B. TUB USE
The Sanctuary Hydrotherapy Tub is recommended for relaxing thermo-air baths and hydrotherapy massage baths. Use the air system to relax the body and prepare for further bodywork,
use the point-massage jets to warm up the muscle tissues for deep tissue massages, and use
the hand wand to perform lymphatic drainage and treatments.
DO NOT RUN PUMP UNLESS WATER IS FILLED UP ABOVE THE JETS
ALWAYS CHECK WATER TEMPERATURE BEFORE ENTERING TUB
MTI recommends use of water soluble bath products only. As with any hydrotherapy tub, oil
based products may decrease the effectiveness of cleansers and could lead to bacterial buildup on the tub and its components.
Note to therapists: The features on this tub are fully adjustable to allow you to create the
ideal pressure, pace, and rhythm for each individual client. Be sure to interview each client
before the session so that you may provide the appropriate stimulus and achieve the best
possible outcome. Communication during the session may also help you monitor the client’s
condition. Read the following sections carefully so that you can master the capabilities and
features of this tub.
AIR SYSTEM CONTROL
The air system capabilities range from a light, relaxing bubble effect to a rapid, invigorating bath.
The air system is controlled by a deck mounted control panel that allows the system to be adjusted
to any level in between or to a wave program that pulsates back and forth between the light and
rapid air settings.
Every 24 hours, a drying cycle will automatically start the blower for one minute. This cycle is
designed to purge any remaining water out of the patented check valves located in each individual air jet. To re-set the 24-hour cycle, unplug the blower and plug it in again. 24 hours later,
and every 24 hours after, this drying cycle will come on. Do not be alarmed when you hear your
tub seem to “turn on by itself.” The blower will automatically shut off after one minute.
Tips for the therapist: The air system is an ideal way to warm up the soft tissue to prepare
for deeper bodywork. It is a good way to start a hydrotherapy massage. The light bubbling jet
action in the air system helps to promote circulation.
JET PRESSURE CONTROL
Water pressure in the large jets may be adjusted from a very high-pressure massage to a low,
relaxing current by turning the air volume control knob. Each individual jet may be turned off by
twisting the jet eyeball clockwise and turned on by twisting counter clockwise. Closing off jets
provides more pressure to those jets that remain open. Additionally, each jet may be manually
adjusted in different directions.
Tips for the therapist: The large jets in the tub are ideal for giving deep tissue massage.
Use of these jets can help to release muscle tension and prepare the body for the more precise work of the hand wand. If the client requires additional pressure in one area, close off
some jets by turning jet nozzle. This will divert the water pressure to the remaining open jet(s)
and allow for even deeper pressure. Note: always leave at least 3 jets open.
HAND WAND
NOTE: Fully submerge the head of the hand wand under water before turning on the pump.
Failure to do so could cause water to spray around the room and may disturb the client.
The massage hand wand is powered by the pump. When the pump is operating, a steady
stream of water will flow through the hand wand hose. To adjust the pressure of the hand
wand during operation, twist the handle located near the end of the hand wand. For extra deep
pressure, close off each of the individual jets so that all water pressure is diverted to the hand
wand. Turn off water flow to hand wand after each use.
Tips for the therapist: The hand wand is designed to allow the technician to give precise
treatments to the body. It can be used for lymphatic drainage treatments or to apply pressure
to specific trigger points. In order to perform deep tissue lymphatic drainage treatments, water
pressure should be applied from the extremities towards the heart. Such treatments should
only be performed by a certified, licensed professional.
LED CHROMATHERAPY LIGHT CONTROL
The LED chromatherapy light is a digital color changing light that produces fully saturated color
and color changing effects. To operate the LED light, depress the LED control button located
on the deck of the tub. Push the button again to move to the next of the 7 preset light shows.
DESCRIPTION OF LIGHT SHOWS:

entire color wheel. Each color takes about 3 minutes.

The handheld sprayer is controlled by a chrome, high-flow diverter located next to the sprayer.
