MAINTENANCE AND CARE
INITIAL CLEANING:
Before tub is used, the whirlpool system should be cleaned and disinfected. Remove all debris and clean tub
before putting whirlpool into service. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE ACRYLIC FINISH. Use a
non-abrasive detergent and rinse well after cleaning.
• Fill the tub with HOT water to a level 2" above the highest jet.
• Add 2 teaspoons of low-sudsing automatic dishwashing detergent and no more than 4 ounces of household
bleach to the water.
• Operate whirlpool for 10 minutes. Drain. Note: To effectively clean both the whirlpool and air bath system,
you must operate them both. (See sections entitled “Infinity On/Off with Heater Control”
[Diagram 6A] and “Infinity Air Bath Control” [Diagram 6C], pages 16-17).
• Refill with cold water and operate whirlpool for 5 minutes. Drain.
WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM CLEANING:
To remove accumulations of bath residue from the whirlpool system, we recommend that you purge it at least
twice a month, or more depending on usage. To do this, follow this simple procedure. Fill the bath with hot
water (not exceeding 140
o
F). Add to the hot water, 4 (6) tablespoons of low foaming detergent such as liquid
Cascade or Calgonite and 24 (48) oz. of liquid household bleach, such as Clorox [use lesser amounts shown
for 5-foot bathtubs, greater amounts in parentheses for larger bathtubs]. Run the bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain
the bath completely and refill with cold water only. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain the bath
completely. Depending on the usage and/or the content of the local water supply, more frequent purging may be
necessary.
AIR BATH SYSTEM CLEANING:
NOTE: DO NOT TURN THE PUMP ON DURING THE AIR BATH CLEANING.
Before tub is used, your air bath and plumbing system should be flushed. Close the drain. Fill bath with hot
water to at least six inches above air injector holes. Add 2 teaspoons of low sudsing automatic dishwashing
detergent and no more than 4 ounces of bleach to the water. DO NOT use bleach or other chlorinated cleansers
on metal trim surrounding control panels. Turn blower on for approximately two minutes to mix cleaner with
water. Shut blower down and allow cleaner to soak in the bath for approximately two hours. Turn ON air bath
and run for approximately five minutes. Turn air bath unit OFF and drain tub. Aquatic recommends the above
cleaning process on your air bath system once a month.
NOTE: DO NOT USE OIL OR OIL BASED BATH ADDITIVES.
If you want to use any kind of bath additive, use only a small amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance;
the whirlpool action intensifies the foaming properties of soaps.
The use of certain bubble baths and bath additives may increase the level of accumulations of bath residue in
the whirlpool system. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products.
If you have followed the monthly purging instructions and still have an excess accumulation of bath residue and
desire an alternative cleaning mechanism, we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by
Stearns Packaging Corporation to rectify this condition. This may be obtained by calling Aquatic Industries, Inc.,
at (800) 555-5324. It is recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the
product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to
purge your whirlpool system at least twice a month with a low foaming detergent and bleach.
