GENERAL INFORMATION
This pump is intended solely for the use on
Hydromassage Bathtub
(whirlpool bath) indoor applications. The
pump unit was designed to circulate water through a whirlpool bath or spa system supplying the jets with water.
Each pump has been thoroughly tested prior to leaving the factory and should be free of defects.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The pump should be installed on the outside of the bathing area, close to the tub unit as possible being
1.
contained within the ‘drop line’ of the tub enclosure.
The pump should be mounted in such a fashion that there is a continual rise from the suction fitting to the
2.
pump to allow air to be expelled from the piping. While at the same time, the pump should be mounted in
such a way that the pump suction is below the normal operating level of the water.
All tub piping must be water tight for proper pump operation.
3.
The pump/motor assembly should be securely mounted onto a base to avoid noise and vibration. The
4.
weight of the piping should be supported independently and not carried by the pump.
The pump should be connected to the piping with union connectors as supplied with the pump. The union
5.
sleeves and nuts are made of PVC plastic. Sleeves should be attached to the piping with a solvent weld
cement suitable for use with PVC. Refer to the warnings supplied with solvent weld cements to verify
compatibility. The nut will secure the sleeve to the pump. (cont. next page)
