Purging the Whirlpool System
To remove accumulations of bathtub residue from the whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool bathtub
be cleaned at least twice a month. For best results, however, we recommend that you clean your whirlpool bathtub
after each use with Systems Clean™, our exclusive two-part plumbing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool
bathtubs. Systems Clean™ is available through an authorized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us direct
at 1-800-288-4002.
Bathtub Additives
Do not use oil or oil-based bathtub additives.
If you want to use any kind of bathtub 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 bathtub oils, bubble baths, and bathtub additives may increase the level of accumulations
Of bathtub residue in the whirlpool system and may cause false reading of the water level sensors. If excess
accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products.
Shower Information
Because of the Finestra™ Walk-In Bath's unique design, a rigid shower door cannot readily be installed. If a shower is
desired, we recommend a hand-held shower be installed in conjunction with a shower curtain, as this will allow the
user to control the direction of the spray.
Proper installation of a shower is the responsibility of the installer. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for
damage to the unit or for water damage which might occur due to its installation.
Maintenance
To clean your bathtub, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid 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, use a fine grade automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of
automotive paste wax.
Never use abrasive household cleaners on any Jacuzzi Luxury Bath product.
Surface Repair
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. Call Jacuzzi Luxury Bath to find a service agent in your area.
Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance
Clean the suction cover/strainer of hair and debris when
necessary.
Remove the center screw and detach the suction
1
cover.
Clean the cover by backflushing debris from the holes.
2
Replace the suction cover immediately after cleaning.
3
When reinstalling, orient the cover/strainer with the
small notch at the bottom. The gasket must be inserted
into the groove of the cover/strainer before reinstalling
onto the suction fitting.
Keep hair a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) away
from the suction fitting at all times when the
whirlpool system is operating. Hair longer than
shoulder length should be secured close to the
head, or a bathing cap should be worn.
Do not operate the whirlpool system with the suction cover/strainer removed! It is a safety device and must
always be in place on the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair and body entrapment.
