MAINTENANCE OF THE VECTA
MAINTENANCE OF BUBBLE TUBE
Bubble Tube is all LED so no bulbs to burn out or replace. Other than cleaning and water maintenance (see below), there is not much else to do. See Bubble Tube Maintenance on the next page. Use ONLY TFH Approved Disinfecting Cleaning Spray (9BCC) or Disinfecting Cleaning Wipes (9BCCW) on the acrylic tube. No chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other disinfecting sprays or wipes.
MAINTENANCE OF TFH FIBER OPTIC STRANDS
The TFH Fiber Optic Strands should be cleaned regularly using a solution of 50:50 water and hydrogen peroxide or the Disinfecting Cleaning Spray (9BCC) or Disinfecting Cleaning Wipes (9BCCW) wiped down the entire length of the strands. No chlorine bleach should be used to clean the strands.
Check ends of strands regularly for frayed ones and cut them as close to the light source as possible. Turn off the Vecta before cutting the strands.
MAINTENANCE OF FIBER OPTIC LIGHT SOURCE The light source uses an LED light so there is no need to replace bulbs. Use clean damp cloth to wipe the outside of light source box if necessary.
MAINTENANCE OF SOLAR 80 PROJECTOR A clean damp cloth to wipe the outside of the projector. Compressed air to remove dust from inside the projector.
MAINTENANCE OF ACRYLIC MIRRORS Use a very soft cloth and non-astringent cleaner on mirrors. We recommend vinegar and water solution.
YOU CAN USE THE DISINFECTING CLEANING SPRAY (9BCC) or WIPES (9BCCW) ON ALL EXTERIOR PARTS OF THE VECTA TO DISINFECT.
For Extended Storage: When placing the Vecta in storage for an extended period of time, the Bubble Tube should be drained with the TFH Drain Pump (sold separately) or wheel the Vecta to shower stall or outdoors, remove stopper plug from top of Bubble Tube, remove white cap, slide Bubble Tube forward, and tilt Bubble Tube forward disposing water.
If you have any questions on the use or assembly of the Vecta, call TFH at 1-800-467-6222 and we will be happy to help.

MAINTENANCE OF THE BUBBLE TUBE DO NOT USE any premoistened wipes, disinfecting sprays or any alcohol, ammonia or bleach based cleaners on the Bubble Tube. This will deteriorate the acrylic and result in spider cracks which will cause leaks in the Bubble Tube. A quart of Disinfecting Cleaning Spray (9BCC) is included with every Vecta.
TFH USA recommends that you use Gold Bond Hand Sanitizer before touching our Bubble Tubes. Any of the alcohol-based hand sanitizers will transfer that alcohol to the Tube resulting in spider cracks and leaks.
Regular maintenance of the TFH Bubble Tube includes… MONTHLY: Add anti-algae solution to the bubble tube water. Add 2 oz. of diluted or a few drops of concentrated anti-algae preventer to water. EVERY THREE MONTHS: Empty the entire contents of the bubble tube with the DRAINAGE PUMP (sold separately - 9BCPUMP) every three months. Remember to add an extra two ounces of anti-algae solution every time you change the DISTILLED water in your Bubble Tube. CLEAN INSIDE OF BUBBLE TUBE: Empty entire contents of the bubble tube with Drainage Pump. Add a couple inches of DISTILLED water and a drop or two of Dawn dishwashing detergent to the inside. Use a dedicated microfiber mop to clean the inside of the Tube. Rinse thoroughly several times with distilled water to remove all soap residue. CLEAN OUTSIDE OF BUBBLE TUBE: Recommended EXTERIOR disinfectant: DISINFECTING CLEANING SPRAY (included-9BCC) or DISINFECTING WIPES (9BCCW). This is a hospital-grade disinfectant that has been tested on our bubble Tubes and will not crack the acrylic. REFILL BUBBLE TUBE: While Bubble Tube is running, fill Tube with DISTILLED water . Adding tap water, even a small amount, will contaminate the Bubble Tube and greatly increase the chance of algae growth.
Gallons of DISTILLED Water To “FILL LINE” 1.2M Tubes 5.5 gallons (approx.) 1.75M Tube 8 gallons (approx.) 2M Tube 9 gallons (approx.)
Keep extra DISTILLED water on hand to replenish when water evaporates (naturally occurring). If water is 2- 3” below “FILL LINE” check base for leaks and call us immediately and do not turn off Bubble Tube.
