INTRODUCTION

This  manual  contains  all  of  the  information  needed  for  the 
proper  installation  and  operation  of  your  Jason  MicroSilk-
Whirlpool bath. The bath has been designed to give you years 
of relaxing trouble-free service, provided the unit is maintained 
and operated in accordance with these instructions.

Thoroughly  clean  and  disinfect  the  unit  as  described  in 
the

section of this owner’s manual before its first 

use and periodically thereafter.

CAUTION:

  Keep  hair,  towels,  and  clothing  away  from  the 

suction fitting whenever the equipment is On. Never operate

FeATUReS AND CONTROLS

STANDARD AND PReMIeR eDITION  

MICROSILK-WhIRLPOOL

The Jason Standard Edition MicroSilk-Whirlpool bath provides 
both a Microbubble generator unit and a whirlpool bath system. 
The whirlpool bath system includes a quiet 1 1/2-HP, 1 speed 
pump;  an  electronic  control  with  a  low  water  level  sensor 
to prevent the pump from operating without water; flow and 
pressure  sensors  to  ensure  proper  pump  operation;  and  a 
20-minute timer.

The Jason Premier Edition MicroSilk-Whirlpool bath provides 
all the features of the Standard Edition with the included 
benefits of a 1 1/2-HP, 1 speed pump combination pump/
heater, LED Chromatherapy Mood Light, and an Ozone 
Sanitation system. 

 

 Standard/PremierTouchpad

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

SIgNATURe eDITION MICROSILK-WhIRLPOOL 

The Jason Signature Edition MicroSilk-Whirlpool bath 
includes both a Microbubble generator unit and a whirlpool 
bath system. The whirlpool bath system includes a quiet 

1 1/2-HP, 3 speed pump; Automatic 1.5kW Heater, 
Chromatherapy mood light, Automatic Ozone System that 
will be operated any time the pump is powered; a digital 
control with LCD display window; low water and temperature 
sensors; flow and pressure sensors to ensure proper pump 
operation; 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

o

 F) and time remaining. The Signature Edition touchpad 

allows  the  bather  to  control  the  MicroSilk  unit,  pump,  LED 
mood  light  and  optional  jetted  neck  pillow.  A  built  in  timer 
shuts  the  pump  off  20  minutes  after  being  activated. 

 

Signature Remote Conrol

In addition to the main control touchpad installed on the bath 
deck,  a  floating,  waterproof  Universal  Remote  Control  is 
provided with all Signature Edition MicroSilk-Whirlpool baths. 
This  remote  control  provides  the  same  control  functions 
as  teh  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.

Jets

Strategically placed whirlpool jets are provided for complete 
enjoyment  of  your  bath.  The  jets  are  specially  designed 
for  maximum  whirlpool  action  with  either  directional  or 
rotational capabilities. By changing the direction of the jets, 
you can concentrate the massaging jet stream to your area 
of  preference.  You  can  also  individually  adjust  the  flow  of 
each whirlpool jet. Strategically placed MicroSilk jets are also 
provided for complete enjoyment of your bath. 

Air Volume Control

Two air controls are conveniently located for bather control. 
Turning  the  knob  counter-clockwise  increases  the  air  flow 
and turning the knob clockwise decreases the air flow. For 
maximum whirlpool effect, open the air controls completely. 
Restriction of the air controls will produce fewer air bubbles 
and a reduction in hydrotherapy performance. 

Pumps

Pumps  provided  on  Jason  baths  are  factory  tested  when 
assembled and retested after installation on the bath. These 
pumps are of efficient design incorporating high quality long 
life seals which provide superior service. However, should the 
pump need service, suction barbs and discharge unions are 
provided for easy pump removal.
