MAINTENTANCE
Before tub is used, the whirlpool system should be cleaned and disinfected. Remove all debris and clean tub before putting
whirlpool into service. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE ACRYLIC FINISH. Use a non-abrasive detergent
and rinse well after cleaning.
• Fill the tub with HOT water to a level 2" above the highest jet.
• Add 2 teaspoons of low-sudsing automatic dishwashing detergent and no more than 4 ounces of household bleach to
the water.
• Operate whirlpool for 10 minutes. Drain. Note: To effectively clean both the whirlpool and air bath system, you must
operate them both.
• Refill with cold water and operate whirlpool for 5 minutes. Drain.

Whirlpool System Cleaning:

To remove accumulations of bath residue from the whirlpool system, we recommend that you purge it at least twice a
month, or more depending on usage. To do this, follow this simple procedure. Fill the bath with hot water (not exceed-
ing 104 F). Add to the hot water, 4 (6) tablespoons of low foaming detergent such as liquid Cascade or Calgonite and
o
24 (48) oz. of liquid household bleach, such as Clorox [use lesser amounts shown for 5-foot bathtubs, greater amounts in
parentheses for larger bathtubs]. Run the bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the bath completely and refill with cold water
only. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain the bath completely. Depending on the usage and/or the content
of the local water supply, more frequent purging may be necessary.

Air Bath System Cleaning:

NOTE: DO NOT TURN THE PUMP ON DURING THE AIR BATH CLEANING.
Before tub is used, your air bath and plumbing system should be flushed. Close the drain. Fill bath with hot water to at
least six inches above air injector holes. Add 2 teaspoons of low sudsing automatic dishwashing detergent and no more
than 4 ounces of bleach to the water. DO NOT use bleach or other chlorinated cleansers on metal trim surrounding control
panels. Turn blower on for approximately two minutes to mix cleaner with water. Shut blower down and allow cleaner to
soak in the bath for approximately two hours. Turn ON air bath and run for approximately five minutes. Turn air bath unit
OFF and drain tub. Aquatic recommends the above cleaning process on your air bath system once a month.
NOTE: DO NOT USE OIL OR OIL BASED BATH ADDITIVES.
If you want to use any kind of bath additive, use only a small amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance; the
whirlpool action intensifies the foaming properties of soaps.
The use of certain bubble baths and bath additives may increase the level of accumulations of bath residue in the whirlpool
system. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products.
If you have followed the monthly purging instructions and still have an excess accumulation of bath residue and desire
an alternative cleaning mechanism, we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by Stearns Packaging
Corporation to rectify this condition. This may be obtained by calling Aquatic, at (800) 945-2726. It is recommended
that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER
SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to purge your whirlpool system at least twice a month with a low
foaming detergent and bleach.
