Whirlpool Tub Operation
[Insert photo: Mountain Laurel whirlpool control panel — distinct multi-knob system, needs its own photo, not the simple push-button style used in Toalson/main-inn rooms]
The bathroom is equipped with a free-standing whirlpool tub. Turn the faucet control knob right to fill the tub, or left to direct water to the showerhead (remove the showerhead from its holster first — it will spray immediately). The temperature control knob is to the right of the faucet control: turn left for heat, right for cold; click down the side button and turn all the way left for maximum heat. The control panel to the right of the temperature control operates the jets and underwater lamp — make sure the jets are fully submerged before activating (filling just above the jets is enough). The water pump key on the panel activates the jets, and the silver knobs at the far right of the tub rim control jet pressure and speed. The silver cap opposite the tub controls raises and lowers the drain plug.
