the installation are your selected fittings and electrical connections for
a whirlpool. To insure maximum performance and pleasure from this
product, please follow the instructions and cautions.
General Installation Information
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage.
If such damage is found, report it to your vendor immediately. After
inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction
damage. Before installation, and before enclosing with wallboard,
tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks. Do not make
modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory
mounting. This could adversely affect the safety and performance of
the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the
whirlpool by the pump, motor, or piping system. Fittings (bath filler,
shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered
separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Access to Pump/Motor may be
made through the access opening in the apron panel. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for
access to the drain components.
NOTE: The apron may be used as the primary access opening.
1. As shown in Fig. 1, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs, using a level or other
suitable straight edge.
2. With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.
3. Install drain components to the whirlpool or bath following the manufacturers instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for
suggested opening size and location dimensions.
4. THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG ITS ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of mortar as bedding
material (sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of the bath. After the bedding
has been poured, and before it sets, position whirlpool or bath within recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling
stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below. The rim of the bath MUST NOT support weight. Allow the
bedding material to completey harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as
tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other
applicable codes.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:
1. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
3. Install to permit access for servicing.
4. All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential. Heater equipped models require a separate 15 amp maximum
GFCI circuit. SAFE-T-HEATER EQUIPPED MODELS REQUIRE A SEPARATE 15 AMP MAXIMUM GFCI CIRCUIT.

WIRE SELECTION GUIDE
DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST
Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Check the
pump couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2" above the top of
the highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings
are factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occured during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is
connected to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on. Check for leaks around all piping connections while the
whirlpool is running.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or
stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span®mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.
Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing
with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
