4. Operation

Your Americh Concorde tub features an advanced hydro-massage system for a relaxing experience. The controls are pre-mounted for convenience.

Using the Whirlpool System:

1. Ensure the tub is filled with water to at least 2 inches above the highest jet opening. Operating the pump without sufficient water can cause damage.
2. Locate the pre-mounted controls, typically a button or dial, to activate the whirlpool pump.
3. Adjust the direction of the water jets by rotating the outer ring of each jet.
4. For air bath systems (if applicable), adjust the air flow using the designated control.
5. To turn off the system, press the control button again or turn the dial to the off position.

Always drain the tub after use. Do not leave standing water in the tub for extended periods.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your acrylic bathtub.

Cleaning the Tub Surface:

• Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive, mild liquid cleaner.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids/bases) as they can damage the acrylic finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
• For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.

Whirlpool System Maintenance:

• Periodically clean the whirlpool system to prevent build-up of soap residue and bacteria.
• Fill the tub with hot water above the jets. Add 2-3 tablespoons of low-foaming dishwasher detergent or a specialized whirlpool cleaner.
• Run the whirlpool system for 10-15 minutes.
• Drain the tub, then refill with cold water and run the system for another 5 minutes to rinse.
• Wipe down jets and fittings with a soft cloth.
