inlet stub-out position, three (3) water inlet stub-out
positions have been indicated on the template. Choose
the one that is preferable for your installation.

drain location must be installed according to the template. This
location is critical to the proper installation of this product.
NOTE: You must keep the template, it will be needed
during the next step of the installation process. See
Figure 2.
NOTE: The skirt is designed to accommodate both
an end drain (RE630P) and a center drain (RC630P)
model. Refer to Figure 2 to determine which cut-outs
are designed for use with your particular model.
8. After the finished floor is installed, position the installation
template on the finished floor. Place the template to line
up with the existing floor drain location and orient the
template to the desired position.
NOTE: The sump area location cutout, and water inlet
stub-out location must line up with the template.
9.Tape the template to the finished floor using care to align both

the faucet to allow for sufficient overhang into the well
of the bath. This will ensure an unobstructed water flow
out of the faucet when filling the bath. Follow the faucet
manufacturers installation instructions.

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.
Note: Follow the manufacturers 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 finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and the plumbing tested for leaks.
1. Before water testing the bath, make sure that all plumbing
connections are tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. Fill and operate the bath. 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.
3. Inspect the plumbing for leaks.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
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
INSTALLATION 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. 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.
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 air 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.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage
penetrates the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for
recommendations on surface repair.
FLUSHING / SANITIZING
Upon start-up and not to exceed 90 days, your
AirMasseur®bath and plumbing system should be flushed.
Follow the Sani-Design™ Cleaning instructions provided
with the bath.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or electrical repair to a qualified 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 blower.

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 fire.
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 soaker 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 pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit whirlpool water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during soaker bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning. Never use the soaker 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 soaker bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a soaker 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.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
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 soaker bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
