EVERY FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS:

Empty the entire contents of the Bubble Tube with the Drainage Pump (9BCPUMP-sold separately) and clean the inside of Bubble Tube.

CLEAN INSIDE OF BUBBLE TUBE ONLY:

Empty entire contents of Bubble Tube with Drainage Pump. If you have a Ping Pong Insert, you will need to remove the beads and balls and the insert to properly clean the tube. Add a couple inches of DISTILLED water and a drop or two of Dawn™ dishwashing detergent to the inside. Use a dedicated microfiber rag mop to gently clean the inside of the tube. Rinse thoroughly with DISTILLED water several times to remove all soap residue. We recommend you do this a minimum of twice annually or if it will not being used for 30 days or more.

CLEAN OUTSIDE OF BUBBLE TUBE:

Recommended EXTERIOR disinfectant: Sensory Room Disinfectant Spray (9BCC) or Wipes (9BCCW) . Use soft cloth (no paper towels) with spray. Both are hospital-grade disinfectants that has been tested on our tubes and will not deteriorate the acrylic. The Spray comes in a 1- quart spray bottle. This cleaner may leave a cloudy residue which can be cleaned off with vinegar/water solution (50/50) and dried with a soft cloth. The Wipes container includes 160 wipes and dries clear.

REFILL BUBBLE TUBE:

While Bubble Tube is running, fill with DISTILLED water only . Adding tap water, even a small amount, will contaminate the Bubble Tube and greatly increase the chance of algae growth. Remember to add third (1/3) of the Bubble Safe bottle every time you change the DISTILLED water in your Bubble Tube. Amount of DISTILLED Water to “Fill Line”
