SHOULD BE AVOIDED & REMOVED IMMEDIATELY TO PRESERVE THE HIGH GLOSS ACRYLIC SURFACE:

!When filling the bath start with cold water to allow the bath to gradually adapt to the temperature.

!After using your bath clean with a soft cloth & warm soapy water to clean any oils or soap, to prevent tide marks

& preserve the polished surface.

!Clean using warm soapy water & only mild liquid detergents. Do not use powders, pastes, creams, chemicals, window

cleaning sprays or abrasive cleaners.

!Cream cleaners may only be used to remove stubborn marks.

!Scratches can be removed with a fine polish like Brasso.

INSTALLATION STEPS

STEP 1.

Unpackage your freestanding bath. Check for damage

and ensure your bath does not come in contact with any

rough surfaces which may scratch your bath. Place your

freestanding bath on cardboard or carpet during installation.

STEP 2.

Place the freestanding bath in the correct position for

installation.

Adjust the leveling feet until the bath base is 3-5mm above

the finished floor. If measuring from the unfinished floor take

into account the floor finishing thickness (such as tiles) into

account. Turn the feet bolts and level accordingly.

Ensure there is 3-5mm of space between the bottom of

the bath shell and the floor. Installing directly on the floor

will place pressure on the outside wall of the bath, and will

potentially crack the bath.

Ensure the bath is level so all water can drain to the waste outlet.

STEP 3

Carefully tilt the bath (or support in raised position) and install

the overflow and waste as per manufacturers installation as

provided in the cartons.

STEP 4 PUMP MOUNTING

With the bath level set (and levelled) confirm the centre points

for the 2 x 40mm couplings on the back of the spa. These are

nominally 210mm and 295mm, but the measurements must

be confirmed prior to proceeding.

3-5mm gap

between the bottom

of the bath & the floor

Check the contents of the carton include the following:

1. Complete spa bath with the pipework and touch pad

installed

2. Pump carton wrapped in foam

3. An installation kit consisting of:

a. Control cable for pump

b. 2 x 90’elbows

c. 2 x couplings for install and serviceability

d. 1 x cover plate

4. A pop-down overflow kit

5. A pop-down waste with connector

If any of these items are missing, please immediately

contact your retailer.

Determine the distance from the back of the bath to the other

side of the wall, and cut 2* pieces of 40mm pipe (not supplied)

to be able to fit from inside the couplings on the back of the

bath, through the wall, and have 100mm on the other side of

the wall (this will be trimmed once installed through the wall)

Glue these pipes into the couplings on the back of the bath.

Connect the controls lead to the touch pad on the pump,

and feed the end with the rubber cap on it through the holes

created above. Once this has been fed through, push the pipes

through the holes, and the bath against the wall.

Once the height has been confirmed,

measure centrepoints on the

corresponding wall (again measuring

from the same floor level) and drill 2

x 75mm (minimum) holes through the

wall to the exterior, or the location

where the pump will be located.

INSTALLATION STEPS

STEP 5 INSTALL THE PUMP

Install the pump as per the installation manual provided with

the pump.

STEP 6 FIT THE COVER PLATE

Install the cover plate around the pipework (ensuring

the notch for the cable aligns with the cable) as per the

installation instructions provided with the cover plate.

STEP 7 WATER TEST SPA

Water Testing Spa

Once the waste has been connected, and the spa is in position,

fill the bath with water and let sit for 10 minutes. Inspect

under the bath for any visible leaking. Start the spa pump and

allow to run. After 10 minutes check for any visible leaking

under the spa.

Allow the water to sit for a further 10 minutes and check for

any visible leaking under the spa.

Drain the bath ensuring the water drains and there is no

leaking through the flexible connector.

Connect the release coupling

With the bath in position, and the pipes through the wall, cut

the pipes to be protruding the wall by 50mm, and glue on the

male manifold couplings.

Next, join the female half of the coupling to the 90 degree

elbow supplied, and connect this to the male section of the

coupling.

There should still be approx.

15mm from the inside of the

coupling to wall to allow the

cover plate to be installed.

Measure the distance from the wall to the centre of the elbow.

This is the centrepoint for the pump to be installed on.

SILICONE

Note steps 5B to 5D show the seals being installed

on the door with the frame removed for clarity.

Install the vertical door seals along the whole height

of the door, and ﬁt the bottom drip strips in between.

Cut the seals to the correct length before ﬁtting.

Silicone inside and outside of

the shower (silicone not

supplied).

24 h

STEP 7

Once the above water testing has been completed, apply

silicone along the bottom of the spa at the floor join.
