Owners of fill and drain whirlpool bathtubs need to know basic information concerning water quality: how it affects
performance and enjoyment of the operation of their tubs, and steps that can be taken by the owner to correct
related problems. Important issues are the microbiological and chemical quality of the water.
Microbes are present in water supplied by individual wells or water systems and even in the air around us. These
microbes are usually in amounts below what is noticeable. Microbes from the water or air or from a bathers body may
settle on wetted surfaces such as a whirlpool bathtub’s surface or piping systems where they can grow in numbers
where we can notice them. With regards to whirlpool bathtubs, brown/black fungi/mold or pigmented (colored)
bacteria can be noted.
Fungi and mold are always present. The levels are usually such that we do not notice them. When
moisture and temperature are sufficient, the organisms will grow to levels that we may smell and/or see. The best
example of such growth is the very common black growth on the bottom of shower curtains. The best solution to
keep these surfaces free from growth is frequent cleaning.
Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners. Do not allow your Lucite® acrylic surface to come into contact with products such
as acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc. Remove
dust with a soft, dry cloth. Clean grease, oil, paint, and ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
All Infinity Series jets are removable, and can simply be put into the dishwasher for easy cleaning. See Jet Operation
Instructions for removal, pages 18-20. (Note: Use top rack of dishwasher and remove before the drying cycle starts.)
Minor scratches may be removed by polishing your tub with a non-abrasive car polish, followed by buffing. Deeper
scratches can be removed by:
• Sanding with wet 400 grit sandpaper.
• Sanding with wet 600 grit sandpaper.
• Sanding with wet micro-grit sandpaper.
• Buff out using car polish.
NOTE: ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY AQUATIC BEFORE WORK IS STARTED. FOR
SERVICE, ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR DEALER.
CAUTION: Care should be taken to prevent inappropriate chemicals coming in contact with the Lucite® acrylic
surface. Please read and observe all instructions and/or warnings on containers containing substances you
contemplate applying to your whirlpool. Any failure to comply may void your warranty.
