Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Read through the entire manual completely before beginning installation.
Thermostatic Control Valve Operations Instructions Continued On Pages 11 & 12
According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE®), water in a home system needs to be stored at 140°F (60°C) otherwise Legionella
disease bacteria (LDB) is susceptible to growth.
Safety is one of our greatest concerns and that is why we use a Thermostatic Control Valve to
regulate temperature output. Some plumbers and contractors recommend that home owners
and installers reduce the temperature of their water heaters to save energy and prevent
scalding. This isn’t a recommendation we would give, and would guide you away from doing so.
Page. 5

Electrical:
The unit MUST be connected to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
provided and installed by a licensed electrician and tested periodically (refer to instructions
provided by GFCI manufacturer). Operating the pumps without first filling the bath to above the
jets can cause permanent damage to your equipment. Push the GFCI “test” button into “reset”
mode. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flow or a device
malfunction, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. If this occurs, turn OFF the power and do
not use the bathtub until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
NOTE: One (1) 120V GFCI 20AMP breaker/dedicated line to plug in a single connection.
Water Test:
It is important to test that the Microbubble Therapy System is functioning properly before final in-
wall installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.
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 drains (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 grab 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 if applicable for another 30 minutes and inspect for leaks again.

Your walk in bathtub has been tested and leveled properly before leaving our facility. Our
Microbubble Pet Spa have been set on a perfectly level surface to ensure no leaks and proper door
closing. It is up to your installer to test and make any adjustments necessary to ensure that all leveling
legs support the tub frame and that the door is aligned correctly to prevent any leaks. The door must
close smoothly to create a water tight seal. If the tub is not perfectly leveled, it may cause frame and
shell warping which can cause changes in door alignment resulting in water leakage and void the
warranty.
Extending or shortening the legs will help correct any alignment issues to close the gap between the
door and the frame. Please call 1-800-480-6850 immediately if any issues arise or if you have any
concerns.

It is the responsibility of the installer or owner to provide access for service required, per code. Ella
is not responsible for any costs related to obtaining access for repair. The owner shall assume
responsibility for such costs, and if appropriate, must seek recovery from the installer.
Do not insulate around the tub equipment. The tub, frame and all parts have been engineered to
provide the proper ventilation. Any obstructions may cause the pumps or other electrical
components to overheat.
Please keep in mind that the door has been closed for an extended period of time throughout
shipping and the bathtub has been stored in various temperatures. It is possible for the silicone seal
to stick to the frame when stored for extended periods of time. When the bathtub is received, the
door seal should be checked for deformations from shipping and re-formed and adjusted where
necessary. To restore the door seal, the seal must be released and allowed to relax with the door
open. This is done by squeezing the seal with your finger tips and pulling it away from the door
frame to regain its flexibility and original form. It is recommended that the door be kept open when
not in use to increase the lifetime of the door seal and maintain its flexibility.

Deck Mounted Thermostatic Control Valve
The purpose of a Thermostatic Control Valve (TCV) is to regulate the temperature of water
before it reaches your sink or bathtub faucet. A TCV ensures constant temperature of water by
blending hot water with cold water to prevent scalding or thermal shock. There are
circumstances where inlet temperature and pressure are inconsistent and pose potential
danger to a bather. Responding to these variations in temperature and pressure is the only way
to ensure maximum safety.
What is a Thermostatic Control Valve:

Thermostatic Control Valve Features:

www.ellasbubbles.com
Deck Mounted Thermostatic Control Valve
Before the use of tempered water in a bathtub, outlet temperature is adjusted by a thermostat in the mixing
chamber of the valve. The thermostat automatically positions a seat assembly which controls the flow of hot and
cold water supplied to the mixing chamber. If the mixed outlet temperature decreases, the cold water inlet port
gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by the contraction of the thermostat. On the contrary, if the
mixed outlet temperature increases, the hot water inlet port gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by
the expansion of the thermostat. In both cases, outlet water temperature is fixed at a set point.
How Does A Thermostatic Control Valve Work:
Note: Cleaning and replacement of TCV cartridge due to calcium or other particle buildup in water is the
customer’s responsibility. Ella’s Bubbles will provide cleaning of the cartridges at no cost if they are shipped to Ella’s
Bubbles facility. For technical support, sales or to order a part call toll free 1-800-480-6850.

Microbubbles can deeply clean the skin by penetrating into the
pores and removing dirt, impurities, and bacteria.
There will be no need for extra soap or detergents.
The energy generated during the explosion of microbubbles can
heat up the deep layer of the dog's body and can keep it warm
for a long time to improve all kinds of pains.
Microbubbles can keep your pet's skin clean and smooth even
after the Microbubble Therapy experience is over.
