Disinfecting and Cleaning Instructions

Important:
1. Do not use abrasive compounds or applicators such as metal brushes – they can
damage the whirlpool's appearance. Do not allow steel wool to come in contact with
stainless steel. Steel particles can embed into the stainless steel surface and create
rust.
2. Avoid cleaning or disinfecting products that contain strong acids or contain chlorine,
fluorine, bromine, or iodine, as these products can damage the protective chromium
oxide layer, resulting in corrosion and leaks. If such products are used on stainless
steel, keep the exposure brief (less than 15 minutes) and thoroughly rinse stainless
steel surfaces of all residue.
Recommended cleaning materials:
a. Sponge (natural or artificial)
b. Soft-bristle brush
c. Soft cloth (e.g. microfiber cloth)
The tub, thermometer, and turbine shall be disinfected and cleaned after each patient.
Disinfecting and Cleaning the Tub and Thermometer
1. Drain the tub following the draining instructions above.
2. Verify that the turbine is off.
3. Remove any loose objects or debris that may be present in the Whirlpool tub.
To disinfect, use a stainless steel hard surface disinfectant per the manufacturer's
instructions with one of the recommended cleaning materials above.
To clean, use a mild soap solution with one of the recommended cleaning materials
above.
Rinse thoroughly prior to use.
Disinfecting and Cleaning the Turbine
1. Drain the tub following the draining instructions above.
2. For tubs greater than 75.7 L (20 US gallons), raise turbine, place a large clean bucket
in the tub and lower the bottom of the turbine into the empty bucket.
3. Fill the bucket or tub with water so the bottom of the turbine is at least 15.2 cm (6
inches) below the surface of the water.
4. Add a disinfectant solution to the water per manufacturer's instructions.
5. Ensure the pressure control valve is in the open position.
6. Turn on the turbine for 5 seconds and turn it off. Wait 10 minutes.
