The whole point of a whirlpool tub is deep relaxation and tension relief. But it’s hard to relax if you can’t remember the last time you flushed the lines in the tub (eww…). The MTI Fill-Flush and Simple Touch cleaning systems have been in the MTI catalog for a while – but for those people concerned with bacteria and mold growth due to stagnant water (so, like, all of us), they’re as relevant as the first day MTI introduced them. With less than five minutes and with less than 10 gallons of water, these systems provide that deep relaxation only a (very clean) whirlpool can. Ahhh.
Simple Touch® and Fill-Flush® whirlpool cleaning systems are designed to keep your bath clean and hygienic. Both systems clean the internal whirlpool plumbing system in less than 5 minutes and with less than 10 gallons of water. The Fill-Flush system allows water to fill the bath through the whirlpool jets. So there is no need for the traditional filling spout; only hot and cold valves. Simple Touch, on the other hand, permits the use of a filling spout of choice and provides the added benefit of automatic operation.

By their nature, whirlpool plumbing lines have a tendency to harbor soap residue, body oils, dirt and water deposits. The two patented cleaning systems offered exclusively by MTI circulate cleaning solution and fresh water through the internal plumbing system, including the water and air lines, point-massage jets and pump.
These 2 systems are not only efficient in their use of energy and water, but their cleaning effectiveness has also been documented. In fact, The National Sanitation Foundation conducted tests on the MTI Fill-Flush / Simple Touch system with Fresh Wave cleaner. The test results show that MTI’s cleaning system meets the bacteria cleaning requirements for pools and spas, as specified by the National Standards Foundation (NSF) / American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in Standard 50 — a standard requiring a 99.9% reduction in Streptococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Operation is simple. After enjoying a whirlpool bath, drain the tub. Then close the point-massage jets, add cleaning solution, such as MTI’s Fresh Wave, in the deck-mounted reservoir, turn on the water and run for 3 minutes. Fresh water and cleaning solution circulate from air line to water line, through the pump, out the suction and down the drain to flush away any residue from the internal plumbing system. (Simple Touch simplifies this further by turning the water flow on at the touch of a button and automatically shutting it off after 3 minutes.) When the process is complete, open the jets. Fresh tap water will then run out of the jets and down the drain, ensuring that the next bath is sparkling clean.
A thorough whirlpool cleaning system is as important as a complete hydrotherapy experience. MTI whirlpools with Fill-Flush or Simple Touch help keep your bath sparkling clean and hygienic.
