Maintenance
Back Jet Manifold Drainage
When the unit is turned off, the back jet manifold will continue to drain after the bath is empty
Cleaning the J-Sha
To clean your J-Sha whirlpool bath, simply use a mild nonabrasive liquid detergent or commercially prepared bathtub cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. You can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying a polish specifically designed for use on acrylic finishes. If an acrylic polish is not available, an automotive paste wax can be used.
Purging the Whirlpool System
NOTE: THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM SHOULD BE PURGED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH
To remove accumulations of bath residue from the whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool bath be purged at least twice a month. For best results, however, we recommend that you purge your whirlpool bath after each use using our exclusive two-part plumbing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool baths. Systems Clean ™ is available through an authorized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us direct at 1-800-288-4002. Instructions for use: Immediately after bathing and exiting the whirlpool bath, leave the bath water in the tub and add hot water, if necessary, so the water is at least 2" above the highest jet. Turn on the unit without the aerator. Pour the contents of the Systems Clean Packet 1 (taking care not to get the material on yourself) into the bath near the intake for the circulation pump. Repeat same process with Systems Clean Packet 2. It is important to use Packet 1 before Packet 2 to avoid a strong odor. Run the bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain completely and rinse any residue.
If you have followed the standard purging instructions above and still have an excess accumulation of bath residue and desire an alternative cleaning mechanism, we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by Stearns Packaging to rectify this condition. This may be obtained by contacting us at l-800-288-4002. It is recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to regularly purge your whirlpool system with Systems Clean as recommended.

Bath Additives
NOTE: DO NOT USE OIL OR OIL BASED BATH ADDITIVES.
If you want to use any kind of bath additive, use only a small amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance; the whirlpool action intensifies the foaming properties of soaps.
The use of certain bath oils, bubble baths and bath additives may increase the level of accumulations of bath residue in the whirlpool system. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products.
