caution: Care should be taken to prevent inappropriate chemicals coming in contact with the Lucite® acrylic surface. Please read and observe all instructions and/or warnings on containers containing substances you contemplate applying to your whirlpool. Any failure to comply may void your warranty.

water quality issues:

Owners of fill and drain whirlpool bathtubs need to know basic information concerning water quality: how it affects performance and enjoyment of the operation of their tubs, and steps that can be taken by the owner to correct related problems. Important issues are the microbiological and chemical quality of the water.

1. Microbiological Quality

Microbes are present in water supplied by individual wells or water systems and even in the air around us. These microbes are usually in amounts below what is noticeable. Microbes from the water or air or from a bathers body may settle on wetted surfaces such as a whirlpool bathtub’s surface or piping systems where they can grow in numbers where we can notice them. With regards to whirlpool bathtubs, brown/black fungi/mold or pigmented (colored) bacteria can be noted.

Fungi/Mold- Fungi and mold are always present. The levels are usually such that we do not notice them. When moisture and temperature are sufficient, the organisms will grow to levels that we may smell and/or see. The best example of such growth is the very common black growth on the bottom of shower curtains. The best solution to keep these surfaces free from growth is frequent cleaning.
