CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Please refer
to
the diagrams to remove jet unit components for cleaning
We highly recommend the following cleaning regimen. You should always contact your local governing agency for
their specific cleaning and disinfecting requirements and regulations for pedicure spas. For your clients safety,
always use the regulations as a minimum standard for cleaning and disinfecting. Combining your states standards
with the regimen listed below will provide your clients with a safe and healthy pedicure spa environment experience.
Routine maintenance:
Powdered cleansers or abrasives are NOT RECOMMENDED. A clean towel or sponge, are all that are usually
needed. A soft bristled brush may be used when excessive residue is present. Use a mild soap and water solution
to clean the upholstery, but do not over wet. Wipe dry with a clean towel. No internal maintenance of the spa
components is necessary. Remove clean jet caps and spray with disinfectant after each use. For extra protection,
our recommendation is that the system be flushed daily or weekly depending on use. To flush the clean jet system
fill spa with hot water to just above the jets. Add disinfectant. Run whirlpool for 15 minutes, drain and then wipe dry
with clean soft cloth.
The use of oil based products can build up in the whirlpool system causing clogging in the jets. Adherence to the
above cleaning will minimize build up. We do not recommend the use of mineral oil based products.
TESTING/FLUSHING FOOT SPA
After
the
foot spa has been installed, fill
the
tub with water just above the jets. Carefully check for leaks at
the
drain and over flow. After checking
the
underside for leaks
,
turn on
the
system by pushing
the
whirlpool button
and watch for leaks as water circulates. Let the unit run
a
full cycle. Open drain plug for water discharge.
NOTE:
According to the Centers For Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), and the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), disinfecting occurs only when there is a reduction of pathogenic microbes at 99.999%.
Sanitizing is only a reduction of 99.9%. Cleaning of whirlpool pedicure spas requires surfactant and
chelating detergents that are low-foaming and have the ability to remove body oils, organic oil additives,
mineral oil, skin cells, nail clippings etc that can accumulate both in the basin and the jets
,
which may
become a fertile area for micro organisms to grow.
