BATH MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Bath
To clean your bath, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liq-
uid detergent solution. You can protect and restore the
gloss to a dulled acrylic surface by applying Meguiar's
#10 Mirror Glaze, a product specifically designed for
use on acrylic finishes. If Meguiar's is not available, an
acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax
is acceptable. Never use abrasive household clean-
ers on any Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath product.
Repairs to the Surface
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish
can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. Restore the gloss using Meguiar's Mirror
Glaze or automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic
surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Whirl-
pool Bath dealer for special instructions.
Purging the Whirlpool System
NOTE: THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM SHOULD BE
PURGED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH
To remove accumulations of bath residue from the
whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool
bath be purged at least twice a month. For best results,
however, we recommend that you purge your whirlpool
bath after each use using our exclusive two-part plum-
bing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool
baths. Systems Clean ™ is available through an autho-
rized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us
direct at 1-800-288-4002. Instructions for use: Imme-
diately after bathing and exiting the whirlpool bath, leave
the bath water in the tub and add hot water, if necessary,
so the water is at least 2" above the highest jet. Turn on
the unit without the aerator. Pour the contents of the
Systems Clean Packet 1 (taking care not to get the
material on yourself) into the bath near the intake for the
circulation pump. Repeat same process with Systems
Clean Packet 2. It is important to use Packet 1 before
Packet 2 to avoid a strong odor. Run the bath for 5 to
10 minutes. Drain completely and rinse any residue.
If you have followed the standard purging instructions
above and still have an excess accumulation of bath
residue and desire an alternative cleaning mechanism,
we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manu-
factured by Stearns Packaging to rectify this condition.
This may be obtained by contacting us at l-800-288-
4002. It is recommended that you follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer with the product. Re-
peated use may be necessary. SUPER SYSTEMS
CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to regu-
larly purge your whirlpool system with Systems Clean as
recommended.

Bath Additives
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 sub-
stance; the whirlpool action intensifies the foaming prop-
erties of soaps.
The use of certain bath oils, bubble baths and bath
additives may increase the level of accumulations of
bath residue in the whirlpool system. If excess accumu-
lations persist, you should discontinue use of these
products.
Spinning Neck Jets
If hair or other kind of debris gets caught in the bearings
of these jets, it could cause them to stop spinning. This
may require disassembly and cleaning. To do this,
simply grab the nozzle and pull straight out of the jet
housing. The roller bearing casing will be attached to the
nozzle. These can be separated by holding the casing
and pushing the nozzle out from the rear of the casing.
After cleaning, reassemble in reverse.
