While the acrylic surface of your tub is very durable, using the wrong products to clean it can cause damage. The ideal cleaning solution is simply warm water mixed with a small amount of mild dish soap, which you can apply with a soft cloth. However, if you choose to use a household cleaning product, just be sure to check labels for any that state they are not recommended for acrylic or plastic materials, and always stay away from solvent-based or acidic cleaners of any type. Acrylic tub surfaces are naturally very sleek and smooth, so abrasive cleaners are not necessary and, in fact, can leave scratches and other damage. But things do happen, of course, so if you do get a mark on your tub that’s a bit more stubborn, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pad works very well.

In addition to cleaning, if you’re looking to restore a bit of the original shine to the surface of your tub, a high-quality automotive wax that is manufactured for use on plastic surfaces can be applied occasionally. Just be sure to follow product instructions for the appropriate amount to use and proper application process, and never use a wax product on the floor of the tub. The product can create a slippery surface, resulting in a safety hazard.

Repairs of any kind, if necessary, should be done by a qualified acrylic expert.

It is crucial to emphasize the importance of setting a drop-in bathtub in mortar. Mortar chemically cures to form a very hard compound that will adhere properly to a myriad of surfaces. By utilizing mortar as a solid foundation, the weight of the tub is evenly distributed and supported by the floor, eliminating any potential risks of material breakdown. This method ensures long-term durability, preventing the bathtub from shifting, cracking, or experiencing structural damage, thus maintaining a safe and secure installation for years to come. While foam may seem like a convenient installation option, it lacks the structural integrity and stability necessary to adequately support the weight of the tub. Foam has a tendency to compress over time, leading to an uneven distribution of weight and potential sagging or shifting of the bathtub. This can result in damage to the tub, such as cracks, leaks, or even complete failure of the installation. Additionally, foam is susceptible to moisture absorption, which can lead to mold or mildew growth, further compromising the integrity of the installation. Therefore, to ensure the long-term durability and safety of the drop-in bathtub, it is crucial to opt for a more robust and reliable support material such as mortar.

Several things could impact the blower's operation. First, make sure the blower is receiving electrical power. If a red light is on your keypad, your blower is getting power.

If the outlet is not working you can try resetting your GFCI switch or consulting your electrician.

The red light indicates and communication issue between the keypad and the blower. Please reach out to Jetta at 1-800-288-7771 for further help.

First and foremost, it’s important to note that jetted tubs should always be filled with clean, clear water or water-soluble products only, and bathing products such as salts should be avoided, as they can cause corrosion. Other bath products that are not water-soluble will leave a residue in your tub's plumbing or air lines, creating a place for biofilm to accumulate. If you have used these items in the past, it is essential to clean and maintain your tub's plumbing lines. This Jetta Blog article will walk you through everything you need to know to keep your tub sparkling clean.

Several factors could keep the pump from turning on. In a quiet bathroom, press the button and listen for the clicking of the relay. If you hear a click, then the pump is receiving the signal to turn on but is not receiving electrical power. Go to your electrical panel and reset the breaker marked for this bathroom. If you still do not have power to the pump, check inside your access panel under the tub to see if the GFCI outlet has been tripped. Confirm that the receptacle works by plugging in a hairdryer or light you know works. If the receptacle is operational, please contact Jetta at 1-800-288-7771 for additional help. If the receptacle is not functional, try the reset button on the outlet or contact your electrician. 

If your Jet motor will not turn off, you can turn off the breaker marked for the whirlpool at the electrical panel to stop your tub and call Jetta at 1-800-288-7771 for further help.

Many people considering purchasing a jetted tub have concerns about how sanitary they are and if it can be cleaned properly. The short answer is when maintained properly, they are very sanitary and simple to clean thoroughly.

First and foremost, it’s important to note that jetted tubs should always be filled with clean, clear water or water-soluble products only, and bathing products such as salts or oils should be avoided, as they can cause buildup in the lines and corrosion in the pump. 

For tubs with jetted or whirlpool systems, monthly cleaning of the lines will help keep your tub clean, sanitary, and functioning properly. To make the process simple, we offer Jetta Clean – a specialized system cleaner. Over time, residue from bathing products, natural body oils, and other environmental contaminants can build up and could eventually lead to problems within the system. Jetta Clean is a bio-film remover that breaks down contaminants and residue and leaves your tub and its plumbing system clean, sanitary, and functioning at its best. You can purchase Jetta Clean through your local distributor or directly through Jetta by calling 1-800-288-7771 or emailing sales@jettacorp.com.
