INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS section of
this owner’s manual, prior to Installation, for humidity and mold
prevention suggestions.
1. Finish Frame A nish frame under the shell rim should
also always be constructed to support the bath deck
and ensure proper drainage toward the bath well. This
frame is not intended to support the full bath weight (see
Figures 1 & 2).
Jason oers a removable lateral skirt for most baths. The
skirts are available in matching acrylic colors and provide
convenient access to bath equipment, as well as an
excellent nished appearance. However, if Jason’s lateral
skirt is not used, an access panel MUST be provided to
enable nal electrical connections and service. Please
refer to the minimum recommended access panel size
listed in the Equipment Access Section of this manual.
If a Jason lateral skirt is to be used, the bath deck must
be leveled at 20.5” (52cm) from the support oor or the
skirt will not t properly.
Allow ample clearance for the equipment.
CAUTION: Ambient temperature under the bath
where equipment is installed must not exceed 122°F
(50°C).
2. 100% Silicone with mildew resistant properties should
be applied between the water resistant backer board and
the deck of the bath. NOTE: If you use a tile ange kit,
modify the framing to support the bath lip as shown in
Figure 1.
3. Install the drain and overow assembly to the bath shell
according to the instructions provided with the drain and
position the bath in the area of intended installation.
4. Finish plumbing rough-in of drain and overow
assembly. At this time, considerations should be made
for the position and mounting of the faucet set, as well as
all related plumbing.
5. Remove the packing board before installing the
bath. The bath is equipped with separate bath equip-
ment support bases which are joined for shipment with
packing boards. Detach the packing board from the bath
and from underneath the equipment.
WARNING: Any modification to the equipment is
not recommended and will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
6. Install the bath level for proper drainage. Jason baths
are designed to be supported at the base of the bath.
If the oor is smooth and level, the baths’ Level Form™
Base will provide proper drainage and support
(See Figure 3).
7. Mortar is required when the sub oor is not smooth
and level; when additional sound insulation is desired;
or when the bath is installed in a drop-in application. In
alcove installations, a bed of mortar may also be recom-
mended to aid in leveling the bath. NOTE: Do not use a
sand bed to install or level the bath.
8. Secure the bottom of all equipment mounts so that it
is level with the bottom of the bath. Position the bath
in the area of intended installation and cut the equipment
support strap(s) to allow the equipment to rest rmly on the
oor. We recommend securing the equipment mounts to
the oor with removable fasteners for ease of servicing.
9. Protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during
installation with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard
and/or plastic film. The acrylic surface of this bath has
been provided with a protective lm which helps protect
the bath during shipment and installation. Additional
protection may also be required to protect the acrylic
surface during installation. If the bath is tiled in, remove
the necessary portion of the lm when installing the tile.

CLEANING
1. Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or
excess grout can be removed with the use of a wood
(edge) trowel.
2. Paint or tar stains may need to be removed with a
cleaner such as paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl
alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Never allow the cleaner to
soak against the acrylic surface for long periods of time.
Always rinse the surface immediately following the use
of cleaners.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of
cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched
or dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic
polish, like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from
the Jason Dealer). It is always preferable to protect
the acrylic surface during installation to minimize
cleanup and prevent surface damage.
WATER TESTING
Before nishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
1. Fill and operate the bath. Close the drain and ll the
bath with water to at least 10 inches [25 cm] below the
bath deck. The inlet temperature should not exceed 40°C
(104°F).
2. Inspect the plumbing for leaks.

CLEANING
With minimum care, your acrylic-surfaced bath will retain its
high-luster nish for many years. For regular cleaning use
Jason Bath Cleaner or a mild NONABRASIVE liquid detergent
solution (i.e. glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth or sponge.
Do not run the hydrotherapy system with foaming cleaners
or soaps. Rinse the bath thoroughly after cleaning.
SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Areas with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored
by applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e. Novus
Plastic Polish No. 2, available at your Jason dealer), followed
by an application of acrylic paste wax. Bu the surface with a
clean soft cloth. Do not use sandpaper, steel wool, or abrasive
rubbing compounds.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage penetrates
the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for recommendations
on surface repair.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or electrical repair to a qualied service
technician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM. This can result in danger of electrical shock
or damage to the unit and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Remember, when contacting your dealer or service
representative, always have your serial number, proof of
purchase, and model number. This will insure a quick response
on warranty items. The serial number can be found on the
front page of this manual or on the small card adhered to the
back of the bath just above the equipment.
ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY
THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE WORK IS STARTED
HUMIDITY
WARNING: Avoid high humidity levels in your home.
Mold, mildew, fungi and bacteria which may be harmful
to health thrive in areas with continued high humidity
levels; therefore, every precaution should be taken to
make sure your plumbing fixtures including bathtubs,
therapy baths, or showers do not become a source of
high humidity due to improper installations or leaks.
To avoid having your plumbing xtures become a source of
unwanted humidity, please make sure the following steps
are taken prior to installation.
1. Make sure the area where the bathtub or shower is
installed is well vented and allows enough ventilation and
air circulation to dry the bathroom environment within a
short time after taking a bath or shower.
2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with an
integral tile ange or make sure a tile ange kit or a similar
mechanical barrier is installed to prevent shower spray,
splash, or overow to leak behind the bathtub.
3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your therapy bath
before it is roughed in to make sure there are no leaks
and it is installed with proper access to bath equipment.
4. Make sure that all the plumbing and xtures in the bathroom
are in good working order and have no leaks.
5. Do not use carpeting or other materials or furniture, which
can hold moisture in your bathroom.
6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces which
are regularly exposed to moisture.
7. Clean and disinfect humidifier and dehumidifiers as
recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air lter
on the HVAC unit once a month.
8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears
by using a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate
household cleaner. Always use gloves during cleaning.
Dispose of any sponges or rags used to clean mold.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS.
WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your bath. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or re.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
A. Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
C. The water in a bath should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by a shower
to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness,
and fainting, and it can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 -15
minutes) and for young children.
D. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of preg-
nancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit bath water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibil-
ity of drowning. Never use the bath while under the inuence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants, antihistamines,
vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
F. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a soaking bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a soaking bath since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may aect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath.
Electrical outlets in the bath area must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a GFCI. Such a device should
be installed by a licensed electrician and should be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test the GFCI, push the
TEST button. The GFCI should interrupt the power. Push the RESET button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI
fails to operate in this manner, there is the possibility of an electric shock. DO NOT USE. Disconnect the unit and have the
problem corrected by a qualied service technician.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not
exceed 40°C (104°F). The bath should be drained after each use. Each bather should start their bath with fresh water. Do
not use oil base additives in your whirlpool bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
