GENERAL OPERATION PROCEDURES 

•  Make sure there is no water in the tub before opening the door and/or attempting to enter.

 

•  Enter the tub and securly latch door by lowering lever handle.  
•  Fill tub to 1-2” above highest jet for whirlpool, or if a soaking or air bath, to 2” below overflow. 

•  IMPORTANT: DO NOT open door while bathing or during the draining process. When water level is  

 

2”  below the overflow, it will take approximately 3 mintues to fully drain the tub.

NOTE: The door seal is designed to last for a lifetime of use. However, never leave the door in  the 

latched position when the tub is not in use. This will ensure that your door seal  retains its elasticity 

and water tight seal.

Whirlpool Operating Instructions

•  Depress the push button located on deck of tub once to turn on, again to turn off.
•  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.

•  All jets on a whirlpool bath are designed to operate individually. Open or close jets by twisting the outer ring.

Air Bath Operating Instructions

•  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.

•  The air blower has three speeds. The start up speed is high. Pressing the on/off button a second 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 designed 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 frequently used 

as a shower or the air systm is not used while bathing, it is recommended to manually purge the system. After 

using the tub, briefly turn the system on, then turn off. You do not need to fill the bath before doing this. 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.

Optional Equipment Operating Instructions

Inline Heater for Whirlpools -

 The factory installed inline heater used on MTI whirlpool systems is de-

signed to maintain the water temperature during the hydrotherapy bath. The heater is not designed to heat cold 

water. The heater will activate with the pump with no external switch required. The thermostat is pre-set at 102

F. 

the heater must be plugged into a 110 VAC, 15 AMP, GFCI protected outlet. 

Inline Heater for Soakers and Air Baths

 - The inline heating system for soaking tubs and air baths 

is manually activated by an on/off device. This system gently recirculates the bath water through the inline heater, 

with negligible disturbance to the water. The heatsoak system requires a dedicated 110 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI pro-

tected outlet. Both the pump and inline heater must be plugged in for system to operate properly.

Radiance 

-

 

To turn the system on, press the left button on the touch pad. The word “On” will appear 

briefly, then a “1-2” will appear.  This indicates that both zones are heating. To turn on just one zone, 

press the right temperature button. A “1” will appear. This indicates that one zone is heating. Pressing 

the button again will change the readout to “2”, indicating that only the second zone is heating. Press the 

temperature button a third time and “1-2” will appear, indicating that both zones are now heating. A small 

flashing light will continually circle the keypad, indicating that the air system is on. Radiance is designed 

to be left on continually as the initial heating can take several hours. The system uses less energy than 

a standard light bulb. To turn the system off, press the button once. The word “Off” will appear briefly 

before the keypad goes blank. The system will turn off should you experience a power surge or power 

failure.  Must have access to transformer box for future servicing - test prior to installing.
