After you have fully installed the unit and made all the inspections to ensure the unit can function safely, fully clean the unit inside and out to
ensure the unit is ready for usage, and also to check for any potential lose debris that may have fallen into any of the plumbing. After a thorough
visual inspection, close the drain and fill the tub up to the overflow drain, submerging all the jets underwater. If any debris floats out, remove it, or if
it’s very small, paddle it towards the drain plug, and then drain the tub until the debris is removed. The whirlpool system will not run unless the water-
level sensor is fully submerged underwater. The water-level sensor is placed above the water line of the water jets.

Water Jet Feature
The water pump and features directly related to the whirlpool system only work when the water level inside the tub is above the
water-level sensor. The water-level sensor is hidden behind the tub wall. This system has two sensors; the other sensor is the
temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is visible from inside the tub, usually underneath the overflow drain knob (depending
on model).
Press the 'Water Jet' button to activate the water pump and aslo unlock the other [optional] whirlpool features. If the water level
inside the tub is not above the water-level sensor, the 'Water Jet' icon will flash and the other [optional] whirlpool features will
remain locked. If the water jet feature is turned on but the water is not yet at a safe level, the whirlpool feature will automatically
turn on when the water reaches an appropriate level. The default operating time for the water jets is set for 20-minutes. If the water
jet feature and air bubble feature are both activated, but at different times, both features will still automatically turn off at 20-minutes.
To stop the 'Water Jet' feature, press the 'Water Jet' icon for 2-seconds. You will see “OFF” flash on the display.
Underwater Color Light
The underwater tub light has color and intensity adjustments. Press the ‘Color Changing Lights’ button to turn on the underwater
lights. The light color is white, first (C=1); to change the intensity of the light, press the ‘Color Changing Lights’ button again to the
next brightness setting; press again to the next brightness setting; press again to turn off; there are 3 color brightness settings and
an “OFF” setting; a cycle of 4-positions in total.

Heatpump Feature: Temperature: 35 ~ 43°C (95°F ~ 109.4°F)
The heatpump function will remain locked-out until both the water jet feature is turned on and the water-level sensor is activated. The
waterlevel sensor is activated when the tub is filled and the water level inside the tub surpasses the height of the water-level sensor. If
the waterlevel sensor does not sense water at a safe water level both the heatpump and water pump will turn off. The heatpump
function also has a thermostat feature in which you can set a desired temperature also which the heatpump will activate. The default
temperature of the thermostat is set at 38°C (100.4°F). You can change the thermostat setting between 35°C (95°F) to 43°C (109.4°F).
If the temperature of the tub water is above this set temperature of the thermostat, the heatpump feature will not activate. Because this
system is a “tub” designed to use fresh water for each use, this system uses a “heatpump” system; as it is not a “pool” in which is
designed to continuously use chemically treated water which uses a water “heater” system. “Heatpump” systems are designed to
produce just enough heat to prolong the warmth of a tub of water, but not specifically designed to heat a pool of water to a normal “spa”
operating temperatures. This is designed to be safer and more efficient for household use.
To adjust the thermostat setting for the heatpump function, ensure there is adequate water level; press the heatpump button so that
the heatpump feature is on, and then press the Parameter Setting button Up or Down until the desired setting is selected. To turn off
the heatpump feature, simply press the heatpump button until the icon is unlighted or off. If the whirlpool system is shut off with the
heatpump running, the system will delay the shutdown process for a few short seconds until the heatpump slightly cools.
Music Feature: Radio / Bluetooth
While the computer system is on, press the Music button to activate either the FM radio or Bluetooth functions. When the radio
function is selected, a “3 dB” will first show on the display panel, indicating a volume adjustment; to adjust the volume, press the
Volume/Parameter “UP” or “DOWN” buttons until desired volume is achieved. The volume adjustments span from “0” to “10” “dB” (“3
dB” being default). After 5-seconds the display will change to a frequency reading, indicating a frequency adjustment; to adjust the
frequency, press the Volume/Parameter “UP” or “DOWN” buttons until desired frequency is found. The system will automatically use
the last frequency selected when the radio function us used again.
To search for a new radio channel, while the radio function is in the frequency mode, press and hold either the Volume/Parameter
“UP” or “DOWN” button for 2-seconds, and it will automatically search for the next radio station with a strong/steady signal.To program
a frequency into the channel memory, press the Channel Memory button; “CH=1” will display on the screen; use the
Volume/Parameter “UP” or “DOWN” buttons to select different channel numbers (1-10); press the Channel Memory button again to
save the frequency to the channel number of your selection. To select between the preset memory channels, while the radio is
functioning, press the Memory button, then press the Set button, and then use the Volume/Parameter “UP” or “DOWN” buttons.
To select the Bluetooth function, press the Music button again, cycling past Radio feature. The Bluetooth symbol will appear on the
upper portion of the display, and “bt” near the center of the display. When first turned on, the Bluetooth feature will scan for an audio
source Bluetooth device; use your audio source Bluetooth device to scan and “pair” the connection.
The Bluetooth system is named “Whirlpool”; the password is “1234”. When the Bluetooth systems “pair”, the Bluetooth feature will
chime, indicating they have successfully connected.
The Bluetooth feature will only play audio output, and will not accept vocal input. If there is an incoming or outgoing call during music
streaming, the music will automatically stop playing, and will automatically continue when the call is ended. To deactivate the
Bluetooth feature, press the Music button to cycle the radio feature into the ‘off’ position.

