Framing and Support The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor. The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and bather. Refer to the table under total weight for your model. The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath.
INTEGRAL SKIRT MOUNTING DETAIL Corner Baths with Skirt If an optional skirt is used on a corner bath, additional support is necessary in the front of the unit. Measure the height from the floor to the underside of the bath rim. Cut two 2" x 4" studs, apply adhesive to both ends and install (see roughing in reference).
Service Access Reinstalling Panel For partially or fully sunken installations, allow for access to service connections. It is the installer's responsibility to provide sufficient service access. The recommended minimum dimensions allowable for service to the bath are shown in the "Service Access" illustration. Provide adequate area around unit for air circulation for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air to the jets. Do not insulate this area or around motor.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (FOR CORNER BATHS) Electrical Connections A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Install a duplex outlet to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches above the floor. The duplex outlet is not provided. Because these units are manufactured with a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is necessary.
Electrical Connections (Canada only) The electrical installation is subject to inspection and approval by the local inspection authority. Employ a licensed electrician to connect the equipment to the supply in accordance with the local electrical code. Check that the power supply available corresponds to that required by the motor. The whirlpool bath must be connected to a separate 120VAC, 15AMP, single-phase circuit or a separate 120VAC, 20AMP, single-phase circuit (refer to the table for your model).
Drain Information A drain/overflow assembly (sold separately) must be installed on the bath, water tested, and connected to the sanitary system of the house. After opening the carton, inspect for damage and verify that the kit is of the proper finish. In the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath drain/overflow kit, note that the waste flange, strainer, overflow cover and cover screws are packaged in a separate package within the kit to protect the trim finish.
OPERATION Magic Touch® Whirlpool Switch Note: These instructions pertain to all bath products manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath. Not all features discussed in this instruction pamphlet apply to all baths. All baths manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath are designed for "fill and drain," which means the bath should be drained after each use and filled with fresh water by the next bather. This is a health precaution, as these baths are not designed to hold water continuously like pools or spas.
Controlling Whirlpool Action JETS The whirlpool action in your bath is influenced by three factors – direction of flow, force of water, and force of air. All baths manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath are equipped with fully adjustable PowerPro® jets, which are adjustable for all three factors. Some baths have additional directionally adjustable jets which can be adjusted for direction and flow of air only.
Cleaning the Bath Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance To clean your bath, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent solution. You can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled acrylic surface by applying Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze, a product specifically designed for use on acrylic finishes. If Meguiar's is not available, an acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax is acceptable. Never use abrasive household cleaners on any Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath product.
General Whirlpool Bath Trouble Shooting Guide PROBLEM Pump/Motor does not start. Pump/Motor operates but no fully adjustable jets are functioning. PROBABLE CAUSES REMEDY No power to pump/motor. Reset GFCI. Pump/motor not plugged in. Insert plug fully into outlet. Magic Touch switch - air tube not connected to switch or to air switch on pump/motor. Reconnect tube to Magic Touch switch or to air switch pump/motor. Pump/motor faulty. Replace pump/motor assembly. Jets are closed.
