rubbing compounds.

the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for recommendations 
on surface repair.

FLUShINg / SANITIZINg

Upon  start-up  and  not  to  exceed  90  days,  your  bath  and 
plumbing system should be flushed. To do so, close the drain 
and fill the bath with warm water to at least two (2) inches [5.1 
cm] above the highest jet. Pour in Jason Bath System Cleaner 
and follow the directions on the bottle. DO NOT use bleach 
or other chlorinated cleansers directly on the metal trim.

SUCTION FITTINg CLeANINg

The cloth suction EZ Clean Pre-Filter is designed to allow 
for  easy  cleaning.    If  the  EZ  Clean  Pre-Filter  becomes 
soiled or dirty, it should be removed and cleaned with soap 
and water.  Once clean, the pre-filter can be fitted around 
the  suction  cover  (See 

Figure  16).

  Replacement  pre-

filters are available from your Jason dealer or from www.
jasoninternational.com.  Periodically  the  internal  screen 
filter should be removed and cleaned with soap and water.  
The  suction  cover  can  be  removed  by  unscrewing  the 
single Philips head screw in the center of the suction cover.  
Remove the internal screen filter and clean with soap and 
water.    Replace  the  screen  into  suction  cover  as  shown 
and  reassemble  the  cover  to  the  fitting 

(See  Figure  15).

 

NOTE:

 

To ensure safety and avoid equipment damage, 

never operate the system without the Pre-filter, internal 

screen filter and suction cover installed.

IMPROPER INSTALLATIONS OR LEAKS.

To avoid having your plumbing fixtures become a source of 
unwanted humidity, please make sure the following steps 
are taken prior to installation.

1.  Make  sure  the  area  where  the  bathtub  or  shower  is 

installed is well vented and allows enough ventilation and 
air circulation to dry the bathroom environment within a 
short time after taking a bath or shower.

2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with an 

integral tile flange or make sure a tile flange kit or a similar 
mechanical barrier is installed to prevent shower spray, 
splash, or overflow to leak behind the bathtub.

3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your therapy bath 

before it is roughed in to make sure there are no leaks and 
it is installed with proper access to bath equipment. 

4. Make sure that all the plumbing and fixtures in the bathroom 

are in good working order and have no leaks.

5. Do not use carpeting or other materials or furniture, which 

can hold moisture in your bathroom.

6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces which 

are regularly exposed to moisture. 

7.  Clean  and  disinfect  humidifier  and  dehumidifiers  as 

recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air filter 
on the HVAC unit once a month.

8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears by using 

a  detergent/soapy  solution  and  appropriate  household 
cleaner. Always use gloves during cleaning. Dispose of 
any sponges or rags used to clean mold.

CLeANINg

With minimum care, your acrylic-surfaced bath will retain its 
high-luster finish for many years. For regular cleaning use 
Jason Bath Cleaner or a mild NONABRASIVE liquid detergent 
solution (i.e. glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth or sponge. 
Do not run the hydrotherapy system with foaming cleaners 
or soaps. Rinse the bath thoroughly after cleaning.
