Important Safety Instructions:

Warning!

 Use this unit only for its intended purposes or as described in this manual. Use

only attachments recommended by the manufacturer.

 Risk of hyperthermia and possible drawing. Water temperature in excess of 38°C

may be injurious to your health. Check and adjust temperature before use.

Read and Follow all Instructions

 Danger: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with

infirmities to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

 To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the walk-in tub.
 Never drop or insert any objects into any openings.
 Risk of electrical shock; connected only to a separate circuit protected by a ground

fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

 Warning: Risk of electric shock; do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair

dryer, lamp, telephone, radio, or television) within 1.5M of this hydro-massage
bathtub.

 The unit must be connected to a circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a circuit is 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 on an electrical shock. Do not use this unit.
Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified services
representative before using.

 Traction enhanced-textured tub bottom must remain clean to minimize slippage.
 Risk of electrical shock; all pumps must be connected to a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets.

 Avoid use of alcohol, drugs, or medication while using your walk-in tub.
 Consult your physician before using the whirlpool/air system if you are pregnant

and/or have heart conditions.

 All units must be water tested before installation.

Unpacking the Unit

1. Inspect the carton, if carton damage is noted: take a picture if possible, notify the
deliverer.

2. NEVER LIFT THE TUB BY THE PLUMBING. Doing so can result in leaks, for which
the installer is responsible.

3. Immediately inspect the unit for damage even if there is no carton damage. Once the
unit is installed surface damages will be assumed to be installation related if not
reported at this point. Installers are responsible for damage that occurs once the
unit is placed in its niche.

4. Inspect the plumbing for any loose fittings.

5. Remove all packaging material except for the protective plastic. This has been placed
on the tub at the factory to eliminate abrasions from handling. This should only be
removed at final clean up.

Testing Your Tub before Installation

1. All Tubs are 100% water tested at the factory and certified to be free of leaks.
Transportation and mishandling may cause leaks. It is necessary to test the bath
while there is access to all sides of the bath.

2. This unit should be both static and operationally tested with water. It is best to test
the unit outside by filling with a garden hose.

a. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained

after testing.

b. Seal the drain (can be sealed with tape for test) and fill the tub three inches

about the jets or to a normal level if it’s a soaking tub.

c. Allow the water to stand in tub for 10 minutes and then inspect all pluming

and seals for leaks.

d. Using an extension cord, operate each pump (air and hydro system if

applicable) for 10 minutes and inspect for leaks. Inspect the unions around
the pump; if leaks persist from the units after tightening; loosen the unions
and insure that the 0-ring is seated properly.

e. Insure all jets are open and working (every hydro jet is adjustable for both flow

rate and direction of flow, depending on the jet, the water flow is adjustable by
either turning the outside ring or the nozzle clockwise and counter clockwise).

Note: IF the pumps do not operate:

a. Check the breaker to insure power is on and the cable connecting the controls to the

pump is attached

b. If an optional heater is present, check the indicator light on the heater to insure that

power is present.

Do not run any pumps or heaters unless the tub is filled with water to proper level.
Damage due to dry running pumps is not coved under 3 year warranty.

Failure to perform these tests before installation will make the installer liable for future
repair costs.
