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. 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 the 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 att aching 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 from shoes, tools, etc.
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.

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.

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.
Follow the installation instructions provided with the
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 installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for
removal and or reinstallation 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 your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Dealer. Do not install the unit.
Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code require-
ments 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
T o avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath,
never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent
and warm water will 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.
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 bath with a special compound,
Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available, use
automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the
acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer for special instructions.
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. If you want a unit designed to continuously hold water, see your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer
for the complete line of whirlpool spas available.
Once the bath is installed, remove any residue or foreign materials left over from construction. Use turpentine or paint thinner to remove stubborn stains, paint or
tar. Other dirt can be cleaned off with a mild liquid detergent on a damp cloth. Scrape off plaster with a
wooden or plastic edge; do not use metal scrapers,
wire brushes or other metal tools, as they will damage the bath's surface.
Water Level
Close the drain and fill the bath until water is at least
2" above the highest jet (see water line indicated in the
illustration). Do not turn on the whirlpool system at
any time if the jets are not completely immersed in
water. Running the whirlpool system when there is in-
sufficient water in the bath could result in water spraying outside the bath area. Running the whirlpool system without water will damage the recirculating pump.

Magic Touch® Whirlpool Switch
The Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch, conveniently located on the bath, allows you to turn the whirlpool system on and off while in the bath. Simply push
down on the switch button to turn on the whirlpool system. To turn the system off, push down on the button
again.
If your bath has an optional Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath
wall mounted timer, set it for the amount of time you
wish the whirlpool to operate. Note: when you desire
less than 10 minutes of whirlpool action, it is necessary
to turn the timer knob clockwise past the number 10
and then back to the desired amount. If the whirlpool
action does not begin when the timer is correctly set, it
is necessary to push the Magic Touch switch button.
Once the heater is installed and the whirlpool pump
is operating, the heating function is totally automatic.
The heater will help maintain the temperature of the
water in the bath.
Vacuum Switch
The heater is equipped with a preset vacuum switch
which will not allow the heater to turn ON if the pump is
not running with water flowing through the whirlpool
system.
High-Limit Switch
The heater includes an exclusive High-Limit switch.
This safety circuit will not false trip from hot tap water . It
will only turn off the heater if the thermostat fails. To
reset, press the button. If the high-limit trips frequently ,
contact your dealer.

Water Force: The high volume, fully adjustable jet s
can be adjusted to control the force of the water coming
into the bath. For robust action, increase the force of
the flow by rotating the jet handles to the left (counterclockwise). For a more gentle effect, rotate the handles
to the right (clockwise). Never run the whirlpool sys-
tem with all the jets closed.
Force of Air: Two knobs located on the bath serve
as controls for the air induction system. The intensity of
the hydromassage whirlpool action is determined by the
amount of air inducted into the water. As the amount of
air is increased, the hydromassage action increases.
For maximum air induction, rotate the control knobs fully
counterclockwise to the largest circles. For fewer air
bubbles, decrease the amount of air induction by rotating the control knob clockwise. When the knobs are
turned to the smallest circles, only water is being
circulated.

Controlling Whirlpool Action
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.
Direction: T o change the direction of the water flow ,
swivel the jet nozzle to the desired angle. The jets can
be directed individually toward any location on your body
to provide a hydromassage. The jets can also be adjusted so that they all point in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to circulate the water in a circular motion around the bath, causing a total whirlpool
effect.
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.
Repairs to the Surface
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color fin-
ish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/
dry sandpaper . Restore the gloss using Meguiar's Mirror Glaze or automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the
acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer for special instructions.
Purging the Whirlpool System
NOTE: THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM SHOULD BE
PURGED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH
To remove accumulations of bath residue from the
whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool
bath be purged at least twice a month. For best results,
however, we recommend that you purge your whirlpool
bath after each use using our exclusive two-part plumbing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool
baths. Systems Clean ™ is available through an authorized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us
direct at 1-800-288-4002. Instructions for use: Immediately after bathing and exiting the whirlpool bath, leave
the bath water in the tub and add hot water, if necessary,
so the water is at least 2" above the highest jet. Turn on
the unit without the aerator. Pour the contents of the
Systems Clean Packet 1 (taking care not to get the
material on yourself) into the bath near the intake for the
circulation pump. Repeat same process with Systems
Clean Packet 2. It is important to use Packet 1 beforePacket 2 to avoid a strong odor. Run the bath for 5 to
10 minutes. Drain completely and rinse any residue.
Bath Additives
NOTE: DO NOT USE OIL OR OIL BASED BATH
ADDITIVES.
If you want to use any kind of bath additive, use only a
small amount of low-foaming powder or crystal substance; the whirlpool action intensifies the foaming properties of soaps.
The use of certain bath oils, bubble baths and bath
additives may increase the level of accumulations of
bath residue in the whirlpool system. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these
products.
Suction Cover/Strainer Maintenance
Clean the suction cover/strainer of hair and debris
when necessary. To do this, remove the center screw
and detach the square cover . Clean the cover by backflushing debris from the holes. Replace the suction cover
immediately after cleaning. When reinstalling, orient
the cover/strainer with the small notch at the bottom.
The gasket must be inserted into the groove of the cover/
strainer before reinstalling onto the suction fitting.
CAUTION: Keep hair a minimum of 6 inches away
from the suction fitting at all times when the whirlpool system is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be secured close to the head, or
a bathing cap should be worn. Do not operate the
whirlpool system with the suction cover removed!
It is a safety device and must always be in place on
the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard
of hair and body entrapment.
If you have followed the standard purging instructions
above and still have an excess accumulation of bath
residue and desire an alternative cleaning mechanism,
we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by Stearns Packaging to rectify this condition.
This may be obtained by contacting us at l-800-288-
4002. It is recommended that you follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer with the product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER SYSTEMSCLEAN PLUS does not replace the necessity to regularly purge your whirlpool system with Systems Clean as
recommended.
