Whirlpool Disinfecting Procedure 

Your Apollo Advantage™ Bathing System arrived with an Advantage™ Intro Pack which 
includes Cid-A-L™ II Quaternary Disinfectant. Cid-A-L™ II is used after each cleaning to 
effectively kill bath-borne bacteria, fungi and viruses. Your Advantage™ Bathing System is 
calibrated to dilute Cid-A-L™ II at the exact mixture stipulated by the manufacturer’s 
instructions. Use of other disinfectants is not recommended and could compromise the overall 
process. 

Whirlpool Bath Disinfecting Process 

Place the chair in the tub, release the carrier 
from the tub, and close the door. 

 

Close the Tub Drain. Turn the Selector Knob 
to "DISINFECTANT" and the Control Knob to 
"On.” 

 

Turn the whirlpool on. When there is about 2 
inches of disinfectant in the foot well, turn the 
whirlpool off. Turn the Control Knob to "Off." 

 

Lift seat bottom off chair, (pull up from back 
of seat). Use the disinfecting solution to scrub 
the tub, chair and underneath seat bottom. 
Leave wet for 10 minutes. Open the Tub Drain. 

 

After 10 minutes, turn the Selector Knob to 
"Rinse" and the Control Knob to "On.” Turn 
the whirlpool on. 

 

When clear water comes out of all the jets, turn 
the whirlpool off. Turn the Control Knob to 
"Off." 

 

Use the shower wand to rinse the tub and chair.
