Maintenance:

Recommended cleaning the whirlpool features monthly with a whirlpool clean-

ing solution from your local hardware store. Follow the instructions of the

whirlpool cleaning solution. If not cleaned regularly you may notice black

flakes 

in the bath – if this happens you should clean the whirlpool system.

Consider cleaning the whirlpool system with whirlpool cleaning solution re-

peatedly until the black flakes disappear. Soap scum, hair, dead skin, skin

care 

products, oil, grease and/or bacteria can contaminate your whirlpool sys-tem, it 

is important

to clean regularly.

Consider cleaning the whirlpool system using a cup of chlorine bleach (

sodium 

hypochlorite

)

and the minimum amount of warm or hot water to activate the

(water-level sensor) whirlpool system, in between regular cleanings with

whirlpool cleaning solution. Thoroughly flush and rinse the bathtub and

whirlpool system before use. (This is not meant as a substitute for whirlpool

cleaning solution)

The drain can be clogged by hair or soap scum and should be cleaned regu-

larly. Cleaning schedule is based off usage conditions; monitor time frame for

any slowing of drainage, and then set cleaning schedule.

Poor maintenance, infrequent, or irregular cleaning can cause damage to the

faucets or jets. Cleaning schedule is based off usage conditions; generally,

more frequent light cleanings are better than less frequent, heavy cleanings.

When cleaning the chrome parts, do not use cleaning compounds or instru-

ments with abrasives or harsh chemicals. Do not try to remove stains with

hard 

objects, such as blades or screwdrivers.

When cleaning the acrylic surfaces of the bathtub, use a soft sponge and a

detergent without ammonia, acetone or other harsh chemicals, to prevent sur-

faces from getting dulled or damaged.

Dulled surfaces can be refinished with an acrylic polishing compound (follow

instructions of polishing compound); first spot test in a non-visible surface

area.

Warning:

 The use of cleaning materials other than those recommended by

the 

manufacturer can result in damage to the bathtub, whirlpool apparatus, or

other hardware. Spot test in non-visible area.

Warning:

 Any service, adjustment or repair is only recommended by an expe-

rienced professional. Only consider a licensed professional for all installation,

servicing or repair work.
