Pegasus Aphrodite Air-Spa User manual

Aphrodite Air-Spa System Instrucons
USER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instrucons fully before preparing
to t the system to the bath.
Please Note: That the electrical instrucons are a
guide to United Kingdom requirements and may
not apply worldwide.
Always use a qualied electrician and comply
with local regulaons.
2. Fit the legs and feet to the bath in accordance
with the bath manufacturers instrucons. Ensure
that sucient room is available to site the air
blower and pipework.
3. Determine the posions in the bath of control
and jets. Ensure that the control is set on the
top surface of the bath, well above the overow
level and that sucient room exists on the
underside of the bath for the backnut and pipe
connecons. (See Fig. 01). The jets will usually be
posioned in a paern on the base of the bath.
Some people like to leave a clear area for the
seat. Take care to posion the jets so that they
are fully on the baseboard, not half-and-half. (See
Fig. 02).
The baseboard must be in full contact with the
bath at the jet posions. Ensure that the legs
or baens xed to the base of the bath will not
obstruct jet xing. The jet paern is oponal,
to suit the shape of the bath and individual
requirements.
4. Drilling the holes. The jets are 13mm diameter.
44mm hole size for the ON/OFF control. 44mm
holes should be produced using a standard hole
saw. 13mm holes are best produced using the
at bit included in the kit. A new, sharp twist
drill is not recommended as this will tend to
chip the plasc and separate it from the base
board.
If a twist drill is to be used, the edge should
rst be removed with an oil stone to produce a
negave rake cung edge. Aer drilling, remove
burrs from around the holes, taking care to avoid
chipping.
5. Using a small amount of silicone sealant,
posion and x the control.
6. Fix the jets using silicone sealant, ensure any
excess is cleaned o, as this will impair the
operaon of the water non-return system. The
special nut used to x the jets should be hand
ghtened only. It is designed to prevent over
ghtening. (See Fig. 03).
7. Using the plasc es, secure the Harord
safety loop and manifolds. The non-return valve
must be accessable from panel side. (See Fig. 04).

8. Connect the 9mm. bore pipe between the
jets and manifold, starng with the jets farthest
away. Secure with clips provided.
9. Posion the blower unit so that aer bath has
been installed the blower will be inaccessible to
persons using the bath.
10. Measure and cut to length the convoluted
pipe and screw on the cus (Maximum 1m is
supplied). Silicone around periphery of hose
before screwing cus on.
11. Fit the pipe between the blower unit outlet
and non-return valve, also between air trap and
manifold.
12. Push small bore pipe rmly on to buon and
control unit.
13. Prior to installing the bath the system
should be tested. This means lling the bath
with water to the level of the overow and
leaving it to stand for a period of at least 20
minutes. The system then needs to be tested
working with the compressor working. This
entails connecng the blower to a mains supply.
Electrical connecons should only be entrusted
to a qualied electrician, and made to exisng
local standards. In the UK this is I. E. E. Wiring
Regulaons, 16th Edion. The electrical supply
must be via an Earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB or RCD), 13 amp. Minimum, 30 milliamp
trip switch. The supply should be on a switched
fused spur, ed outside the room in which the
bath is to be tested. The supply must be checked
to ensure earthing is present and sasfactory.
14. Test procedure:
a) Isolate the power.
b) Ensure the bath is clear of debris and
ll with water.
c) Inspect carefully for leaks.
d) Switch on power.
e) Press on/o buon to start system.
f) Press buon again to stop the
system. (NB 0n 3 speed systems the buon
needs to be pressed four mes to go through
the 3 levels of power to o)
BATH INSTALLATION
1. Install the bath as per the bath manufacturer’s
instrucons - the addion of an Aphrodite spa
does not alter the bath installaon procedure in
any way. Take care to prevent excessive plaster
dust or le grout etc. geng into the bath as this
could clog the nozzles.
2. Place the compressor pipe clips on to the cu
of the compressor pipe and push the pipe on to
the compressor outlet.
3. Posion the compressor under the bath so
that the compressor casing is well clear of the
underside of the bath and the surrounding wall.
Also check at this stage that the bath panel will
t without touching the compressor. Ensure that
the air intake is completely free of obstrucon.
4. The system is now ready for electrical
connecon. This should only be entrusted to a
qualied electrical engineer and be carried out
in accordance with, I.E.E., regulaons, 15th.
Edion. A switched 13 amp fused spur, ed
outside the room where the spa bath is installed.
The isolang switch should preferably be at a
level where young children cannot reach.
5. Check the operaon of the compressor. Press
the buon rmly once to start and again to stop.
Important Note: Before ng the panel, ll the
bath with water to the level of the overow and
ensure that the whole system is leak free for a
period of at least 1 hour.
