OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR WALK-IN TUB
Your Walk-In Tub was specifically designed to deliver dependable operation. All Walk-In Tub
hydro massage system fittings are manufactured of strong, highly inert brass and PVC materials to prevent
water discoloration and ensure long life. The electrical components also conform to all of the applicable
safety standards. Each Walk-In Tub system is thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the
factory to ensure your continued enjoyment and peace of mind.
An automatic drying cycle that lasts one minute will start 20 minutes after the blower is turned off.
There is a spring check valve at each air jet, but should water somehow still get in the lines, particularly
when showering in the tub, this drying cycle will blow it out.
Do not add any liquids or powders to the water, especially foamy, bubbly or oily types. Do not
use the tub with the hydro massage system activated if you have taken alcohol, drugs or medication,
which can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
Limit your first session to no more than 10 minutes. Use of the tub too long at an excessively
warm temperature for your body may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above the normal
body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). This level may vary by individuals and conditions. Consult your doctor
regarding a safe temperature for your use of the tub. The symptoms of hyperthermia include in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
1. Failure to perceive heat
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the hydro massage
3. Unawareness of impending hazard
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women
5. Physical inability to exit the Walk-In tub
6. Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning
For regular maintenance-type cleaning, proceed as follows once a week:
1. Check for stubborn spots. Oily or greasy spots can be lifted with denatured alcohol.
2. In order to keep the seal and the door jamb clean and free of dirt or debris of any kind, it is very
important that the door jamb and the seal to be cleaned with a mild dishwashing detergent and
warm water using a soft cloth.
3. Wash all exposed surfaces of the bathtub.
4. Rinse and wipe dry.
If your tub is equipped with the water jet system, then:
1. Once a month, clean the entire system using liquid automatic dishwashing detergent, which will
remove body and bath oils, soap residue and other sources that can contribute to bacterial
growth in the hydro massage system.
2. Fill the tub to one inch above the highest jet and add one spoonful of liquid automatic
dishwashing detergent, turn on the water jet system for 15 minutes, and then drain the tub.
3. Now refill the tub with just fresh water and run the system for another 15 minutes to rinse out the
system, again drain the tub and wipe dry.
