STEP 3
If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the shower base. If the
subfloor is not level, level the subfloor by spreading floor
leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam with a minimum density of 5 lbs./
cubic feet EVENLY over ENTIRE area where base will
be installed. The compound used MUST make contact
with the entire bottom surface of the base. Both sides
of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each
other. Level and support waste pipe cutout area greater
than 5" x 5". The base is NOT to be supported by the tile
flange.
Before installing the base, make sure the 4 water
supply hoses are routed to seat area. If you have a with
Air unit also route the air supply hose to the seat area.
If you have a with Air unit also pull the 2 flow switch
cables and the control panel cable through base at this
time.
With the drain fitting passing over the center of the
drainpipe, lower the shower base carefully into place,
push down firmly until the base is in place.
You must check the level of the base in two directions.
Do not lift a corner of the shower base to level the base.
This will cause a loss of contact with the mortar and void
your warranty. Attach the shower base flange to the stud
wall and blocking with self-drilling screws (included).
Use a minimum of 3 screws per flange section.

Apply tile (or other finishing material) leaving a 1/8" gap
between the finishing material and the shower base
flange lip. Seal this gap with silicone sealant. Leave a
minimum 1/4" gap at the back and front corners of the
shower base to allow drainage from leakage through

CLEAN UP AFTER BASE INSTALLA TION
To avoid dulling and scratching the acrylic surface of the base, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent
and warm water clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout
can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the base with a special compound, Meguiar’s
#10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste
wax.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR SUMMER RAIN

TOWERS AND DOORS INSTALLATION
Take the side support rails and install a cover cap and wall bracket on each end. Place the center support rail into slot
on each tower. If rail does not readily fit into slots, it may be necessary to loosen the bolts holding towers to base (it
may only be necessary to loosen one tower). DO NOT FORCE CENTER RAIL INTO SLOTS. With center support rail
in position, install hold down brackets but do not tighten screws. Place the side support rails into the slot on each water
tower. With side rails in position install hold down brackets, but do not tighten screws. Check side support rails for
level and mark on the finished wall where to attach rail bracket. See DETAIL A. Drill 3/16" holes and secure bracket
with screws and wall anchors provided. Slide cover cap over rail bracket. If a tower bolt was loosened, retighten while
checking the plumb of the tower. Tighten screws on all hold down brackets.
Two shut-off valves are provided per water tower. To
hook up supply lines, unscrew valves from braided line.
Using thread sealant, screw each valve to stub out at
bottom of tower. Then reconnect braided line using
provided gasket. Do not twist or kink supply lines when
connecting. Perform this step for both water towers.
Move the door assembly to the door post on water tower
and slide the assembly into the door post. Locate the
base of the door into the slot of serrated door positioner
that positions the hinge barrel as shown.

adjusting screw until the glass is parallel with shower
base and door moulding mates with water tower moulding. It may be necessary to reposition the door into
another slot (See STEP 6) which can be done without
removing door from wall post. To do so remove the
adjusting screw from wall post, lift the door slightly to
reposition. Reinsert adjusting screw and locking nut and
adjust glass door. After final adjustment, lock this position with locking nut. Repeat for other door.
STEP 8
Install cover cap by sliding over adjusting screw and
bracket.
Position the fixed glass wall post so that the glass side
panel will be parallel with the outside edge of the base.
The fixed glass wall post position may vary slightly due
to the anchored location of the water tower.

Install glazing gasket on fixed glass walls post and jambs
on the outside. Note orientation of gasket. Soapy water
may help to insert the glazing gasket.
NOTE: The glazing is to be installed on the outside of
enclosure for both wall posts and tower jambs.
Clean any soapy residue off the glass and towers. On
the inside of enclosure, apply sealant to entire length
of glass and wall post as well as the entire length of
the glass and tower jamb.
Install handles as shown. Note orientation of handle.
Hand tighten knob. Flat screw has a screw driver notch.
Do not over tighten either knob or flat screw as cracked
glass may result.

Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Correct any
leaks before continuing the installation.

CLEAN UP AFTER T OWERS AND DOOR INSTALLA TION
To avoid dulling and scratching the tower surfaces and support rails never use abrasive cleaners. Use a mild liquid
detergent and warm water clean soiled surfaces. Use a mild glass cleaner to clean glass panels and doors.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with normal glass and finish cleaners. Use caution when applying
these products to coated metal surfaces. Test in an inconspicuous place before using. Do not use abrasives, alcohol,
acetone, ammonia or other solvents on any tower component.
There are three selectable positions: Jet, Normal Pulsating, and Aerated flow.

outer knob is positioned between main functions. When
outer knob is pointing to white line on outer dial face (half
way between main functions) water will be diverted
equally.
The temperature of the mixed water is adjusted by

To remove any lime scale from the shower head and body sprays, rub with your finger the outer ring of nozzles on the
shower head and all nozzles on the body spray.
To clean the foot temperature tester, unscrew the nozzle and back flush the wire mesh filter. Do not use metal tools
(such as scissors or screwdrivers, etc.) to clean the body sprays, shower head or foot temperature tester.
To clean the base, 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.
The glass can be cleaned with any glass-cleaning product available on the market.
Do not use abrasives, alcohol, acetone, ammonia or other solvents on any tower component.
The thermostatic valve has 2 screen filters that should be cleaned periodically. To remove the filters turn off hot and
cold supplies. Remove each water tower cover. Disconnect the supply hoses from the valve and remove filter from
the hose. Remove any debris. Reinstallation is the reverse of removal. Turn on hot and cold supply and check for
leaks before replacing tower cover.
