WHIRLPOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. MTI whirlpool tubs are equipped with a factory installed on/off device. This eliminates the need
for an external switch. Starting motor with no water in the tub could result in damage to the pump
and internal seals and could void your warranty.
2. Fill tub approximately 1" above highest jet. Do not start pump until tub has been filled to specified level.
Do not leave a filling or full tub unattended.
3. When you are ready to use the whirlpool system, activate the on/off device on the deck of the tub.
(For whirlpools or air bath / whirlpool combos equipped with a keypad, please see pages 11-19 for
control photos and functions for your particular model.)
4. Adjust the amount of air mixed with the water using the master air volume control located on the
deck or side-wall of the tub. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to increase the amount of air
and pressure in the system. If your tub is equipped with a cleaning system, the detergent dis-
penser is also the air volume control.
5. All jets on MTI Designer Collection whirlpools are designed to operate individually. Open or close jets
by either pushing and pulling the nozzle or twisting the jet nozzle, depending on jet style.
6. Hydrotherapy jets can also be adjusted directionally.
7. If your tub is equipped with 4 or more micro-jets, it will also be equipped with a volume control diverter
valve to adjust pressure and shut off the micro-jets.
(See diagram on page 22).
IMPORTANT! YOU MUST TURN THE VOLUME CONTROL FOR THE MICRO-JETS DOWN UNTIL YOU
ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF THEM. IF ACTIVATED BEFORE, WATER MAY SPLASH OUTSIDE THE BATH.
8.
Bath oils or other petroleum-based products are not recommended for use in MTI whirlpool tubs.
These products have been shown to increase the possibility of bacteria growth within the system.
9. Bubble bath should only be used sparingly. The action of the system will greatly increase the amount
of bubbles. The system must also be cleaned after each use as described in “Cleaning Instructions.”
10. The use of products containing natural or artificial coloring or dyes may cause discoloration of jets
and / or controls.
11. If your tub is equipped with an inline heater, the heater will come on each time the point-
massage (large jets) are operating. There is no separate on/off device. The inline heater is not
designed to heat cold water; it is designed to help maintain the temperature of the bath. The
heater has a pre-set, non-adjustable thermostat set to 102°F.
