SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND USER PRECAUTIONS
** REFER TO PAGE 5 FOR MORE INFORMATION
1. Never run the hydrotherapy jet system when the water level in the tub is less than 2” above the highest
level jet outlet.
2. Should you become drowsy or fatigued,
leave the bathtub immediately
.
3. Do not use bubble baths or similar products with the hydrotherapy system as the foaming action is greatly
increased, and will produce an overflow into the bathroom. Do not use the hydrotherapy after taking
medication that produces drowsiness. Do not consume alcohol before using the hydrotherapy system.
4. Never leave a small child, invalid or intoxicated person unattended in the bath tub.
5. Anyone who has a respiratory, circulatory, or blood pressure problem, or who is pregnant or under medi-
cal care, should consult their physician on the use of any hydrotherapy system.
6. Using the blower for too long a period at too high water temperature will cause a tiring effect.
7. When you first begin to use your So-Lo, run the blower for five minutes maximum. Regulate the water
temperature to a moderately warm level. These levels can be later increased for additional massaging ef-
fects. Your physiological response to a hot massage bath depends on your age, health and medical his-
tory. If you develop a headache or become dizzy or nauseous, get out at once and cool off under the
shower. Get medical help if the symptoms persist.
Troubleshooting
1. Blower fails to operate:
⇒
Verify that electronic touch control is connected properly.
⇒
Check ground fault circuit interrupter. Reset if tripped.
⇒
Check electrical connections at junction box underneath bathtub through access panel.
⇒
If the system has been functioning for an extended period of time, it is possible that the thermal protec-
tion system has shut off the motor. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes, and try it again.
2. Motor runs, but no air comes through the jets:
⇒
Verify that the main air hose from manifold to blower is properly connected. If necessary, reconnect and
tighten clamps.
3. Air outlets of jet heads are obstructed:
⇒
If the air outlets of a jet head are obstructed by soap or other residues, fill tub with warm water, then
switch system ON and OFF several times. The air outlets should be cleared, if this is not sufficient, care-
fully tap on the jet heads with the handle of a screw driver or a similar tool (plastic) while the blower is
running.
4. The air heater seems not to work
⇒
To verify the operation of the air heater, fill the bathtub to working level and operate blower for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. Carefully feel the flexible connection hose where it connects to the blower. The hose
and its immediate area should feel warm to the touch. If not, contact your local dealer.
⇒
If your tub is installed against two outside walls, it is recommended to ensure adequate insulation for
these outside walls to minimize heat loss.
However, do not suffocate the system’s blower.
⇒
Skin sensitive people might experience the so-called "cold air effect" which is caused by the sensation of
air bubbles running along the wet skin and providing the bather with a shivering sensation. Just move
your body slightly away from the closest jet to stop the sensation of cold air. (NOTE: Even if the out com-
ing air would be hot enough to burn the skin, this shivering effect may still persist.)
Note:
The air heater is not designed to heat your bath water, just to preheat the incoming air to body
temperature.
