OPERATION
Note: These instructions pertain to all bath products manu-
factured by Asteria Company. Not all features discussed in this
instruction pamphlet apply to all baths.
All baths manufactured by Asteria Company are designed for "fill
and drain," which means the bath should be drained after each use
and filled with fresh water by the next bather. This is a health precau-
tion, as these baths are not designed to hold water continuously like
pools or spas.
Once the bath is installed, remove any residue or foreign materi-
als left over from construction. Use turpentine or paint thinner to re-
move stubborn stains, paint or tar. Other dirt can be cleaned off with
a mild liquid detergent on a damp cloth. Scrape off plaster with a
wooden or plastic edge; do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes
or other metal tools, as they will damage the bath's surface.
Water Level
Close the drain and fill the bath until water is at least 2" above the
highest jet (see water line indicated in the illustration). Do not turn
on the whirlpool system at any time if the jets are not completely
immersed in water. Running the whirlpool system when there is
insufficient water in the bath could result in water spraying outside
the bath area. Running the whirlpool system without water will dam-
age the recirculating pump.
Controlling Whirlpool Action
The whirlpool action in your bath is influenced by three factors –
direction of flow, force of water, and force of air. All baths manufac-
tured by Asteria Company are equipped with directionally adjustable
jets which can be adjusted for direction and flow of air.
Direction: To change the direction of the water flow, swivel the jet
nozzle to the desired angle. The jets can be directed individually
toward any location on your body to provide a hydromassage. The
jets can also be adjusted so that they all point in the same direction
(clockwise or counterclockwise) to circulate the water in a circular
motion around the bath, causing a total whirlpool effect.
Force of Air: Two knobs located on the bath serve as controls for
the air induction system. The intensity of the hydromassage whirl-
pool action is determined by the amount of air inducted into the water.
As the amount of air is increased, the hydromassage action increases.
For maximum air induction, rotate the control knobs fully counter-
clockwise to the largest circles. For fewer air bubbles, decrease the
amount of air induction by rotating the control knob clockwise. When
the knobs are turned to the smallest circles, only water is being circu-
lated.
Magic Touch
®
Whirlpool Switch
The Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch, conveniently located
on the bath, allows you to turn the whirlpool system on and off while
in the bath. Simply push down on the switch button to turn on the
whirlpool system. To turn the system off, push down on the button
again.
If your bath has an optional Asteria Company wall mounted timer,
set it for the amount of time you wish the whirlpool to operate. Note:
when you desire less than 10 minutes of whirlpool action, it is neces-
sary to turn the timer knob clockwise past the number 10 and then
back to the desired amount. If the whirlpool action does not begin
when the timer is correctly set, it is necessary to push the Magic Touch
switch button.
