 OPERATION

STANDARD AND PREMIER EDITION AIRMASSEUR

®

 

The Jason Standard Edition AirMasseur

®

 bath includes a 

variable-speed, 1-HP air blower with heater, automatic purge 
cycle; and three (3) massage modes: Continuous, Wave, or 
Pulse; an electronic control; and a 20-minute timer.

The Jason Premier Edition AirMasseur

®

 bath provides all the 

features of the Standard Edition with the included benefits 
of a LED Chromatherapy Mood Light, and an Ozone Sanita-
tion system.

Standard/Premier Touchpad
One main control touchpad mounted on the bath deck 
contains several icons used by the bather to control the 
blower, and LED mood light. A built in timer shuts the 
blower off 20 minutes after being activated. 

Standard/Premier Automatic Purge
Fifteen (15) minutes after the control has shut off the 
blower will start again for a two-minute purge cycle that 
dries the air channel. Note that the blower light will flash 
during the 15-minute pause before the purge cycle begins. 
Once the purge cycle begins, all indicators will light and 
the keypad operation will be disabled for two (2) minutes.

SIGNATURE EDITION AIRMASSEUR

®

      

The Jason Signature Edition AirMasseur

®

 bath includes a 

variable-speed, 1-HP air blower with heater, automatic purge 
cycle; and three (3) massage modes: Continuous, Wave, or 
Pulse; Chromatherapy mood light, Automatic Ozone System 
that will be operated any time the blower is powered; a digital 
control with LCD display window; low water and temperature 
sensors; and a 20-minute timer.

Signature Touchpad 
A main control touchpad mounted on the bath deck features a 
LCD readout which alternately indicates the water temperature 
(+/- 5°F) and time remaining. The Signature Edition touchpad 
allows the bather to control the blower, pump, LED mood 
light and optional jetted neck pillow. A built in timer shuts 
the pump and blower off 20 minutes after being activated.

Signature Automatic Purge
Twenty (20) minutes after the control has shut off the blower 
will start again for a two minute purge cycle that dries the air 
channel. Note that the LCD display will read “PURGE” and 
begin to countdown the 10 or 20 minute pause before the 
purge cycle begins. The readout will display “PURGE ON” 
during the purge cycle. Any time during the pause before the 
purge cycle begins, pressing and holding the Blower Speeds 
icon will reduce the pause from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. 
During the two-minute purge, pressing the “Blower On/Off” 
icon will stop the purge.

Signature Daily Purge 
The daily purge can be activated through the customized 
settings of the Signature Edition touchpad. When activated, 
the daily purge will start the blower for two-minutes at the 
same time every day to dry the air channel. See ‘Operating 
the Signature Edition AirMasseur Touchpad’ section for 
details on activating this setting.

Signature Remote Control 
In addition to the main control touchpad installed on the bath 
deck, a floating, waterproof Universal Remote Control is pro-
vided with all Signature Edition AirMasseur

®

 baths. This remote 

control provides the same control functions as the bath’s main 
control console, plus the bather may remotely operate a TV, 
DVD, VCR, CD, etc. Refer to the Instruction Manual provided 
with the remote control for detailed instructions.

Blower

The blower generates warm air and pushes it through the 
air jets. Blowers provided on Jason AirMasseur

®

 baths are 

factory tested when assembled and again retested after 
installation on the bath.

Filling And Draining
Close the drain and fill the bath with water to at least 10 
inches (25 cm) below bath deck. The inlet temperature should 
not exceed 40°C (104°F). When bath is in use, turn the unit 
Off before draining the water. The bath unit and its plumb-
ing are designed to drain after each use whether used as 
a hydrotherapy bath, soaking bath, or just taking a shower.
