GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RECEIVING:
Immediately upon receiving your Jetta bath, inspect it thoroughly for freight damage. If damage is found, please note on bill of lading and contact JETTA Corporation immediately. The surface should be protected at all times to prevent scratches.
o Check to ensure the bathtub is the unit you ordered and that its dimensions and drain position correspond to your plans.
o Check color match before installation.
o If there is protective plastic sheet covering the surface of your bathtub, it should not be removed until the installation is complete.
When necessary during the installation process the plastic can be peeled back to install the drain, overflow and surface mounted plumbing fixtures. The plastic should also be peeled back in areas where it could become snagged during the installation process.
o Do not carry unit by the piping as this may cause leaks.
o Do not sit on the edge on the edge of the bathtub.
o Nothing should be placed in bath that would scratch or break it.
o Workmen in bath should be in stocking feet only.
IMPORTANT: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
OPERATIONAL:
1. Do not permit children to use unit unless they are closely supervised at all times. Supervision is also required when the bath is used by an elderly or handicapped individual.
2. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in the Owner’s Manual. Only use attachments recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Do not insert any object into any opening. Do not operate electrical appliances while in or within 5 feet of the bath.
4. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting. Long hair must be kept away from the suction screen to avoid entrapment. If entrapment occurs, immediately turn unit off.
5. Do not start pump before unit is filled with water 2” above jets – this will void the warranty.
6. Water level should not exceed the lowest edge of the overflow or controls.
7. The water in a whirlpool should not exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are typically considered safe for healthy adults. Prolonged immersion in hot water may produce hyperthermia. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting, which can be fatal. Lower temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) for young children.
8. Exposure to very hot water has the potential to cause fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant, or possibly pregnant women should limit water temperature to 38°C (100°F). Consult a physician before using.
9. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a whirlpool. Medications may induce drowsi-ness, affect heart
10. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
rate, blood pressure and circulation. The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during whirlpool use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a whirlpool.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL
WARNING – WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CONNECT ONLY TO A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT-
INTERRUPTER. GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. THE UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND
GROUNDED. (FOR BUILT-IN AND CUSTOM UNITS) INSTALL TO PERMIT ACCESS FOR SERVICING.
1. This unit must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be
provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt
power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current
flowing indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the electrical problem
corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
2. Disconnect power before servicing.
3. The motor is supplied with a 30”, 14-gauge U.L. approved pigtail. This pigtail is installed at the manufacturers facility and is factory
tested and should not be removed or altered under any circumstances. Removal or alteration of this pigtail will void the warranty. The
green lead of the pigtail is connected to the ground terminal inside the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, you
must ensure that your electric service or supply panel is properly grounded with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in
size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12 AWG.
4. A pressure ground connector is provided on the exterior of the terminal box within this unit to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG solid
copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity as needed to comply
with local requirements.
5. Install to permit access for servicing (for built-in and custom units).
6. Installer / Owner bears all responsibility to comply with all state and local codes when installing this product.
TESTING:
Water test your unit prior to installation. Set the tub on a level surface where it can be drained after testing. Insert drain fitting and fill
to the overflow. Make sure all fittings, through walls and piping are water tight. While each unit is leak tested at the factory, the process
of shipping and handling may loosen joints. If there are leaks, mark the spot(s), drain and repair with GE Silicone Sealer (fiber glass to
PVC) or PVC cement (PVC to PVC). Repeat test when dry.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROUGH- IN:
Test fit the tub and verify dimensions. Your Jetta bath should be installed in a bedding compound, preferably a mortar mix or thin set,
which should be distributed under the base to provide maximum support and even weight distribution. Do not use foam, sand or drywall
mud. When leveling, prepare a bed of moist mortar in the area where bath is to be installed. Place equally spaced mounds of bedding
compound, about one foot apart, 2” to 4” tall - this should be about the diameter of a three-pound coffee tin (8”-10”). When the bottom
of the tub comes in contact with the bedding compound, it should compress the mounds to a 1” to 3” layer while the tub should lightly
rest on top of the tub deck. Once the bedding compound dries, all the weight will be carried through the floor of the tub, not suspended
by its lip. Carefully level the unit, ensuring that uniform support is given to all areas of the base and that no portion of the lip is bearing
weight.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BATH BY THE RIM! Your Jetta bath has a pre-leveled lip that accounts for the sloped floor
towards the drain. DO NOT REMOVE the 1” x 1” drain board attached to the bottom of the tub. It is recommended that plastic is laid
between the bedding compound and the bath, in case removal of the bath is ever necessary.
If the pump is removed for any reason, use only union connections to reattach. Do not overtighten. Make sure the O-rings on the pump
are in place. Hand tighten pump fittings. Do not use a wrench, channel locks, or pipe dope (Teflon paste).
Pump must be located between 1/2” to 1 1/2” above suction fitting. Make sure suction line will drain from pump to bath. A minimum
access panel of 14” x 10” must be provided in case the pump or air blower needs to be serviced at a later date.
IMPORTANT: MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REMOVAL OR RE-INSTALLATION OF THE
BATHTUB IF THERE IS A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANU-FACTURERS RECOMMENDED PRE-INSTALLATION
AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS
COULD RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.
