Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance
Clean the suction cover/strainer of hair and debris when
necessary.
Remove the center screw and detach the suction
1
cover.
Clean the cover by backflushing debris from the holes.
2
Replace the suction cover immediately after cleaning.
3
When reinstalling, orient the cover/strainer with the
small notch at the bottom. The gasket must be inserted
into the groove of the cover/strainer before reinstalling
onto the suction fitting.
Keep hair a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) away
from the suction fitting at all times when the
whirlpool system is operating. Hair longer than
shoulder length should be secured close to the
head, or a bathing cap should be worn.
Do not operate the whirlpool system with the
suction cover/strainer removed!
It is a safety device and must always be in place on
the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard
of hair and body entrapment.
