Cleaning the Bath
To clean your bath, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid deter-
gent solution. You can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled acrylic
surface by applying Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze, a product specifi-
cally designed for use on acrylic finishes. If Meguiar's is not avail-
able, an acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax is
acceptable.
Never use abrasive household cleaners on any Asteria Com-
pany 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 Asteria Company 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
plumbing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool baths. Sys-
tems Clean ™ is available through an authorized Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath Distributor or by calling us direct at 1-800-288-4002. Instructions
for use: Immediately 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 manufactured 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. Repeated use may be necessary.
SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to
regularly purge your whirlpool system with Systems Clean as recom-
mended.

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 substance; the whirlpool action
intensifies the foaming properties 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 accumulations persist, you should discontinue use
of these products.
Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance
Clean the suction cover/strainer of hair and debris when neces-
sary. To do this, remove the center screw and detach the square
cover. Clean the cover by backflushing debris from the holes. Re-
place the suction cover immediately after cleaning. When reinstall-
ing, 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.
CAUTION: Keep hair a minimum of 6 inches away from the suc-
tion 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 whirl-
pool system with the suction cover removed! It is a safety de-
vice and must always be in place on the suction fitting to mini-
mize the potential hazard of hair and body entrapment.
