01 SAFETY INFORMATION
General
Risk of death! Danger of electric shock!
Ensure that no electrical devices are operating within the bath or in
close proximity while using it. If an electrical device that is plugged in
comes into contact with the water or oneself when bathing, fatal electric shocks
may occur.
With appropriate supervision, this product can be used by children from age 8
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or metal capacity, as well
as those without knowledge and experience of the product. Do not
allow children to play with the product. Do not allow children to clean
and perform maintenance on the product without supervision.
The bath with back therapy/Aquapuncture can be used by anyone in good
cardiovascular health. If you are uncertain in this regard or if you have ques-
tions, please consult your doctor.
Do not use the bath with back therapy/Aquapuncture if you are suffering from
cold-like symptoms, infectious diseases, open wounds or inammations. We rec-
ommend waiting until you have fully healed before using it.
Only use Repabad bath additives. Using other bath additives risks damaging the
back therapy/Aquapuncture system.
Depending on the frequency of use, you should disinfect the bath with back
therapy/Aquapuncture approximately every 4 weeks. Only use Repabad disin-
fectant. If other agents are used, there is risk of damage to the bath.
The installation instructions are part of the operating instructions,
and must be stored together with them.
The human body nds a water temperature between 35 and 36°C to be most pleasant.
At a water temperature of 36°C, the bath duration should not exceed 20 minutes. At a water temper-
ature of 38°C, you should bathe for no more than 10 minutes.
In order to become accustomed to the invigorating massage effect, keep the massage time
short
initially. The massage duration can be increased over time to suit your preference. After use, you should
rest for at least as long as the time spent bathing.

03 DESIGN
04 BEFORE USE
05 DURING USE
The bath with back therapy/Aquapuncture is  tted with a jet pump installed under the bathtub. This
pump draws in the bath water and directs it into the bath via the conduit system and nozzles.
The jet pump is controlled via a key on the side of the bathtub.
- Rinse out the bath with cold water.
- Close the bathtub drain.
- Fill the bath with hot water.
Important: Since water must  ll part of the piping system before the bathtub can be  lled, it takes
some time for the water to visibly collect in the tub.
To enable the use of back therapy/Aquapuncture,  ll the bath up to around the over ow with
the user(s) inside.
Press the key on the side of the bathtub once to switch on the
pump. The LED illuminates when the pump is switched on.
Press the key again to switch the pump off.
If the LED  ashes when you press the key, there is not enough
water in the bath. In this case, add more water.
Safety shutdown
The pump switches off automatically 20 minutes after activation.
The pump remains in standby mode and can be reactivated at any time.
Operation

Loudspeaker safety shutdown
Whirlpool loudspeakers (a special accessory) are equipped with overload protection.
If the volume of the connected music system is set too high, overload protection is activated. This
results in the loudspeakers becoming considerably quieter or even being switched off. In this case, the
volume of the music system must be reduced immediately. After a short period the loudspeakers will
work normally again.
06 AFTER USE
07 DISINFECTION
First steps
- Switch off the pump
- Open the bathtub drain and drain the water out completely

Disinfectants cause skin irritation!
Ensure that you observe the safety instructions on the label of the disinfectant!
Keep disinfectants out of reach of children!
You must not bathe in the bath whilst it is being disinfected!

4 weeks. Only use Repabad disinfectant. If other agents are used, there is risk of
damage to the bath.

13 HOW TO BATHE CORRECTLY WITH BACK THERAPY/AQUAPUNCTURE
Immerse yourself in pleasantly hot water. The massage relaxes your muscles, relieving tension.
It stimulates the metabolism, has a positive effect on the vegetative nervous system, the brain releases
“happy hormones” – you feel good all over.
We have compiled a few tips here to help you better understand the positive effect
of the bath thera-
py and Aquapuncture on body and mind, along with information on how to use these functions correct-
ly.
The rules
1. The feeling and experience of the back therapy/Aquapuncture function varies depending on the
combination of time, massage and water temperature. Choose a short, cool massage to leave the
bath feeling refreshed. A longer and warmer massage leaves one feeling relaxed and calm.
2. Scented oils have a lasting effect, depending on the feeling desired. If you wish to feel t after
bathing,
use an energising aroma such as eucalyptus or lemon.
Only use appropriate bath additives that produce little to no
foam.
Effect on the body and wellness
- The connective tissue, muscles etc. feel weightless and there-
fore tension-free.
- The heat and moisture open the pores of the skin.
- The heat relieves tension and cramps, and
gives a relaxed massage.
- The temperature on the surface of our skin determines how we feel.
- As a result of the opened pores, the skin’s oxygen intake increases.
- The oxygen is transported better due to the even stimulation of blood ow.
- The aroma substances are both transported through the air and absorbed more effectively.
- The massaging movement has a relaxing effect, stimulating circulation.
- The high humidity soothes the respiratory tract, stabilising the mucous membranes.
Bathing tips

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapeutic bath additives improve physical and mental
well-being. Some aroma molecules penetrate the skin and then
produce their effect, others stimulate the nerve endings when
inhaled.
The nose registers the aromatic signals in just 2 seconds and passes
them on to the part of the brain responsible for the memory and
emotions.
Aromatherapeutic bath additives remain in the air for approximately 15 minutes; the nose becomes
accustomed to the aroma quickly and stops transmitting scent signals. Nonetheless, you should not
put more bath additives in the bath water. The concentration is sufcient to achieve the desired reac-
tion. Too many aroma signals have the opposite effect.
Rules for aromatherapy
Only add aromatherapy bath additives once the bath is full and
stir thoroughly so that the oil droplets are distributed evenly.
Once the body has absorbed aromatherapeutic bath additives via the skin, they remain effective for
approximately 4-6 hours, provided no alcohol or beverages with caffeine are consumed.
Aromatic steam evaporates, so always close the door and windows in the bathroom if aromathera-
peutic bath additives are used.
If the water temperature is high, the oil penetrates the skin more easily, so be careful with dosage if
bath additives are used in hot bath water.
Aromatherapeutic bath additives
Bath additives from Repabad are ideally suited for use in baths with bath therapy/Aquapuncture and
whirlpools, as they only foam a little and leave no deposits in the system. Their proportions of essential
oils make them ideal care for the body and soothing to the soul. Selection: Mountain Pine, Eucalyptus,
Camomile, Lavender, Mango, Rose Garden and Lemon Grass.
Please observe:
The tips listed above are general recommendations.
If you have health problems, please consult a doctor rst.
