Note: This is a professional grade product. A knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electri-

cal installation according to codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recom-

mend that a licensed contractor perform the installation of all Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products. Our war-

ranty does not cover improper installation related problems.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the whirlpool system unless the bath is filled with water to at least 2" above the highest jet.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Do not use oil-based bath additives in your whirlpool bath.

When cleaning your bath, do not use abrasive substances which will damage the bath's surface.

To prevent discoloration of the acrylic finish, do not fill the bath with water in excess of 140°F (60°C).

The whirlpool system should be purged at least twice a month. For your convenience, we have developed a

plumbing system cleaner (Systems Clean™) specifically for whirlpool baths. For availability call 1-800-288-4002.

Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended

by the manufacturer.

This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the

test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to

operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this

unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified electrician before using.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor to permit connection of an No. 8AWG (8.4 mm)

solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity,

as needed to comply with local requirements.

This unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.

For built-in and drop-in units, install to permit access for servicing.

Framing and Support

The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and bather.

If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is

not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. Use a floor leveling compound. Do not

use mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam to set the bath as this will interfere with bath components

on the bottom of the bath. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.

The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added

weight must be fully self-supporting.

The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc.

during installation. Before installation, remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not re-

move until final cleanup.

In some cases, access may not have been provided

because of the design of the bath environment and

having full understanding that in this case, it may be

necessary to remove the unit for service.

If this is the case, diagnosing a problem may not be

possible without complete access to the plumbing sys-

tem. This would necessitate the removal of the unit.

Although this practice is not commonly implemented, it

is an acceptable method.

In some cases access may have been provided in Area

If service access has not been provided, it is the

home owners responsibility to remove the bath and

provide the required access, should a repair be-

come necessary.

WATER LEVEL SENSOR

The bath is equipped with a water level sensor. When the water level is below the sensor, the pump/motor can

not be activated. When the water goes above the level sensor, the pump/motor can then be activated. If the

water level drops below the level sensor, the pump/motor will shut off. To restart the pump/motor after the water

level goes above the level sensor, the ON/OFF button must be pressed.

Operation

Once the heater is installed and the whirlpool pump is operating, the heating function is totally automatic. The

heater will help maintain the temperature of the water in the bath.

Vacuum Switch

The heater is equipped with a preset vacuum switch which will not allow the heater to turn ON if the pump is not

running with water flowing through the whirlpool system.

High-Limit Switch

The heater includes an exclusive High-Limit switch. This safety circuit will not false trip from hot tap water. It will

only turn off the heater if the thermostat fails. To reset, press the button. If the high-limit trips frequently, contact

your dealer.
