Follow these instructions to install the soaking bath vessel,
overflows, fill spouts, and faucetry. Electrical connection is
not needed.
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS on page 4 for humidity
and mold prevention suggestions prior to Installation.
1. Finish Frame
a. Construct a finish frame under the bath rim to support the
bath lip and keep the bath deck level, which will assist
any water draining from the deck of the bath into the
well of the bath. This frame is not intended to support
the full bath weight.
If alateral skirt is to be used on the bath, the bath deck must
be leveled at the correct clearance from the support foundation
(flooring) depending on the model, or the skirt will not fit
properly.
Figure 1
Apply 100% Silicone with water resistant properties
between the water resistant backer board and the deck
of the bath. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Soaking bath vessels without an integral tile
flange or tile flange kit (TFK) are not to be installed
against the wall.
NOTE: If you have purchased a model with an integral
skirt and tile flange; factory installed lateral skirt; integral
tile flange; or an optional tile flange kit, modify the
framing to support the bath lip as shown in Figure 2.
2. Rough-in the plumbing for the drain and overflow assembly. At
this time also plan for the position and mounting of the
faucet set as well as all related plumbing. All overflow
drains, fill spouts, and valves must be installed according
to the instructions in this manual.

a. Install the bath level for proper drainage. Jason baths are
designed to be supported under the entire base of the
bath. If the floor is smooth and level, the bath’s LevelForm™ base will provide proper drainage and support
(see Figure 2). Mortar is required when the subfloor is
not smooth and level; when additional sound insulation
is desired; and/or when the bath is installed in a drop-in
application. In alcove installations a bed of mortar is
recommended to aid in leveling the bath. NOTE: Do
not use sand to install or level the bath.
b. Remove the packing board before installing the bath. Some
soaking bath models may be shipped with a packing
board which must be removed before installation.
Detach the packing board from the bath.
4. Protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during installation
with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard and/or plastic film.
5. Install the drain and overflow assembly onto the bath according
to the instructions provided with the assemblies. Position
the bath in the area of intended installation.
CLEANING
1. Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or excess
grout can be removed with the use of a wooden-edged
trowel.
2. Paint or tar stains can be removed with paint thinner,
turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Never
allow the cleaner to soak against the acrylic surface for
long periods of time. Always rinse the surface immediately
following the use of cleaners.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturers instructions for safe use
of cleaning products. If the surface becomes scratched
or dulled, it may be restored by using a quality plastic
polish, like Novus Plastic Polish No. 2 (available from
the Jason Dealer). It is always preferable to protect the
acrylic surface during installation to minimize cleanup and
prevent surface damage.
WATER TESTING
Before finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath and plumbing tested for leaks.
1. Fill and operate the bath. Close the drain and fill the bath
with at least two (2) inches of water. The incoming water
temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
2. Inspect the plumbing for leaks.
Jason International, Inc. • 501.771.4477 Page 4 of 6 Customer Service : 800.255.5766
Warning: Avoid high humidity levels in your home. Mold, mildew,
fungi, and bacteria which may be harmful to health thrive in areas with
continued high humidity levels; therefore, every precaution should
be taken to make sure your plumbing fixtures including bathtubs,
therapy baths or showers do not become a source of high humidity
due to improper installations or leaks.
To avoid having your plumbing fixtures become a source of
unwanted humidity, please make sure the following steps
are taken prior to installation.
1. Make sure the area where the bathtub or shower is installed is
well vented and allows enough ventilation and air circulation
to dry the bathroom environment within a short time after
taking a bath or shower.
2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with an
integral tile flange or make sure a tile flange kit or a similar
mechanical barrier is installed to prevent shower spray,
splash, or overflow to leak behind the bathtub.
3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your therapy bath
before it is roughed in to make sure there are no leaks and
it is installed with proper access to bath equipment.
4. Make sure that all the plumbing and fixtures in the bathroom
are in good working order and have no leaks.
5. Do not use carpeting or other materials or furniture (which
can hold moisture) in your bathroom.
CLEANING
With minimum care, the soaking bath’s acrylic-surface will retain
its high luster finish for many years. For regular cleaning use
a mild NON-ABRASIVE liquid detergent solution (i.e., Jason
Bath System Cleaner or a glass cleaner) and a soft, wet cloth
or sponge. Do not allow the cleaning solution to soak against
the acrylic surface for long periods of time. Rinse the bath
thoroughly after cleaning.
ACRYLIC SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Areas with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored
by applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e. Novus
Plastic Polish No. 2, available from a Jason dealer), followed
by an application of acrylic paste wax. Buff the surface with
a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use sandpaper, steel wool, or abrasive rubbing
compounds.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage penetrates
the acrylic surface, consult the dealer for recommendations
on surface repair.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or surface repair to a qualified service
technician.
6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces, which
are regularly exposed to moisture.
7. Clean and disinfect humidifier and dehumidifiers as
recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air filter
on the HVAC unit once a month.
8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears by
using a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate household
When contacting the dealer or service representative,
always have the serial number, proof of purchase, and
model number available. This will insure a quick response
on warranty items. The serial number can be found on the
front page of this manual or on the small card adhered to
the back of the bath. ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE
AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE WORK IS STARTED.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS.
WARNING:When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your bath. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or fire.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
A. Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
C. The water in a bath should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by a shower
to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness,
and fainting, and it can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 -15
minutes) and for young children.
D. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of preg-
nancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit bath water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibil-
ity of drowning. Never use the bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants, antihistamines,
vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
F. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a soaking bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a soaking bath since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
WARNING:Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath.
Electrical outlets in the bath area must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a GFCI. Such a device should
be installed by a licensed electrician and should be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test the GFCI, push the
TEST button. The GFCI should interrupt the power. Push the RESET button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI
fails to operate in this manner, there is the possibility of an electric shock. DO NOT USE. Disconnect the unit and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service technician.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not
exceed 40°C (104°F). The bath should be drained after each use. Each bather should start their bath with fresh water. Do
not use oil base additives in your whirlpool bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
