4.2 Plumbing Installation Requirements
NOTE: Only a qualified/certified/licensed plumber is authorized to make the plumbing
installation strictly according to all local plumbing installation requirements.
The unit’s power supply must be shut off prior to installation and/or any work on the
unit.
For plumbing installation, the
right hand side panel of the unit
must be carefully removed.
After installation, the side panel
must be reinstalled before
operating the unit.
Minimum allowed water
pressure is 1.5 bars (21.75 psi) and maximum allowed water pressure is 4 bars (58
psi).
Pressure difference between cold and hot water supply must not exceed 2 bars (29
psi).
For normal over-body jet operation, the cold water must be between +50 to +59°F
(+10 to +15°C) and the hot water between +122 to +140°F (+50 to +60°C).
Cold water supplying the steam generator must have measured water hardness
below 71ppm USA (<4 PH German); if the water supply is harder, a water softener
must be installed for the steam generator.
The water supply for this unit must be mechanically cleaned/filtered. In order to
avoid damage to the unit subparts, nonsoluble, solid elements in the water supply
must be less than 50 microns. In order to guarantee that, it is necessary to install
mechanical water filters (50 micron filtering). Filters must have a flow rate of 2.5
gallons (9.5 liters) per minute.
All other water supply characteristics must meet the local drinking water
requirements.
Water supply connections in capsule are for ½” water inlets and the drain is 40mm.
BOTH THE COLD AND HOT WATER SUPPLY MUST HAVE SHUTOFF
(OPEN/CLOSE) VALVES THAT WOULD ENABLE REGULAR, EASY OPENING
AND CLOSING OF THE VALVES.
IN ORDER TO AVOID WATER SUPPLY PIPE BURSTS AND/OR FLOODING, THIS
UNIT MUST BE PROTECTED WITH COLD AND HOT WATER SHUTOFF
VALVES. SHUTOFF VALVES ENABLE THE OPERATOR TO CUT OFF THE
WATER SUPPLY WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT BEING OPERATED. THIS UNIT MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE WATER PRESSURE CONTINUOUSLY; THE
WATER SUPPLY MUST BE CUT OFF AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT IN USE.
½” hot and cold lines should come from the floor or wall to the area where the unit is
to be placed. Connect them to the ½” male connections on the thermostatic mixing
valve on the right side of the unit.
Ensure that the water lines are purged of sand and grit prior to final connection to
the unit.
