Installation Guide

Protecting the Bath
Cover and protect the bath shell and xtures from scratches or other damages during the
installation and tests. Remove the access panels when moving the Walk in Bath and always
lift the bathtub from the frame (Page #2).
Water Test
Fill tub for a minimum of 20 minutes to test that the Hydro and Air Pumps are functioning
properly before nal in-wall installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.
Electrical
The unit MUST be connected to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) provided and installed by a licensed electrician and tested periodically (refer to
instructions provided by GFCI manufacturer). A separate 120 Volt and 30 Amp. GFCI breaker
is required. A dedicated line must be run from a breaker to the unit’s electrical junction
box following your local building and electrical codes. Usually, the black/brown (two) wire
is live/hot. The blue/white wire (in the middle) is neutral, and the green wire (bottom) is the
ground wire. A licensed electrician for your area is required to install and test the electrical
installation process.
DO NOT use any kind of extension cords to power the unit.
Operating the pumps without rst lling the bath to above the jets can cause permanent
damage to your equipment.
Push the GFCI “test” button into “reset” mode. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner,
there is a ground current ow or a device malfunction, indicating the possibility of electrical
shock. If this occurs, turn OFF the power and do not use the bathtub until the source of the
problem has been identied and corrected.
