USER SHOULD periodically flush operating system (not to exceed 90 days). As a minimum, shall consist of filling and running
system and draining. Universal Tubs recommends flushing with a mild solution of water and sanitizer such as chlorine or other
commercially available whirlpool bath flushing products.
DO NOT use abrasives. They may dull or scratch surface of the acrylic.
DO NOT use oil based solvents. Clean with only a damp cloth or mild detergent or any common glass cleaner.
DO NOT use bubble bath while the whirlpool is operating.
DO NOT turn on pump without water in the bathtub. To do so may cause damage to the pump.
DO NOT alter the position of the pump. To do so may void your warranty.
FOR MINOR SCRATCHES
The procedure to remove light surface scratches or burnish marks is quite easy. Simply apply rubbing compound to the affected
area and buff lightly. Then apply paste wax and gently buff again to return the original shine.
REPAIR TO THE SURFACE
Should a deep scratch or more serious damage be encountered, please call Technical Service at Universal Tubs for assistance.
When calling, please have the serial number, date of purchase, and color of your tub.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
To clean the pipes and pump:
Fill the tub and pour a cup of bleach (or dishwasher soap [i.e. Cascade] if bleach is not available), run pump for five (5) minutes
and let it sit for ten (10) minutes. Run the pump for five (5) minutes, then rinse two (2) times. Wipe off the surface after the rinse
because the bleach may discolor some color trimmings.
After using bleach or dishwasher soap, you should follow this cleaning procedure:
Fill the tub with water and run the pump for 5 minutes, then rinse it 2 times. Clean with a soft damp cloth, do not use abrasive
cleaners as they may scratch and dull surface of the unit.
