Estate Series Owner's Manual & Installation Guide
PLUMBING
1. After securing tub in place, normal waste and overflow, water spout and valves are installed per normal plumbing
procedures, in accordance with all state and local standards.
2. Install standard 1-1/2” trap to drain and overflow. Before proceeding make final operational check by filling tub with
water to overflow and operate pump for 5 minutes. Check for leaks carefully both while pump is running and has been
turned off. Allow water to stand in tub for at least 30 minutes before draining. Aquatic WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR WATER DAMAGE OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH ONE OF OUR WHIRLPOOL BATHS.
3. When selecting fill spout location, check to ensure that spout is long enough to clear the tub rim from its desired location.
If installation is to be on the tub deck, check the back side of tub for adequate space for connection to water lines before
drilling or cutting tub.
4. An unobstructed access panel of a minimum of a 16” square must be provided adjacent to motor/pump assembly.
FINAL SYSTEM TEST & CLEAN-UP
System Test
To test system, follow these steps in order listed:
1. Fill clean tub with water to a point no less than 2” (50) above the highest jet.
2. To test the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI), push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the
reset button. Power should be resorted. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing,
indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected
by a licensed electrician before using.
3. Push on/off button on the whirlpool.
4. Allow system to run a full 10 minutes.
5. Through access door or removable skirt, check for leaks in whirlpool plumbing system. Make sure half-unions at both
ends of pump are hand-tight. If leakage is occurring at any other points, notify distributor.
6. If any electrical malfunctions occur, immediately unplug the unit and consult a licensed electrician. Malfunctions of the pump/
motor, whirlpool controls or the circulating system should be reported to the distributor who supplied the whirlpool tub.
Clean-up
1. Remove all construction residue and foreign materials. Wipe unit clean with a damp rag, otherwise staining may occur.
2. Plaster may be removed by scraping with the edge of a piece of wood or rigid plastic. DO NOT use metal scraper. For
spots left by plaster or grout: rub lightly with a liquid detergent (Spic-N-Span
®
or similar) on a damp cloth or sponge.
3. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, steel wool, wire brushes or anything else that may harm or dull the
surface.
4. Paint, tar or stubborn stains may be removed with paint thinner, turpentine or rubbing alcohol. To avoid discoloration,
cleaners containing petroleum distillate must not remain on surfaces. NEVER use lacquer thinner or chlorinated solvents.
5. Dulled areas can be restored to a high gloss with white or cream-colored automotive rubbing compound, followed by
application of carnauba wax or white or cream automotive paste wax and buffing.
6. Major gouges require professional repair. Contact Aquatic to arrange factory-authorized repair services.
