CLEANRANETM AIR SPA

The CleanRane™ Air-Spa System features spring loaded check valves with back flow prevention, eliminating the extra step to disinfect or flush the air lines. This provides the highest level of protection from bacteria and contaminants. When the system is turned off, the spring loaded check valves shut immediately, therefore, no water or debris can enter the air-spa lines. Simply disinfect the surface of the tub and air-spa jets, which kills the bacteria and contaminants. Rinse the tub and you’re ready to go.

The CleanRane™ Air Spa System features 12 jets strategically placed for maximum effect.

AIR SPA FAQ’s

Can the air blower be installed anywhere other than under the bathtub? Yes, it can. The air blower can be installed up to 15 feet away from the bathtub. However, 1. Never insulate the blower. However, it is recommended to insulate the air hose to prevent cooling of the air circulating within. 2. The ambient air surrounding the air blower must be maintained at the same temperature as the room where the bathtub is installed. The blower was not designed to heat cold air from a basement or a garage.

The blower starts on its own. Almost all air blowers are standard with a built in automatic purge cycle that will start 10 minutes after the use of the system. However, 1. If there is a power outage, the purge cycle could be activated. 2. If the system is equipped with a water detector, the purge cycle will start every time there is water in the bath-tub (after you shower, after cleaning the bathtub, etc.). 3. If this happens often even if the system has not been used, contact your dealer. The keypad could be defective and will have to be replaced.

The purge cycle does not start. First verify with your distributor to make sure that your blower is equipped with this option. If it is: 1. Verify that the power to your system does not go through a timer or a security switch. If the timer or switch was shut off before the purge cycle count down has finished, the blower will not turn on. 2. Verify that there is no water in the bottom of your bathtub. Your system may be equipped with a water detec-tor that is preventing the purge cycle to start.

Your system may be equipped with a water detec-tor that is preventing the purge cycle to start. Unfortunately some people are more sensitive to this effect than others. The solution is to change positions in the bathtub and the sensation will diminish. 16

AIR SPA FAQ’s (Continued)

The purge cycle does not start. First verify with your distributor to make sure that your blower is equipped with this option. If it is: 1. Verify that the power to your system does not go through a timer or a security switch. If the timer or switch was shut off before the purge cycle count down has finished, the blower will not turn on. 2. Verify that there is no water in the bottom of your bathtub.

The solution is to change positions in the bathtub and the sensation will diminish.

The air blower functions but the options on my keypad do not always function. 1.If the problem is only with the « + » button; please note that your system starts at a maximum speed. There-fore, pressing this button will have no effect. To verify the proper function of your system press the « – » button; the speed should go down. Then press the « + » button and the speed will increase. 2. If it is a problem with any other button, your keypad could be defective. Sometimes a humidity problem can occur within the electronic system if a wet cloth is left too long on the keypad or if the keypad label is cracked. Contact your distributor who will guide you through the procedure to have your keypad changed.

I press on the air push button but the system does not turn on or off. With an air push button the solutions are quite simple most of the time. 1. If the button is hard to press or comes back too slowly to its initial position, there may be too much air accumu-lated within the hose. - To correct the problem, locate the transparent hose and with a thin pin, poke one or two holes through it to let the air out. (This will not harm your system in any way). - Verify that the hose is not kinked or bent preventing the air from flowing easily. 2. If the button is easy to manipulate, unplug the transparent hose from under the button and gently blow into it. - If the blower starts, the problem is in the air push button. - If the blower does not start, the problem is in the blower. In both cases, contact your distributor for the procedure to have the defective part replaced. Please in-form them of your testing results.

Nothing seems to work. 1. Check the main power box of the house if the breaker is at the ON position. 2. Check if the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) has not tripped. Most manufactures test their products be-fore it leaves the plant. Risks that nothing works are almost null. Interrupt the current for 15 seconds and then reconnect it. This should solve your problem.

My ground fault circuit breaker switches off. 1. If your bathtub is equipped with both a whirlpool pump and an air blower, verify that each unit is connected to a separate ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). 2. Sometimes it can occur that the interrupter (GFCI) is too sensitive. To verify this, disconnect the blower and connect either a hair blower or a light bulb. If the ground fault circuit interrupter trips again, it may be that there is a short circuit somewhere in the electrical line. Have your electrician verify the problem. If the problem persists, the ground fault circuit should be replaced.

Step 15: Re-install part A (fig.1). Hand tighten until it stops, then using the crescent wrench, tighten 2 full

turns. Note: Do not over tighten. If turning the valve on and off is stiff or makes a grinding noise, the nut

is too tight. Back off by loosening a 1/2 to 1 turn. The valve should be fluid and easy to turn on and off.

Step 16: Re-install the chrome escutcheon and rubber gasket. Note: If rubber gasket loses its adhesive

backing during removal in Step 2, use a small bead of silicone adhesive around the entire rubber

gasket. Wipe off any excess silicone.

Step 17: Align the teeth inside the knob with the teeth on part B (fig.1). Using the palm of your hand,

push in the knob firmly until it locks into place. Note: If knob doesn’t lock into place, use a small

amount of shampoo or body wash on the teeth for lubrication.

Note: If the valve stem is broken off, use either a 17mm socket or channel locks to remove it. Remove

all of the parts (A-E on fig.1) from the broken valve and begin at Step 9. If parts cannot be removed
