Check the power connection cord for damages (current & potential equalization).
Annually

Maintenance and inspection by QUALIFIED STAFF.

Movable components have to be maintained and inspected regularly because they are classified as wear parts
(e.g. motor, fittings, hoses, connections, pipe interrupters).
•
Inspection of electrical installation and equipment according to local requirements should be carried out
annually.
Every 5 Years
•
Exchange/replace all connecting hot/cold water hoses.
After Approximately 12 Years
•
EZ Way recommends that both actuators and control system are replaced.
Maintenance and/or repairs may only be carried out by qualified staff. Improper maintenance and/or repair will
void the warranty.
Please note: Iodine, bromine, and methylene blue can discolor the fiberglass.
The recommended frequency of these maintenance procedures will depend on the hardness of your water supply
and how often the equipment is used. It is good practice to establish these routine procedures on a weekly basis
and then adjust the frequency as your conditions indicate.
All mechanical parts inside the bathtub panel are maintenance free.
