Air Massage Baths

Noise reduction - the number of jets that provide for an overall body massage is a distinguishing feature of air baths. The majority of the noise heard when using the air bath comes from the extreme action of the water in the bath, not from the motor. To reduce the water noise, add a small amount of foaming bath powder. The foam acts as an insulator and helps to delay loss of water temperature.
Water and air temperature - the tub is equipped with an air-heating element designed to maintain water temperature. The air heater does not heat the water per se. It is normal to feel cool air coming from the jets when sitting next to them. This is due to convection. Turning the bath system on five minutes before filling it with water allows the motor to warm up. The motor will not be damaged by running it without water in the tub.
Maintenance - when the air system is used regularly and correctly (the purge cycle is always used), the bath needs only quarterly maintenance. However, if the system is used only sporadically or the purge cycle is neglected, monthly maintenance is required.
To clean the tub

Close the drain
Pour 1 quart of white vinegar into the bath
Fill the bath with very hot water to 4" above the jets
Leave the water and vinegar to soak for 2-4 hours
After the soak, turn the motor on for 15 seconds, then off for 15 seconds, repeating this action 6-8 times
Empty the bath and refill with clean water. Repeat the on/off procedure 2-3 times.
Drain the bath
