MODEL:Mazatlan Installation instructions:
A Water supply: Hot and cold water supply lines are half inch NPT pipe thread
Power supply : A 220Volt , 13 amp service with GFI is necessary to energize the steam room-spa and
a 110 volt 11.8 amp circuit with GFI is needed for the whirlpool bath. Please note: If you have
purchased aTub with the additional heater option it is very important to understand that the
electrical requirements for your unit have changed. The heater requires a second separate electrical
circuit that can supply13 amps at 110 volts with GFI in addition to what your tub had originally
needed.
B The size of breakers and wire gages needed is determined by local, state and national codes as
interpreted by the installing electrician. The length of the wire going to the steam generator from the
wall should be 5 feet, while the length of the telephone line needed is 7 feet. This allows the unit to
be pulled out from the side walls if maintenance is ever needed.
C . Drainage: The diameter of the drain pipe needs to be at least 2 inches. The position of the drain
hole can be within 6 inches from the hole shown in the drawing. It is also very important that the
drain line not have a trap. It must be a straight drain line, as the shower-spa has its own built in
trap for your convenience.
Notes:
(1) The distance from thetop of the steam room to the ceiling of the area where it is installed should
be 4 inches or greater. (The room should be at least 4 inches taller than the spa.)
(2) It is recommended that the water pressure be at least 43 PSI and both the cold and hot water
pressure should be as equal as possible. If the pressure is lower than required, have your plumber
install the necessary equipment to increase the water supply pressure.
(3) Please have ground fault interrupter (GFI) protection on all power supply lines to the spa.
(4) It is easier to line up all panels with the hardware loose. During initial assembly please attach all
fasteners loosely, then when the unit is completely erected, snug up all bolts and screws.
1. Place the shower / tub floor
unit (as pictured to the right)
16-24 inches from its final
installed location. Now
adjust the leveling feet to
bring the unit flat and level
by using a 3 foot level and
an open end or adjustable
wrench to turn the adjusting
nuts. (2 shown of 4) This will
raise or lower each corner as
needed. Once the unit is level
and flat lock each leg into
position with its locking nut .
Step 1

Carefully lift (two
p e o p l e a r e
recomended) the
back panel onto the
bathtub. Fasten them
together using 1/4x1
inch bolts with the
gaskets in place.
Step 4
Step 5
3. Lift the left
back-panel onto the
bathtubs back edge
(two people are
recommended) as
shown in the
drawings and photos,
align the mounting
holes of the back-
panel with the holes
drilled into the
bathtub. Connect the
sides of both panels
with ¼ x 5/8 inch
bolts and connect the
bottom of the panel to
the tub with ¼ x 1
inch bolts hand tight.
4. Assemble the right
side as you did the
left.
There are four gaskets wire tied as shown in the
photo to the far left. Remove them by clipping
the wire tie. They are inserted into the top and
bottom of both wide vertical aluminum channels
as shown by the arrows in the photos to the near
left.
Step 2
Step 3

Lift the fixed glass frame onto the bathtub as shown; slide it into the aluminum extrusion of the
left side panel. When it has bottomed out into the vertical extrusion and the bottom of the glass
panel is lying flat on the tub-lip surface as shown, attach with two 3/16 x 5/8 inch self-tapping
screws from the side as shown. (Two people are recommended for this procedure. One to hold
the pieces in place while the other screws the panel in place.)

Lift the fixed glass frame onto the bathtub as shown in photo; slide it into the aluminum
extrusion of the right side panel. When it has bottomed out into the vertical extrusion and the
bottom of the glass panel is lying flat on the tub-lip surface as shown, drill two 1/16 inch pilot
holes. After you have inserted the middle glass frame with the sliding glass door and the
alignment has been checked to be square and plumb, attach with two 3/16 x 5/8 inch self-
tapping screws from the side as shown. (Two people are recommended for this procedure.
One to hold the pieces in place while the other drills and screws the panel in place.)

All the panels and glass sections should still be loose or only
slightly hand tight. Lift the roof-ceiling section onto the top of
the shower assembly and align all the holes. Connect the roof
with the back-panel with 1/4 X 5/8 inch hex bolts, and connect to
the aluminum extrusions of the glass door frame with 3/16 X 5/8
self-tapping screws. Now snug up all fasteners (Except as
mentioned in step 9) while making sure the unit is plumb and
square.
Step 9
Step 6
L ift the middle glass section ( with the sliding glass
door section)(two people are recommended) onto the
bathtub as shown in the photo, slip it into the
aluminum extrusions on the left and right sides,
making sure they bottom out into the vertical
extrusions. (You may have to tap them into place
with a rubber mallet) the complete glass wall and
back panel assembly should be able to stand by itself
without additional support. After the roof/ ceiling has
been secured, some final self-tapping screws will be
used to fasten the glass wall to the bathtub.
Step 8
After the roof-ceiling has been secured, 2 self-
tapping screws will be used to fasten the glass wall to the
bathtub. Please pre-drill pilot holes through the extrusion (Two
people are recommended for this procedure, one to hold the
pieces in place while the other drills and screws the door frame
onto the bathtub) before screwing it in place. The photos below
(by way of the black lines) show recommended positions for the
screw holes but any two convenient places will do.
Step 10

Please note: If you have purchased a Tub with the additional heater option it is very important to
understand that the electrical requirements for your unit have changed. The heater requires a second
separate electrical circuit that can supply 13 amps at 110 volts in addition to what your tub had originally
needed.
Pick a side wall water jet pipe that is convenient to work on. Measure the distance taken up by the water
heater. (Approximately 7 and 5/8 inches). Cut this part out. Glue the ends of the water heater and wait
until the glue sets as per the manufactures instructions. Plug the heater in. It has its own thermostatically
controlled on/off and temperature controls. It will turn on when there is water present and the temperature
is below 102degrees and will shut off at 104 degrees. Remember that this heater is plugged into a
separate GFI 110 volt circuit.

The appropriate outlets/
inlets are labeled in the
diagram and are visible in
the photo. The Steam
generator drain hose is
pushed onto the fitting
(straight or elbow)
connected to the Steam
Generator. It is
secured to this fitting by a
clamp and a 3/16 X 5/8
inch round head fastener
as is shown in the above
figure. It is also shown
assembled in the photo
below.

Telephone, CD, loudspeaker, ED lights, fan, control panel, and the ozonizer O3 shower self cleaner,
Connect the wires sharing the same labels and/or properly mated connector pairs.
Step 14
The coupling at the end of the sprayer hose should be
screwed in to the nozzle located in the high left-hand corner
of the back panel as you enter the tub. Then the hand-held
shower head can be inserted into its storage cradle as
shown in the drawing.
Use the same technique to install the foot massage unit. Its nozzle is located in the lower right-hand
corner of the back panel as you enter the tub. When using the foot massager open the cover of the
unit as depicted in the illustration.

Step 16

The auxiliary input for your sound
system is located on the control box as
shown. The radio antenna is shown in its
coiled condition. It must be uncoiled and
draped down the back of the shower
panel for best reception.
While the Mazatlan is still 16-24 inches away from its
final installed position all joints and seams should be
calked with a high grade silicone sealant Then fully
test the unit Then slide it into its final installed
position
The selector dial is used to switch between the various shower options. The icons label the positions
the selector must be turned to so that (from the 9, 12 and 3 O’clock positions) the handheld shower
head, rainfall shower or tub filler can be used. The dial below the selector is used to turn the water on
and to adjust its pressure. Twisting the bottom dial adjusts the water temperature.
