F) for optimum air heating.
CLEANING
1. Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or excess
grout can be removed with the use of a wood (edge)
trowel.
2. Paint or tar stains may need to be removed with a
cleaner such as paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl
alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Never allow the cleaner to
soak against the acrylic surface for long periods of time.
Always rinse the surface immediately following the
use of cleaners.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of
cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched or
dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic polish,
like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from the Jason
Dealer). It is always preferable to protect the acrylic
surface during installation to minimize cleanup and
prevent surface damage.
WATER TESTING
Before finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
1. Before water testing the bath, make sure any pump
unions are hand tight. Do not over tighten or use a pipe
wrench. This will damage the unions and cause leaking.
If the unit leaks with the unions hand tight, then loosen
the unions(s) and check the O-ring seal to ensure it is
properly seated.
2. Fill and operate the bath. Close the drain and fill the
bath with water to at least 10 inches [25 cm] below the
bath deck. The inlet temperature should not exceed 40°C
(104°F). Refer to the FILLING AND DRAINING section
of this owner’s manual for more information.
NEVER RUN THE PUMP WITHOUT ENOUGH
WATER IN THE BATH TO COVER THE JETS.
3. Inspect the plumbing for leaks.
4. Turn the equipment Off and then drain the water.
The bath unit and its plumbing are designed to drain
after each use whether used as a hydrotherapy bath,
soaking bath, or when taking a shower.
