OPERATING YOUR NEW WHIRLPOOL
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow all industry standard plumbing procedures for installation of overflow and drain.
Care must be taken to insure watertight connections. The diagrams below are typical drain installations for
Watertech Whirlpool Baths. For best results follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your drain Before you turn your whirlpool on it should be filled with water two inches
above the highest jet. To turn the whirlpool on press the round ON/OFF

button installed on your tub. To turn the bath off press the button again.
If the pump does not start, either the GFCI is tripped, there is no electrical
power, or the tube to the motor is disconnected at the air switch or motor.
For tubs that do not come with installed buttons and controls, the installer
must mount all controls above water level on a nearby surface.
THREE SPEED CONTROL
The three speed control button allows the bather to simultaneously switch all jets from high to
medium to low instead of individually adjusting each jet’s pressure.
ADJUSTING YOUR TUB’S JETS
Your Watertech Whirlpool Bath comes equipped with high performance spa jets that allow the
bather complete control of water pressure and direction. Rotating the jet’s circular face to the right
increases the water pressure and volume or to the left reduces the pressure and volume. The
direction of the water flow may be changed by moving the jet eyeball up, down, left, or right to
