6. Maintenance & Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure your Empava jetted tub remains in excellent condition and provides years of enjoyment.

Cleaning the Tub

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tub surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Deep Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone, ammonia, or abrasive powders, as these can damage the finish.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed.

Jet Maintenance

• System Flush: Periodically (e.g., monthly or quarterly, depending on usage), fill the tub with hot water above the jets and add a cup of white vinegar or a specialized jetted tub cleaner. Run the jets for 15-20 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly.
• Jet Nozzles: Inspect jet nozzles for any buildup or debris. Most nozzles can be gently twisted or removed for cleaning.
