ELECTRONIC SOFT TOUCH CONTROL - 

This is the on/off control switch for the whirlpool system. It bears the  

Hydro Systems logo. Press the logo once to turn the whirlpool system on. Press it again to turn the whirlpool system off. 

The whirlpool system is configured to run for thirty minutes and shut down automatically. If a longer bathing period is  

desired, press the logo to start it again. The whirlpool system will not  turn on until the jets are covered with water, if you 

have the optional water level protection. 

If you purchased your Hydro Systems bathtub with additional options, such as LED lighting or a Thermal Air System, a 

supplemental instructions manual should have been included in the start up package that came with your bathtub. You 

can also view instructional videos on how to operate your electronic control key pad at www.hydrosystem.com/techni-

cal-information/videos.  

WHIRLPOOL JETS -

 These are fully adjustable and directional. To adjust the flow of water coming from the jets, rotate 

the escutcheon. Clockwise will reduce flow, counter clockwise will increase flow. To adjust the direction of the jets, point 

the eyeball in the desired direction. 

ANTI-VORTEX SAFETY SUCTION - 

This is the intake where water is drawn in for the pump. Do not operate the  

whirlpool system without the suction cover in place.

USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Any service or maintenance other then described below should be performed by a qualified service 

representative. Call your Hydro Systems dealer for the name of a qualified service representative near you.

To maintain the “like new” look of your Hydro Systems acrylic or gelcoat bathtub, we recommend the following easy care 

procedures.

• 

Never use abrasive cleaners

• 

Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs such as Lysol Basin, Tub & Tile Cleaner®,  

   Glass Plus®, Simple Green®, Mr. Clean, and Top Job, or a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory® Liquid. Follow 

   the manufacturers’ directions and precausions. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth.

• 

Do not use products such as acetone (nail polish remover), dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, 

   wintergreen, etc.

• 

Use Isopropyl rubbing alcohol to clean grease oil, paint or ink. Dry with a clean soft cloth.

• 

Avoid using razor blades, putty knives, or other metal instruments that might scratch the surface. Small scratches can 

   be removed by applying a thin coat of automotive paste wax and buffing lightly with a clean cloth. For deeper scratches, 

   sand the surface lightly with 600 grit “wet or dry” sand paper, rub out with fine buffing compound, and apply a coat of wax.

WARNING: 

Flush the whirlpool system periodically (at least every 90 days) as follows: Fill the bathtub with water, add 

1/2 cup of household bleach, run the whirlpool system for 10 minutes, drain completely. Rinse the bathtub and refill with 

water, run the whirlpool system for 5 minutes, drain completely. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
