HUMIDITY
WARNING: Avoid high humidity levels in your
home. Mold, mildew, fungi and bacteria which may
be harmful to health thrive in areas with continued
high humidity levels; therefore, every precaution
should be taken to make sure your plumbing
fixtures, including bathtubs, hydrotherapy baths or
showers do not become a source of high humidity
due to improper installations or leaks.
To avoid having your plumbing fixtures become a source
of unwanted humidity, please make sure the following
steps are taken prior to installation.
1. Make sure the area where the bathtub or shower is
installed is well vented and allows enough ventilation
and air circulation to dry the bathroom environment
within a short time after taking a bath or shower.
2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with
an integral tile flange or make sure a tile flange kit or
similar mechanical barriers is installed to prevent
shower spray, splash or overflow to leak behind the
bathtub.
3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your
hydrotherapy bath before it is roughed in to make
sure there are no leaks and it is installed with proper
access to bath equipment.
4. Make sure that all the plumbing and fixtures in the
bathroom are in good working order and have no
leaks.
5. Do not use carpeting or other material or furniture
which can hold moisture in your bathroom.
6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces
which are regularly exposed to moisture.
7. Clean and disinfect humidifier and dehumidifiers as
recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air
filter on the HVAC unit once a month.
8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears
by using a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate
household cleaner. Always use gloves during
cleaning. Dispose of any sponges or rags used to
clean mold.
CLEANING
With minimum care, your acrylic-surfaced bath will retain
its high-luster finish for many years. For regular cleaning
use Jason Bath Cleaner or a mild NON-ABRASIVE liquid
detergent solution (i.e. glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth
or sponge. Do not run the hydrotherapy system with
foaming cleaners or soaps. Rinse the bath thoroughly
after cleaning.
SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Area with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored
by applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e.
Novus Plastic Polish No. 2, available at your Jason
dealer), followed by an application of acrylic paste wax.
Buff the surface with a clean soft cloth. Do not use
sandpaper, steel wool or abrasive rubbing compounds.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage
penetrates the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for
recommendations on surface repair.
AIR HEATER AND AIR TEMPERATURE
The air heater incorporated into the air blower is designed
to preheat the incoming air to body temperature, not to
heat the bath water. The air heater automatically comes
on when the air blower is activated. Even though all air
baths provide preheated air, occasionally some people
with sensitive skin might experience a cold air sensation.
This sensation is caused by the swiftly moving heated air
bubbles blowing on the wet skin. This phenomenon can
be related to the use of a fan for cooling on a hot day.
While the ambient temperature does not change, the
moving air makes you feel cooler. Avoiding this cold air
sensation is among the reasons Jason avoids placing air
jets directly beneath the body. If you experience a cool air
sensation, which is most noticeable during the first few
minutes of an air bath, simply move your body slightly
away from the closest jets.
FLUSHING / SANITIZING
Upon start-up and not to exceed 90 days, your bath and
plumbing system should be flushed. To do so, close the
drain and fill the bath with warm water to at least two (2)
inches [5.1cm] above the highest jet. Pour in Jason Bath
System Cleaner and follow the directions on the bottle.
DO NOT use bleach or other chlorinated cleansers directly
on the metal trim.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or electrical repair to a qualified service
technician. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM. This can result in danger of electrical shock
or damage to the unit and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Remember, when contacting your dealer or service
representative; always have your serial number, proof of
purchase and model number. This will ensure a quick
response on warranty items. The serial number can be
found on the front page of this manual or on the small card
adhered to the underside of the bath just above the
equipment.
ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY
THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE WORK IS STARTED.
