After Installation:
41. Before supplying any power to the product, you should inspect the power
cables to ensure the power leads are properly connected.
42. After installation and before starting the product for the first time, you
should inspection all the connections to ensure they are properly connected;
including parts, plugs, hoses, nuts, screws, wires, etc.
43. After you have fully installed the unit and made all the inspections to
ensure the unit can function safely, fully clean the unit inside and out to ensure
the unit is ready for usage, and also to check for any potential lose debris that
may have fallen into any of the plumbing. After a thorough visual inspection,
close the drain and fill the tub up to the overflow drain, submerging all the jets
underwater. If any debris floats out, remove it.
44. The whirlpool system will not run unless the water-level sensor is fully
submerged underwater. The water-level sensor is placed above the water line
of the water jets.
45. Turn-on the whirlpool system and operate it for a minimum of 10-minutes.
Then turn-off the whirlpool system and without draining it, allow it to sit for a
minimum of 10-minutes. Now check all the plumbing, pipe works, hoses, joints,
threads and any other connections for any leaks. If there are any adjustments
made, restart this test and review all the connections again.
46. You must ensure the product works as it normally would: immediately test
all functions of the product to possibly find any errors. After testing, place the
tub against the wall(s) and seal the wall joints with an acid-free caulking agent
and then allow it to cure sufficiently before any further use.
Additional Precautions:
47. It is not generally recommended to use bath oils in whirlpool bathtubs, as
the oil residue can stick to the side walls of the tub and plumbing. Clean the
whirlpool system after any such uses.
48. It is not recommended to use coarse grain bath salts with the whirlpool
function, as it may enter the water pump and damage or cause additional wear
onto its internal components.

Maintenance:
Recommended cleaning the whirlpool features monthly with a whirlpool clean-
ing solution from your local hardware store. Follow the instructions of the
whirlpool cleaning solution. If not cleaned regularly you may notice black flakes
in the bath – if this happens you should clean the whirlpool system.
Consider cleaning the whirlpool system with whirlpool cleaning solution re-
peatedly until the black flakes disappear. Soap scum, hair, dead skin, skin care
products, oil, grease and/or bacteria can contaminate your whirlpool sys-tem, it
is important
to clean regularly.
Consider cleaning the whirlpool system using a cup of chlorine bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) and the minimum amount of warm or hot water to activate the
(water-level sensor) whirlpool system, in between regular cleanings with
whirlpool cleaning solution. Thoroughly flush and rinse the bathtub and
whirlpool system before use. (This is not meant as a substitute for whirlpool
cleaning solution)
The drain can be clogged by hair or soap scum and should be cleaned regu-
larly. Cleaning schedule is based off usage conditions; monitor time frame for
any slowing of drainage, and then set cleaning schedule.
Poor maintenance, infrequent, or irregular cleaning can cause damage to the
faucets or jets. Cleaning schedule is based off usage conditions; generally,
more frequent light cleanings are better than less frequent, heavy cleanings.
When cleaning the chrome parts, do not use cleaning compounds or instru-
ments with abrasives or harsh chemicals. Do not try to remove stains with hard
objects, such as blades or screwdrivers.
When cleaning the acrylic surfaces of the bathtub, use a soft sponge and a
detergent without ammonia, acetone or other harsh chemicals, to prevent sur-
faces from getting dulled or damaged.
Dulled surfaces can be refinished with an acrylic polishing compound (follow
instructions of polishing compound); first spot test in a non-visible surface area.
Warning: The use of cleaning materials other than those recommended by the
manufacturer can result in damage to the bathtub, whirlpool apparatus, or
other hardware. Spot test in non-visible area.
Warning: Any service, adjustment or repair is only recommended by an expe-
rienced professional. Only consider a licensed professional for all installation,
servicing or repair work.
