Installation Sheet
TESTING THE BATH
1 Installation is not complete until the bath has been water tested.
All baths are operationally tested at the factory and certied to be free of leaks. Transportation and handling may result in
leaks developing. It is necessary to test the bath while there is access to all sides of the bath.
2 The unit should be both static and operationally tested.
i. Seal the drain and ll the tub to a normal level.
ii. Allow the tub to stand for 5 minutes and then inspect all plumbing for leaks.
iii. After performing the preceding test, now operate each pump and inspect for leaks. Again inspect the unions around the
pump. If leaks persist from the unions after tightening; loosen the unions and insure that the O-ring is seated properly.
1. if the pumps do not operate;
a. Check the breaker to insure power is on
b. Check the connections at the switch and pump ends to insure they are securely attached.
3. Do not run any pumps or heaters unless the tub is lled with water to
a proper level. Damage due to dry running pumps is not covered under warranty.
4. If power is not available, then a hose should be used to ll the tub with water and a static test inspection performed.
Failure to perform these tests immediately after the tub is installed will make the installer liable for future repair
costs.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
Air Baths are equipped with an Automatic Cleaning and Purge Cycle
Air Baths have a preprogrammed 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 drained, blows for about 2 to 3 minutes and then shuts 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.
Pump and pipe circulation system should be ushed before rst 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 teaspoons of
low foaming detergent such as dishwashing machine detergent. Make certain the air control(s) are turned completely
clockwise and are off.
• Switch on whirlpool and run for 10 minutes.
• Drain tub completely.
• Fill tub with cold water above jets.
• Switch on whirlpool and run for 15 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®.
SAFETY FEATURES
The CLARKE PRODUCTS line is provided with a suction system that releases the vacuum of the pump when the suction
face becomes obstructed. This provides an extra margin of safety. The pump responds instantly when the suction system
detects an obstruction and goes into a “standby” mode allowing the obstruction to be safely removed. The pump instantly
attains full ow when the obstruction is removed. The suction system is a mechanical device that does not require springs
or moving parts, which may require servicing or limit durability.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the bath at least to 3 inches above the jets before activating the pump.
2. The pump is activated by an on/off switch. Each depression of the button switches the power either on or off. Do not
repeatedly depress the switch in rapid order if you do not see the whirlpool function right away, as it may take a few
seconds before you can see it fully operating.
3. If any factory installed ttings are removed; do not operate the unit. A safety hazard may occur.
4. Do not use bubble bath when you operate the whirlpool pump. This might cause excessive foaming.
5. Bath oils may be used; however their frequent use will require more frequent purging and cleaning of the systems.
6. Both air and whirlpool systems are plumbed in a way that water will drain from the plumbing easily.
7. There are no user serviceable parts located under the tub.
