WHIRLPOOL AND AIRBATH OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
WHIRLPOOL
1. MTI BASICS whirlpool baths are equipped with a factory installed on/off device. This elimi-
nates the need for an external switch, although one may have been provided by your install-
er. Check with your installer for location of switch. Starting motor with no water in the tub
could result in damage to the pump and internal seals and could void your warranty.
2. Fill tub approximately 1” above highest jet. Do not start pump until tub has been filled to speci-
fied level.
3. When you are ready to use the hydrotherapy system, activate the on/off device on the deck of
the tub.
4. Adjust the amount of air mixed with the water using the master air volume control located on
the deck or sidewall of the tub. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to increase the amount of
air and pressure in the system.
5. All jets on MTI BASICS whirlpool baths are designed to operate individually. Open or close jets by
twisting the outer ring.
6. Hydrotherapy jets can also be adjusted directionally.
7.
Bath oils or other petroleum based products are not recommended for use in MTI whirlpool baths.
These products have been shown to increase the possibility of bacteria growth within the system.
8. Bubble bath should only be used sparingly. The action of the system will greatly increase
the amount of bubbles. The system must also be cleaned after each use as described in
“Cleaning Instructions.”
AIR BATH
1. MTI BASICS air baths are equipped with a factory installed on/off device so an external switch
is not required. Simply press the on/off button located on the tub to start the air blower.
2. The air blower has three speeds. The start up speed is high. Pressing the on/off button a sec-
ond and third time activates the medium and low speeds respectively. The next press will turn
the air blower off and activate the delayed purge cycle. The purge cycle will start 20 minutes
after the blower is turned off and run for approximately 1-2 minutes. The purge system is de-
signed to dry out the air jets and keep the system clean.
NOTE:
The delayed automatic purge is only activated by turning the blower on and off. If the tub is frequent-
ly used as a shower or the air system is not used while bathing, it is recommended to manually purge the
system. After using the tub and draining completely, briefly turn the system on, then turn off. This will activate
the 20 minute delayed purge cycle and keep the system clean and sanitary. Do not touch the on/off button
during the purge cycle. Pressing the button will reset the cycle.
