INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
CLEANING
Remove all loose debris.1. Construction plaster or
excess grout can be removed with the use of a wood
(edge) trowel.
Paint or tar stains2. 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.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of3.
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 finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
Before water testing the bath,1. make sure any pump
unions are hand tight. Do not over tighten or use a pipe
wrench. This will damage the unions and cause leaking.
If the unit leaks with the unions hand tight, then loosen
the unions(s) and check the O-ring seal to ensure it is
properly seated.
Fill and operate the bath.2. Close the drain and fill the
bath with water to at least 10 inches [25 cm] below the
bath deck. The inlet temperature should not exceed 104°F
(40°C) as this could damage the acrylic surface. Refer
to the FILLING AND DRAINING section of this owner’s
manual for more information.
Inspect the plumbing for leaks.3.
Turn the equipment Off and then drain the water.4.
The bath unit and its plumbing are designed to drain
after each use whether used as a hydrotherapy bath,
soaking bath, or when taking a shower.

built in timer shuts the pump off 20 minutes after being activated.
Signature Remote Control
In addition to the main control touchpad installed on the bath
deck, a floating, waterproof Universal Remote Control is
provided with all Signature Edition MicroSilk baths. This remote
control provides the same control functions as the bath’s main
control console, plus the bather may remotely operate a TV,
DVD, VCR, CD, etc. Refer to the Instruction Manual provided
with the remote control for detailed instructions.
Jets
Strategically placed MicroSilk jets are provided for complete
enjoyment of your bath.
MicroSilk Unit
The MicroSilk generates oxygen rich microbubbles that fill
the bath. MicroSilk units provided on Jason baths are factory
tested when assembled and again retested after installation
on the bath.
MicroSilk Suction Fitting
The MicroSilk suction fitting is designed to provide a safe
water return to the pump. The suction fitting has an internal
filter screen and an external suction cover EZ Clean Pre-
Filter made from Lycra® material. The EZ Clean Pre-Filter is
designed to allow for easy cleaning. If the pre-filter becomes
soiled or dirty, it should be removed and cleaned with soap and
water. Periodically the internal filter screen should be removed
and cleaned with soap and water. The suction cover can be
removed by unscrewing the single Philips head screw in the
center of the suction cover (See the USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS section of this owner’s manual for cleaning
instructions). This will keep the system running properly.
Never operate the system without the pre-filter, internal
filter screen and suction cover installed.

FILLING AND DRAINING
Close the drain and fill the bath with water at least two
(2) inches (50mm) above the jets. The inlet temperature
should not exceed 40oC (104
oF) as this could damage
the acrylic surface. When bath is in use, turn the unit Off
before draining the water. The bath unit and its plumbing
are designed to drain after each use whether used as a
hydrotherapy bath, soaking bath, or just taking a shower.
NOTE: If the unit fails to operate, check the breaker panel
to insure that the circuit breaker is on. Check the GFCI by
testing and resetting it. Also check the water level in the
bath; it must be above the water level sensor located on
the sidewall of the bath for the pump to operate. If the unit
still fails to operate, refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide
section on page 15 of this manual. If the unit still fails
to operate and is out of warranty, contact an authorized
service technician for repair. If the unit is within the
warranty period, contact JASON Technical Services at
800-255-5766. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM.

MILDEW, FUNGI AND BACTERIA WHICH MAY BE HARMFUL TO
HEALTH THRIVE IN AREAS WITH CONTINUED HIGH HUMIDITY
LEVELS;THEREFORE,EVERYPRECAUTIONSHOULDBETAKENTO
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 fixtures 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 flange or make sure a tile flange kit or a similar
mechanical barrier is installed to prevent shower spray,
splash, or overflow 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 fixtures 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 filter
on the HVAC unit once a month.
8.Cleanmoldysurfacesas soonasanymoldappearsby using
a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate household

CLEANING
With minimum care, your acrylic-surfaced bath will retain its
high-luster finish 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. Buff the surface with
a clean, soft cloth. Do not use sandpaper, steel wool, or
abrasive rubbing compounds.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS.
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your therapy bath. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock, or fire.
WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
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 therapy 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, dizzi-
ness 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 pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit therapy bath water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during therapy bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning. Never use the therapy bath while under the influence 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 therapy bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a therapy bath since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly. Do not operate this unit unless the suction cover is at-
tached over the suction inlet fitting and the jet assemblies are installed. There should be at least two (2) inches of water
above the highest jet location during therapy bath operation. NEVER RUN UNIT DRY.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
This unit 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
qualified 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 therapy bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
