Whirlpool Maax Pearl Hot Tub - Manual (Page 12)

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING THE TUB SURFACE
Proper care and maintenance will preserve the high gloss acrylic finish.
1.
To properly clean the surface, wipe with a soft damp cloth, or sponge, using household soap or liquid deter-
gent. The acrylic manufacturer recommends New Liquid Spic and Span for cleaning.
2. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since these could dull the brilliant sur-
face. HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON THE SURFACE.
3. The jets can be removed for cleaning. Use wrench provided with the tub. Do not remove the protective cover
on the suction return for cleaning. The only time the protective cover is removed is to replace the decorative
ring.
4. Alcohol may be used to remove glue, adhesives, etc. from the surface.
COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION (CLEANING)
In commercial installations, call Technical Service at (800) 851-5375 or (763) 424-3335 for specific cleaning instruc-
tions.
CLEANING THE PUMP AND PLUMBING SYSTEM
After the tub is installed and ready to use, remove all construction debris and clean the tub and pump system.
Clean the the pump and plumbing system before the first use and every month thereafter, regardless of utilization.
This is easily done as follows:
1. Set air control knobs to the closed position (turn counter clockwise).
2. Using hot water only, fill the tub to at least 2 inches above the highest jet.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of low sudsing automatic dishwasher detergent such as Calgonite or Cascade. Every other
month use 1/2 cup of household bleach for cleaning the system.
4. Operate whirlpool for 20 minutes.
5. When the pump system stops, drain the water from the tub.
Caustic drain openers will damage the surface and the pump. Should you experience a clogged
drain, call a plumber to remove the trap for cleaning. Extreme heat from portable heaters and
cigarettes can damage the surface of the tub. We do not recommend the use of oil based bath additives. Epson
salts or other mineral salts may be used in the tub.
MINOR SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS
The procedure to remove light surface scratch or
burnish marks is quite simple. Apply automobile
rubbing compound and lightly buff, then apply
paste wax and lightly buff again. This will return
the original shine.
MAJOR REPAIRS TO THE SURFACE
Should a deep scratch or more serious damage
occur, please call your installation professional.
JET HARDWARE WRENCH
The wrench that is included with your tub is used
to remove hardware for cleaning, replacing or
adjusting the nozzle. Refer to the diagrams below
for how to use this wrench. Again, use no abrasive
cleaners. Use mild detergent and a soft cloth or
sponge when cleaning. Do not remove the cover
on the suction return
. This cover is removed only
when replacing the decorative ring (fig. 10).
