TUB CARE

 MAINTENANCE

 

DriftBath Cleaning

Before tub is used, remove all debris and clean tub. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE ACRYLIC FINISH. Use 

a non-abrasive detergent and rinse well after cleaning. 

•   Fill the tub with HOT water to a level 2” above the highest water port.

•   Add 4-6 tablespoons of low-sudsing automatic liquid dishwashing detergent and no more than 24-48 ounces of regular 

household bleach to the water (do not use splashless bleach).

•   Operate tub for 10 minutes. Drain.

•   Refill with cold water and operate tub for 5 minutes. Drain.

NOTE: 

DO NOT USE OIL OR OIL BASED BATH ADDITIVES. If you want to use any kind of bath additive, use only a small 

amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance; the DriftBath action may intensify the foaming properties of soaps. 

The use of certain bubble baths and bath additives may increase the level of accumulations of bath residue in the DriftBath 

system. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products. Bath salts and Epsom salts are ok.

If you have followed the monthly purging instructions and still have an excess accumulation of bath residue and desire 

an alternative cleaning mechanism, we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by Stearns Packaging 

Corporation to rectify this condition. This may be obtained by calling Aquatic, at (800) 945-2726. It is recommended 

that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER 

SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to purge your DriftBath system at least once a month with a low 

foaming detergent and bleach. 

Surface Cleaning

Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. Never use 

abrasive cleaners. Do not allow your Lucite

®

 acrylic surface to come into contact with products such as acetone (nail polish 

remover), nail polish, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. 

Clean grease, oil, paint, and ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

Surface Scratch Removal

Minor scratches may be removed by polishing your tub with a non-abrasive car polish, followed by buffing. Deeper scratches 

can be removed by:

   

 

•  Sanding with wet 400 grit sandpaper.

•  Sanding with wet 600 grit sandpaper.

•  Sanding with wet micro-grit sandpaper.

•  Buffing out using car polish.

CAUTION: 

Do not wax/polish the bottom interior of the tub, as it can become slippery.

 REPAIR

The installation and service of your bath should be performed only by a qualified service technician. Remember when 

contacting your dealer 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 pump on the backside of the tub.

NOTE:

 ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY AQUATIC BEFORE WORK IS STARTED. FOR SERVICE, 

ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR DEALER.

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 tub. Any failure to comply may void your warranty.
