  • Medical Conditions: Consult a physician before use if you have any medical conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medication.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Bathtub

Troubleshooting

  • Jets Not Working: Check if the tub is filled above the jet level. Ensure the power supply is connected and the GFCI has not tripped.
  • No Power to Control Panel: Verify the electrical connection and check the GFCI. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Leaks: Immediately turn off the water supply. Inspect all plumbing connections for loose fittings or damaged seals. Tighten or replace as necessary. If the leak is from the tub body, contact customer support.
  • Weak Jet Pressure: Ensure the water intake is clear of debris. Check the water level in the tub.
