CONSTRUCTION
The tub surface is made of Lucite XL® Acrylic. The substructure
is a composite laminate constructed of fire retardant fillers.
ELECTRICAL
Factory wired for 120 Volt 20 Amps. Ground-Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) is required. The 20 Amp GFCI breaker must
not supply any other circuits or devices.
A second GFCI circuit of
15 Amps if needed for the Inline Heater. An access panel must
be installed to permit pump service.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a Ground-Fault Circut 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. The power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is
a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of an electrical
shock.
(See schematic on Pg. 5)
ELECTRICAL ROUGH-IN
WARNING:
When using electrical products basic precautions
should always be followed including the following: Rough-in
wiring to equipment on a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
The GFCI circuit breaker must not supply any other devices
or circuits. An access panel must be installed to permit pump
service.
WARNING: Failure to follow instructions exposes users to risk of
electrical shock or fire.
PLUMBING ROUGH-IN
The bath waste pipe protrudes below the base approximately one
inch. Provide supply pipe, rough-in waste and vent per local code.
NOTE: On some models, the pump may exceed beyond the
perimeter of the tub. If you have such a model, please make
allowance during installation.
See Page 4.
BATH WASTE AND OVERFLOW
Recommended Geberit 151.506.00.0 17-24 inch Cable
Overflow and Waste with a 151.550.21.1 Chrome Cap
Read instructions enclosed with bath waste drain (not included)
for proper setting and fitting. Water tight installation of the drain
is the installer’s responsibility.
IT IS THE INSTALLERS RESPONSIBILITY TO
SUPPLY ACCESS TO PUMP AND EQUIPMENT.
1. Once the tub is leveled, the tub must be supported or
stabilized with plaster or mortar. If the tub has a supporting
base, then mortar is not required.
2. For Caulking, we recommend 100% sanitary silicone rather
than latex.
3. For quieter operation, you may choose to insulate the
surrounding.
PROTECTION OF TUB
Use a section of the box, cut to size, and place in the bottom of
the tub. When possible, keep the box cover over the tub. These
steps will help protect the tub from abrasion or damage during
installation.
SETTING TUB IN PLACE
The tub needs to be set in mortar or plaster to level tub and pre-
vent shifting after installation.
Apply mortar to the floor area that makes contact with the tub
base. Set tub in opening and push on bottom of tub to secure in
mortar.
TUB MUST NOT “HANG” FROM LIP OF TUB! Do not
allow tub lip and edges bear any weight of the tub. Do not fill tub
with water until mortar has hardened. Seal all joints with sanitary
silicone.
FINISHING
Before finishing with your choice of material, make sure access
entries are available to the pump, bath waste pipe, and plumbing
fixtures. Finish as desired and seal around tub, preferably with
sanitary silicone.
CLEAN PUMP SYSTEM
After tub is installed and ready to use, remove all construction
debris and clean the pump and system.
SUGGESTION: During construction, we suggest that you cover
tub to avoid use as trash receptacle.
TESTING
Connect trap to bath waste pipe. Temporarily connect garden
hose for water testing. Tub must be clean before filling. Seal drain
with plug and fill tub 2” above jet fittings. Run pump approximately
20 minutes. Check for leaks. Turn pump off and let water sit in tub
about 5 minutes. Check for leaks in return pipe and fittings. Drain
the tub and shut off circuit breaker.
NOTE: ALL TUBS ARE FACTORY TESTED FOR PROPER
WATERTIGHT OPERATION.
However, the tub must be filled with
water to check for leaks that may have resulted from handling,
before finishing the tub installation. Access Tubs is not responsible
for any defects that could have been discovered, repaired or
avoided by following this testing and inspection procedure.
