Protecting the Bath
Cover and protect the bath shell and fixtures from scratches or other damages during the
installation and tests. Remove the access panels when moving the acrylic alcove bathtub
and always lift the bathtub from the frame.
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). Electrical requirements vary based on
package; please refer to package diagrams included in the specifications. 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 first filling 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 flow 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 identified and corrected.
Water Test
It is important to test that the Microbubble Pump is functioning properly before final in-wall
installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.
