Spa Bath Installation Guide

Location

First check that there will be adequate pump access before proceeding with installation. A minimum of
300mm square unobstructed clearance is needed if pump servicing or removal is necessary. If sufficient
room is not made available the equipment warranty will be nullified. When the bath is located in the correct
position and the bottom of the bath is fully supported by the floor and is sitting level, fix bath in place,
connect the waste outlet and fit taps.

Electrical

In the interests of safety, we advise that a qualified electrician connects the pump, in accordance with
relevant electrical standards.
The pumps supplied are suitable for connection to a nominal 240V 50HZ power supply and are equipped
with a lead and three-pin plug.
This product must be installed so that it can be turned off independently of the on/off air switch and/or touch
pad (a standard on/off power point provides this).

Installers Responsibility

Before enclosing the bath you are required to water test and check bath for satisfactory operation to ensure
that damage has not occurred during installation. To protect your factory warranty you must observe this
instruction.

Water Testing

Before filling the bath with water and testing, be sure that no debris or materials are left in the bath, which
may enter the pump and cause an obstruction to the flow or damage to the motor.
Check all pipe work and fittings are properly sealed and firmly fixed.
Fill the bath to at least 100mm above the jet and check pipe work for leaks.
Activate the pump, by pushing the air switch button and/or touch pad switch.
Run the pump for 10 to 15 minutes, checking for leaks during this period.

Now proceed to enclose the bath ensuring that access to the pump has been provided for.

Cutting & Drilling
Use a fine tooth hacksaw very carefully if the acrylic needs to be cut. Smooth edges with fine ‘wet and dry’ glass
paper and burnish with an abrasive cleaner such as ‘Brasso’. Small holes can be drilled with a twist drill, BUT the
cutting edge should be backed off with an oilstone to prevent ‘grabbing’. Use a fine hole saw for larger holes.
