Cleaning and
Maintenance
Pump and pipe circulation systems should be fl ushed before fi rst 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. Suction covers with visible screws from
inside the tub can be removed. Some suctions are intended not to
be removed and have no visible fasteners. This style of suction cover
does not need to be removed for cleaning. Never operate the unit
with the safety suction cover o .
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 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®.
