Builders' Choice Owner's Manual & Installation Guide
•
For more difficult stains on your anti-skid floor,
a paste should be made of a cleanser such as Comet
®
*,
Spic-N-Span
®
*, etc. and spread out onto the floor. Allow the paste to sit for 5 - 10 minutes and then gently scrub
with a soft-bristled brush. To prevent scratches, the brush should be no rougher than the texture of a toothbrush.
•
For hard water stains,
calcium deposits, limescale or difficult soap scum after repeated attempts with the above
suggestions, you may try Lime-Away
®
* or white vinegar for removal of calcium or lime deposits. For soap scum,
general black grime or algae, chlorine bleach may be used with moderate scrubbing. In both instances the unit
should be rinsed carefully with cold water. Scrubbing is never recommended as it could damage the finish on your
floor. Always rinse off all remaining paste.
•
To restore a scratched or dull unit:
Use an automotive polishing compound applied with a clean cotton rag. Rub
scratches and dull areas vigorously. Wipe off residues. Follow with automotive wax treatment described above.
•
To remove adhesive:
Try 3-M
™
* Natural Cleaner, or rubbing alcohol and rub vigorously until the adhesive
dissolves and disappears. These solvents are highly flammable and must be used sparingly and with caution. Do
not smoke or permit others to do so. Make sure all nearby heating devices (including pilot lights) are extinguished.
Do not allow solvent to go down the drain. Make sure not to contact plastic drain grates or other synthetic
materials.
CAUTION:
When using any cleaning or polishing materials, make sure to read and follow all package instructions care-
fully. Wear rubber gloves at all times and avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing, rugs and furnishings. Make sure all
residues are rinsed off thoroughly.
Rubber mats:
If you use a rubber or plastic “anti-skid” mat, make sure to remove it from the unit after each shower to
avoid harm to the surface finish.
Hard Water:
Water in certain areas, if not wiped up after bathing/showering, may cause fading of some bath fixture
colors. This is a natural occurrence beyond Aquatic’s control. [See
AQUATIC LIMITED WARRANTY
on page 23.]
REPAIR
The installation and service of your whirlpool/soaker should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
Remember when contacting your distributor always have your serial number, proof of purchase and model number
available. This will ensure a quick response on warranty items. The model and serial numbers are located above the
blower on the backside of the whirlpool/soaker.
NOTE:
all warranty repairs must be authorized by aquatic before work is started. For service, always contact
your distributor.
CAUTION:
Care should be taken to prevent inappropriate chemicals coming in contact with the Lucite
®
acrylic surface.
Please read and observe all instructions and/or warnings on containers containing substances you contemplate applying
to your whirlpool/soaker. Any failure to comply may void your warranty.
Model & Serial Number
The tub model and serial numbers are
located near the equipment area on
the backside of the bathtub. An access
panel should be placed by the installer
at this location.
