Some products, specifications, and services mentioned in this manual are described in pending patent applications or are protected by patents.

SITE PREPARATION

TURBINE - REMOTE INSTALLATION 

1.  A 1 ½ inch ID pipe has to run from the tub, back to the turbine location. This pipe can be PVC Tigerflex (spa hose)  

or rigid PVC or ABS

2.  Maximum distance is 15 feet from the tub, indoors, in a room temperate setting (not outdoors or in a non-temperature  

controlled area)

3.  Minimum size for an enclosure for the turbine: 16’’ x 16’’ x 16’’ 

4.  Make sure to leave access for servicing needs 

5.  The enclosure should have a minimum 4x2 inch opening so the turbine works properly. Not doing so will starve  

the blower of air. It will eventually fail and void its warranty

6.  A 20 Amp GFCI (12AWG) 120V dedicated line is needed for the turbine (GeysAir is powered by the turbine). If you 

have additional options on the bath (one or more) a second dedicated line is needed, 15 Amp GFCI 120V (14AWG)

GEYSAIR

®

1.  Geysair is installed on the tub from the factory and must not be relocated. It gets its power from your turbine. So per 

your local electrical code, you may have to use a solid core wire (14AWG) and run it in between the blower location 
and the tub. This may require a proper conduit for high voltage wires if installed in a cement slab for example.

2.  Geysair connects to the hot water line that you are providing to your faucet at the tub. It uses a 3/8 compression thread. 

LED (CHROMATHERAPY)

1.  The power modules (inMix module, Litestreme) have to be installed next to the turbine.

2.  The wires have to be sent from the tub back to the turbine location.  

LED: Low voltage for the Chromatherapy .

ELECTRONIC CONTROL (KEYPAD)

1.  A large majority of our freestanding tubs require that the keypad be installed on the wall and not on the tub. You can 

use silicone to adhere it to your wall instead of the bracket and wing nuts.

2.  The infra-red receiver is normally installed a couple of inches away from the keypad, side by side.

3.  Both the infra-red and keypad should be in line of sight from the tub sitting position. But they can be separated. 

4.  The keypad and infra-red receiver (low voltage wires) each have a 15 foot cable that has to run from the wall position 

back to the turbine. Extensions are available if needed.

5.  You can use a conduit to feed these wires as well if needed.

ISLAND TUB DRAIN

1.  The ITD is strongly recommended when you have no access under the floor.  

Refer to: INSTALLATION WITHOUT ACCESS UNDER THE FLOOR, page 13.
