Cleaning and Maintenance
Total Massages and Air Baths are equipped with an Automatic Cleaning and Purge Cycle for the air blower only.
The air blower has a pre-programmed cleaning and purge cycle built in to expel the remaining water in the air
channels. It activates within 20 minutes after the Air Bath is turned off and then blows for about 2 to 3 minutes.
After the cycle is completed it will shut off automatically. There is nothing to be alarmed about if you hear a
blowing noise coming from the tub after the tub has been turned off. The noise you hear is the cleaning cycle in
operation.
For both hydro massages jetted tubs & total massages, the whirlpool pump and hose circulation system should be
flushed before first use and on a monthly basis when product is under normal use. Below are the recommended
procedures for cleaning:
DO NOT RUN WHIRLPOOL DRY. Fill the tub with hot water 2-3 inches above the jets and add 2-3 tablespoons of
Lysol™, Pine sol™ or similar detergents.
• Switch on whirlpool and run for 10 minutes.
• Drain tub completely.
• Fill tub with cold water above jets.
• Switch on whirlpool and run for 5 minutes.
• Drain tub completely.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS as they will scratch and dull the surface of the acrylic.
Plaster can be removed using a sharpened wooden stick. DO NOT USE METAL SCRAPERS, WIRE BRUSHES OR
OTHER HARSH ABRASIVE TOOLS. Usually a mild detergent will remove construction debris. More stubborn debris
may be removed with denatured alcohol, or Clorox Soft Scrub® cleaner. Light scratches and dulled areas may be
restored to original luster by rubbing with an automotive type cleaning compound such as DuPont White Polishing
Compound®.
Repair Procedures
Most minor scratches (up to 1/64” deep) and cigarette burns can be removed by sanding the area with #180 or #240 wet or
dry sand paper and progressing down to #600 or #1200 grit. Finally, apply light buffing compound and buff area with a clean
stitched cotton buffing pad or equivalent. Use an extra application of fine buffing compound if necessary.
