OWNER’S MANUAL
1.
All American Standard®walk-in baths are 100% water tested at the factory and have passed inspection.
Transportation and mishandling may loosen fittings and cause leaks. It is therefore necessary to
test the
bathtub while there is access to all sides of the bath.
2.
The unit needs to be filled with water and inspected for leaks along the door as well as the whirlpool and
air systems if equipped. The inspection needs to be performed with and without the whirlpool and / or ai
r
systems operating. It is best to test the unit outside by filling with a garden hose.
a. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.
b. Using a clean rag and warm water wipe down seal to insure it is free of debris.
c. Seal the drain hole (this can be done with tape) and fill the tub to at least three inches above
the highest jet, or to the bottom of the safety bar if no jets are present.
d. Allow the water to stand in tub for 30 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for leaks.
e. Using appropriately rated three-prong extension cords, all plugged in to separate outlets,
operate all electrical components (air blower, water pump, and heater if applicable) for another
30 minutes and inspect for leaks again. Inspect the unions around the pump and heater.
f. If a leak persists at a union after tightening, it may have been over-tightened or might have a
displaced O-ring. Disassemble it and make sure the O-ring was seated properly. Do the same
if a leak persists at the heater. Verify that the heater threads match the pipe threads.
g. Ensure that all jets are open and working, some jets are adjustable for both flow rate and
direction of flow. The jet water flow rate is adjusted by turning either the outside ring or the
inside nozzle clockwise or counterclockwise. Some jets are not adjustable at the jet face, but
can be adjust by the “Leg’s Only Massage”. The “Legs Only Massage” Valve is located near
the seat. (If equipped.) .
3.
If the pump/blower/lights/heater does not operate:
a. Check the breaker to ensure that power is on and make sure that any cables and / or air lines
connecting the control boxes to the switches and pumps are firmly attached. Verify the correct
electrical circuit and amps of the electrical cord.
b. Go to Trouble Shooting Guidelines. (See pages 24-26.)
c. Do not run any pumps unless the tub is filled with water to the proper level. Damage due to
dry operation of pumps is not covered under the warranty period. (See pg. 23.)
Failure to perform these tests before installation will make the installer liable for future repair costs.
