User Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a quality whirlpool system. In order to get the full benefit from this product and have many years trouble free service please follow the simple instructions below.

Whirlpool Bathing Safety

If you suffer from a heart condition or are pregnant consult your doctor before taking a whirlpool bath.

DO NOT allow children to bathe in the whirlpool unattended.

Slow moving/weak elderly or disabled persons should take care when using a whirlpool bath.

DO NOT allow hair to become entangled with the suction fitting (the largest fitting in the bath). If necessary bathe using a shower cap.

DO NOT take a whirlpool after a large meal or after drinking alcohol.

DO NOT over do it! Start by having the whirlpool on for a short period and build up gradually each bath time.

DO NOT bathe in hot water above 40 Degrees Centigrade (104 F)

DO NOT use large quantities of bubble bath, it will cause excessive foaming.

Bath Care

FILLING - Always run cold water in to the bath before filling with hot water.

CLEANING - Clean immediately after use with warm soapy water and dry. Never use gritty or abrasive cleaners. Multi-surface bathroom cleaners can damage the surface of the bath. Slight scratches and lime scale can be removed with metal polish.

Warning-Solvents such as paint stripper, nail varnish remover, concentrated bath oils and disinfectants will damage the bath surface.

The bath can be damaged by burning cigarettes. The use of cleaning materials not specified by the manufacture can result in damage to the bath or whirlpool system.

Care and Maintenance

DO NOT use bath oils, these will coat the pipes and cause a build up of grease.

DO NOT run the whirlpool system without sufficient water in the bath, this will cause damage to the pump.

DO NOT clean the whirlpool fittings with abrasive or multi-surface cleaners as this can attack the chrome fittings. Use only mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Micro fibre E-Cloths can be used.

MAINTAIN your whirlpool system using a specialist whirlpool cleaning product.

The use of cleaning materials not specified by the manufacture can result in damage to the bath of whirlpool system.

Testing R.C.D.

An R.C.D. MUST be fitted to the electrical supply it is an essential safety feature. If one has not been fitted DO NOT use the bath and consult a qualified electrician. (See installation instructions for details.)

Test at least once a month as follows.

1. Turn the R.C.D. to the ON position.

2. Press the ‘TEST’ button. The R.C.D. should trip to the ‘OFF’ position. (If the R.C.D. fails to trip off consult a qualified electrician.)

3. Switch on as normal when the bath is to be used.

Pump Immobiliser

The pump immobiliser is an option on the Original and Phizzio whirlpool systems and standard on the Vogue, Vogue Elite, Viva and VivaLux. The pump immobiliser prevents the whirlpool system from running until water has reached the correct bathing depth.

2

Original Range Whirlpool System

The Phizzio whirlpool system has a single on/off button and two air controls.

On/Off Button

To start the whirlpool system press and release the round button. To stop the whirlpool system press and release the round button again. Use a short definite push for best results.

Air Controls

To adjust the turbulence of the whirlpool system turn the air control knob. One control is for the body jets. Each can be adjusted independently. A quarter of a turn will cover the full range of adjustment.

DO NOT run the whirlpool system without sufficient water in the bath (fill to 75mm above the jets). This will damage the pump and invalidate your guarantee. When the bath is not in use turn off at the R.C.D. or isolator switch to prevent accidental switching on of the pump.

The Bronte back and foot jets can be adjusted by rotating the bezel until the desired pressure is reached.

Optional Extras

To enjoy this relaxing effect, turn down the bathroom light and let the warm glow and whirlpool wash away the stress of the day.

Pump Immobiliser

The pump immobiliser prevents the whirlpool system from running until water has reached the correct bathing depth. This prevents accidental switching on of the pump when the bath is empty or when the water level is too low.

High Power Pump

A high power pump can be specified. This is used on larger baths or when extra jets are used.

Where a Whirlpool and Air Spa are combined on to one bath all the functions can be operated from a single touch pad.
