WARNING: When using your Hydro Systems whirlpool tub, basic precautions should be followed.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
2. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer.
3. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
4. Do not operate this unit without suction cover installed.
5. The unit must be connected only to a dedicated electrical supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis by
the homeowner. 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 fault, indicating
the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the tub. Disconnect the power and have the problem corrected by
a qualied service representative. Re-test the GFCI and only when it is operating properly may the whirlpool tub
be used.
6. A terminal is provided on the exterior of the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal
to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this equipment.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. WEIGHT: Tubs must be installed in a location that will support the combined weight of the tub plus the water
plus the bather. As a rule of thumb, this will be a maximum of 1000 lbs. for a 60" tub, 1200 lbs. for a 66" tub, and
1400 lbs. for a 72" tub.
2. TILE FLANGES: Tubs can be installed as a drop-in unit or they can be installed against one, two or three walls.
Tubs installed against walls should be ordered with a tile ange on each side that will be against a wall to
provide a leak free water barrier.
3. FRAMING: When framing it is best to measure the actual tub to be installed to determine faming dimensions.
In the abscence of the actual tub, refer to the Hydro Systems catalog drawings or website at www.hydrosystem.com.
