Assembly
After unpacking your ShowerSpa, some assembly is required prior to installation.
Shower Arm Assembly
1. On the back of the ShowerSpa near the top, unscrew the hose fitting from the safety insert (19) and retain rubber washer. Remove the
safety insert and discard with plastic nut (18).
2. Place escutcheon (2) over threaded end of shower arm (3) and insert through opening. Use stainless nut (6) to secure shower arm to ShowerSpa. Then secure both set screws (10) located on the stainless nut.
3. Attach hose fitting to shower arm (3) ensuring the rubber washer is still in hose fitting. Do not over-tighten.
Hand Shower Holder Assembly
NOTE— The hand shower holder (11) is directional and must be installed so the set screw (4) is facing down in order for the tapered end of the
hose to fit properly.
1. Use 4mm allen wrench to remove allen bolt (12) from hand shower holder (11) and retain lock washer (13). Insert bolt through lock washer,
then opening on side of ShowerSpa. Tighten bolt to holder while adjusting its’ position (we recommend a slight forward angle).
2. Secure set screw (10) on bottom side of holder to lock in place.
After ShowerSpa is mounted to the wall
Hand Shower Assembly
1. Insert washer (7) into hexagon shaped end of hand shower hose (8) and attach to threaded outlet on bottom of ShowerSpa. Do not overtighten.
2. Insert washer (7) into tapered end of hand shower hose (8) and attach to hand shower (9). Insert hand shower into hanger.
3. Check that rubber screen washer (4) is in shower head (5) and screw shower head onto the shower arm (3).

Installation – New Construction
Extensive Remodel – New Finished Wall Surface
1. Prior to sheetrock, stub-out ½" hot and cold supply lines beyond
finished wall surface, 4" on center. For best results, attach 90°
brass fittings (available at most hardware stores) to the stub-outs
maintaining ¼" – ½" of space between the fitting and finished
wall. The open end of the 90° brass fittings should point down so
the supply lines attach parallel to the wall. 1
2. For a person 5'8" – 6'2" we recommend the stub-outs be 40"
above finished floor.
2
3. Before installation, make certain that water is COMPLETELY
TURNED OFF to both hot & cold supply lines of shower.
4a. Mark location of holes for the mounts, making sure holes are
plumb. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing the top
hole of the upper mount at approx. 71" above finished floor.
4b. Determine location for the lower mount. Measure the distance
between indents on the bottom edges of the two brackets on
back of ShowerSpa (approx. 35 ½"). Using this distance, measure
down from the top hole in upper mount to get the location of
the top hole in lower mount.
Retrofit – Existing Shower Replacement
NOTE—In a remodel in which you are not replacing the finished wall surface (tile, or backing material) it is advisable to purchase a PULSE Show-
erSpa model that covers the location of your existing valve assembly—either single handle or two-handle type. If your PULSE ShowerSpa
model does not cover this area, you will need to either choose another PULSE ShowerSpa model that does or make necessary repairs with
appropriate materials (i.e. wallboard, tile, fiberglass, etc).
1. TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY TO SHOWER. Typically there is a gate
valve where the water main enters the house. Turning the water
valve off at hot water tank does not turn off cold water supply
line.
2. Make certain water is completely turned off to both hot & cold
supply lines of shower. Turn shower valve on, both hot and cold,
to VERIFY WATER SUPPLY IS OFF. Open a sink faucet in the
bathroom in which you are installing the ShowerSpa to relieve
any pressure and help adequately drain shower supply lines.
3. Remove handle(s) and trim cover(s) of your existing shower valve,
exposing valve body in wall.
4. Locate hot and cold supply lines entering valve. Using a reciprocating saw with sharp metal saw blade, cut existing valve out,
preserving threads of the supply lines entering valve. You should
also cut the riser within wall supplying the existing shower head.
Carefully twist and remove valve.
5. Unscrew old shower head from shower arm, then unscrew
shower arm from wall.
6. Water lines must be extended to the outside of wall cavity, 4" on
center. For best results, attach 90° brass fittings (available at most
hardware stores) to the stub-outs maintaining ¼" – ½" of space
between the fitting and finished wall. The open end of the 90°
brass fittings should point down so the supply lines attach parallel to the wall.
7a. Mark location of holes for the mounts, making sure holes are
plumb. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing the top
hole of the upper mount at approx. 71" above finished floor.
1
4c. Use the mounts to mark only one of the lower holes in each
mount, whichever is most convenient.
5. Before drilling holes, make certain that connecting to stub-outs
DOES NOT INTERFERE with backside of ShowerSpa and it is flush
with finished wall at desired mounting height.
6. Drill ¼" holes through wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill
slowly through wall surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert
anchors and securely screw brackets to wall. Before connecting
hot and cold supply lines, hang the ShowerSpa on wall, check the
height and make sure the ShowerSpa is flush against wall with a
secure fit.
7. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to stub-outs—DO NOT
3
OVERTIGHTEN. Before mounting the ShowerSpa, check fittings
to make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks.
When fittings are leak-free, mount ShowerSpa on wall.
8. OPTIONAL—Seal around body of ShowerSpa with a bead of
silicone. DO NOT SEAL BOTTOM.
7b. Determine location for the lower mount. Measure the distance
between indents on the bottom edges of the two brackets on
back of ShowerSpa (approx. 35 ½"). Using this distance, measure
down from the top hole in upper mount to get the location of
the top hole in lower mount.

mount, whichever is most convenient.

secure fit.
10. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to stub-outs—DO NOT

to make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks.

Additional fittings or longer supply lines may be necessary depending on your specific situation.
2
The desired mounting height of ShowerSpa determines, or is determined by location of the ½" stub-outs.
3
The mounting height can vary depending on several factors (i.e. location of supply lines, interference from ShowerSpa plumbing, old valve access area,
personal preference, etc.)

Usage
Pressure Balance Mixing Valve
The Waimea ShowerSpa is equipped with a cUPC® pressure balance mixing valve to adjust water flow and
temperature. The valve automatically adjusts to changes in water pressure (i.e. someone flushes a toilet), keeping your temperature constant and preventing accidental scalding. To turn on the ShowerSpa simply raise the
handle until the desired flow rate is achieved. Rotate to the right to decrease temperature and rotate to the left
to increase temperature. Be sure that the handle is in the OFF position when you are done using your ShowerSpa so that pressure does not build up inside the unit.
Brass Diverter
The brass diverter is used to change between ShowerSpa functions. Simply rotate the diverter knob either direction to select the desired function—shower head, hand shower, body jets or tub spout.
Hand Shower
The hand shower has a single power-spray pattern that can be used alone or in combination with any of the
other ShowerSpa functions.
Body Jets
There are six three-function brass Infinity Jets that provide misting, pulsating massage or stimulating sprays.
Simply rotate the head of the jet to change between functions. You can adjust the angle of spray by pushing on
the front edge of the jet in any direction.
Care and Maintenance
Always blot dry any water from the surface of your ShowerSpa. To protect your ShowerSpa from hard water
stains and mineral deposits, use an auto spray wax periodically and wipe down your ShowerSpa after each use.
Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to a buildup of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp,
nonabrasive sponge and drying with a clean soft cloth should help keep your ShowerSpa looking beautiful.
REMEMBER
Never use any abrasives or harsh cleaners!
Clean with mild soap and water ONLY!
To keep your ShowerSpa in pristine condition,
DRY AFTER EACH USE!
