Thermostatic Mixing Valve
The Santa Cruz ShowerSpa comes equipped with a thermostatic mixing valve to safely control water
temperature. Once you set the knob to the desired operating temperature, the thermostatic mixing valve
will regulate the temperature, keeping it constant even when water pressure drops inside the plumbing
lines (i.e. someone flushes a toilet, etc.).
The button on the knob points to the current water temperature. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise
to increase temperature or clockwise to decrease temperature. Anti-scald technology is provided by
limiting temperature to 38°C/100°F unless the button on the knob is pressed. To increase the temperature
beyond 38°C/100°F, press the button and continue turning counter-clockwise. Each time you revisit your
ShowerSpa, allow the water to reach operating temperature before entering the shower.
Brass Diverter
The Santa Cruz Showerspa offers independent control of each function. Water pressure can be directed
to a single function or split between the different functions via the four diverter knobs (located on the
side of the ShowerSpa). The four functions are rain showerhead, waterfall showerhead, hand shower
and body jets. To turn a function on, rotate the knob towards you 90°. To turn the ShowerSpa off,
rotate all diverters so the knobs are pointing up and leave the thermostatic mixing valve at the desired
temperature.
Showerheads
There are two separate showerhead functions that are controlled independently. Each has its' own
diverter knob. You may concentrate all pressure to one function or spread between the two. The rain
showerhead provides the relaxing feel of soft rain while the waterfall showerhead is a single wide stream
that offers more direct pressure.
Hand Shower
The hand shower has a single power-spray pattern that can be used alone or in combination with any of
the other ShowerSpa functions.
Body Jets
There are two oversized body jets. There are two separate knobs controlling the body jets. The first
knob operates the upper jet, while the other knob controls the lower jet. Again, you may concentrate all
pressure to one function or spread between the two.
Care and Maintenance
Always blot dry any water from the surface of your ShowerSpa. To help protect your ShowerSpa
from hard water stains and mineral deposits, use an auto spray wax periodically and wipe down your
ShowerSpa after each use. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to a buildup of mineral
deposits. Cleaning with a damp, nonabrasive sponge and drying with a clean soft cloth should help keep
your ShowerSpa looking beautiful.
REMEMBER
NEVER use any abrasives or harsh cleaners!
Clean with mild soap and water ONLY!
To keep your ShowerSpa in pristine condition,
DRY AFTER EACH USE!
