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 t able under tota l
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
and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary . You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the
entire surface prior to installing the bath. The use of materials that shim or provide a level installation are allowed provided the method used will
insure a level bath that is supported from the bottom. Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal
expansion structural foam having a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft.; however the bath must remain level in order for it to drain properly
and all foam feet must make full contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other. When
ENGLISH
attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use shims to fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight must be fully self-
supporting.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish during installation. Before installation, remove liner
to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not remove until final cleanup.
Important: If a skirt is to be used, it must be installed at the time of unit installation – refer to skirt installation instructions. Install
optional trim parts when all installation has been completed.

installations. Refer to pages 17-18 for undermount installation instructions.
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 Specifications in reference).

Optional RapidHeat Service Access
Where tubs have been ordered with the optional RapidHeat
heater consider an additional service access.
If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners
responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required
access, should a repair become necessary.
Service Access with Skirt
An optional skirt fits along the side of the bath for above-floor
installations and is also an access panel for servicing. Allow a sp ace
of at least 8 inches away from the bath for skirt removal.
The skirt is designed to accommodate the added height of the
tile, linoleum, or other floor coverings up to 1-1/4 inches above the
floor, and will be flush with the floor when installed.
More detailed instructions on skirt installation are provided with
the optional skirt assembly.

ACCESS
In some cases, access may not have been provided because of
the design of the bath environment and having full understanding that
in this case, it may be necessary to remove the unit for service.
If this is the case, diagnosing a problem may not be possible without complete access to the plumbing system. This would necessitate
the removal of the unit. Although this practice is not commonly implemented, it is an acceptable method.
In some cases access may have been provided in Area A but
service is required in Area B which requires the unit to be pulled for
service and reinstalled.
If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners
responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required access, should a repair become necessary.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION RAPIDHEAT
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. If an optional timer is desired, one is available from Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath
for 115 VAC operation.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in
the bath can cause leaking and permanent damage to the pump.
Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.

On the Capella 55 with integral skirt, Capella 60 with integral skirt,
Capella Spacesaver with integral skirt and Tara with integral skirt a
duplex junction box has been provided. To access, remove skirt access panel. See top views for location.
A separate GFCI protected outlet* (not provided) is required for
pump/motor and is to be installed in the junction box. The junction
box is to be hard wired. The motor is bonded to the junction box at
the factory.
Before installing electrical connection, inspect the heater nameplate and determine if you have a 120 VAC or a 240 VAC unit (240
VAC unit not available in U.S.A.).
Install a separate 120 VAC 15 AMP or 240 VAC 15 AMP dedicated circuit with GFCI protection. With a #8 solid copper wire, bond
the heater to the house electrical panel or approved local bond. A
bonding lug is provided on the heater.
At initial start-up and before each use thereafter with power ON,
push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push
this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner,
there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunction, indicating
the possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use
the bath until the source of the problem has been identified and
corrected.

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 p ackage within the kit to protect the trim finish. Follow the
installation instructions provided with your drain/overflow kit. After the drain is fully installed, test for proper drainage. If the unit does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with the inst allation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for removal and or reinst allation

costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the installer's responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath warranty of this product.
Plumbing
Pump, jets, and suction fittings for the whirlpool system are factory plumbed in Schedule 40 PVC piping.
All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. If leaks are detected,
notify Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath. Do not install the unit.
Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout plumbing and compliance with local codes are the responsibility of the installer.
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not warrant connections of water supply fittings and piping, fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor
is it responsible for damage to the bath which occurs during installation.
CAUTION: A nonflammable protective barrier must be placed between soldering work and bath unit to prevent damage to the bath.
Clean-Up After Installation
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent and warm water w ill clean soiled
surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if lightly
rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Contact your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer for
special instructions.
A typical installation will have these construction characteristics.

CAUTION: Do not use an adhesive or adhesive
sealant to secure the counter to the bath rim. If
maintenance or remodelling is required the counter
may have to be removed. Adhesive will permanently
bond the counter to the bath. This will make removal
difficult and costly and may cause damage to the