D-Series Whirlpool User Manual with Bluetooth
Once a Bluetooth device has been “paired” the system will automatically connect when both Bluetooth devices are activated. If there is
more than one device “paired” to the system, the system will randomly choose one of the devices. If the system automatically connects
to an undesired “paired” device, deactivate the Bluetooth function by pressing the Music button, then press and hold the Music button
for 3-seconds, and then the Bluetooth symbol will start to flash and the system will be placed in scan mode.
Turn off and on the Bluetooth function or open Bluetooth function on the device for connection and pairing with the “Whirlpool”.
Sound volume can adjust using the parameter setting buttons set into 9 different volume levels.
Air Bubble Feature:
To activate the Air Bubble feature, turn on the Display and then press the Air Bubble button. To deactivate the Air Bubble feature,
press the Air Bubble button again, or turn off the Display.
The Air Bubble feature will turn on independent of the water-level sensor, and is designed to automatically turn off after 20-minutes of
continuous use. However, if the water-level sensor changes condition from sensing-water to not-sensing-water, the air bubble feature will
shut off automatically. After which, the Air Bubble icon will start to flash. If the Air Bubble feature is still desired, press the Air Bubble button
to turn on the Air Bubble feature. If the water jet feature and the air bubble features are started at different times, both features will
automatically shut off at the same time, and the 20-minute timer is reset to the last inputted update.
The Air Bubble feature is designed to run for 1-minute to flush and dry the air jets, 20-minutes after the water-level sensor no longer
detects water, but will only do so in the following scenarios:
1. Water is no longer detected by the water-level sensor while the system is still turned on
2. Water is no longer detected by the water-level sensor and then the system is turned off
3. The system is turned off and then the water-level sensor no longer detects water.

Maintenance:
The drain can be clogged by hair or soap scum and should be cleaned regularly.
Poor maintenance, infrequent, or irregular cleaning can cause damage to the faucets or jets.
When cleaning the chrome parts, do not use cleaning compounds or instruments with abrasives or harsh chemicals. Do not try to remove
stains with hard objects, such as blades or screwdrivers.
When cleaning the acrylic surfaces of the bathtub, use a soft sponge and a detergent without ammonia, acetone or other harsh chemicals,
to prevent surfaces from getting dulled or damaged.
Dulled surfaces can be refinished with an acrylic polishing compound (follow instructions of polishing compound); first test on a non-visible
surface area.
Consider cleaning the whirlpool features monthly with a whirlpool cleaning solution from your local hardware store. Follow the instructions
of the whirlpool cleaning solution. If not cleaned regularly you may notice black flakes in the bath – if this happens you should clean the
whirlpool system. Consider cleaning the whirlpool system with whirlpool cleaning solution repeatedly until the black flakes disappear. Soap
scum, hair, dead skin, skin care products, oil, grease and/or bacteria can contaminate your whirlpool system, it is important to clean
regularly.
Consider cleaning the whirlpool system using a cup of chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and the minimum amount of warm or hot water
to activate the (water-level sensor) whirlpool system, in between regular cleanings with whirlpool cleaning solution. Thoroughly flush and
rinse the bathtub and whirlpool system before use. (This is not meant as a substitute for whirlpool cleaning solution)
Warning: the use of cleaning materials other than those recommended by the manufacturer can result in damage to the bathtub, whirlpool
apparatus, or other hardware.
Warning: Any service, adjustment or repair is only recommended by an experienced professional. Only consider a licensed professional for all
installation, servicing or repair work.
