Floataway Installation Manual 230v 50Hz Tranquility 2017 - v3
Please read through this Manual before beginning the installation. If you are not confident
of success, please hire an electrician to do the installation for you. Floataway will not be
responsible for installation errors caused by not using these instructions.
The Heater Insulation Panel
The heater insulation is a thick high temperature rigid aluminium
coated mat. The tub sits on top of this piece and is positioned
approximately 8 inches from the back wall in the float room.
The Silicone Heater membrane sheets
The heaters must sit on top of the silicone sheet membrane, it is
a white soft foamed rubber sheet 2mm thick. The silicone sheet
is WHITE and comes rolled up. Lay the silicone sheets down on
the insulation panel ready for the heaters.
The Heater Panels
The heater panels, smooth metal side facing upwards, are posi-
tioned over the high temperature insulation. The drawing below
shows both sides of the heater panel. Be sure that the coil sides
are facing the insulation so that you see the smooth side facing
you as shown below right.
The drawing shows the correct
position of the heater panels
The heater with a longer wire
goes at the front of the product.
The cables run back to the con-
trol box on the tank and should
not be trapped under the tub.
Check that there are no foreign bodies on the top surface of
the heater, or on the bottom of the tub, before the tub is added.
Small hard objects may break the bottom of the tub when water
is added, or cause local hot spots or noises.
The heaters are not supplied connected to the control box and must be fed through cable ties
along the tank and then the glands and connected to ground (5), neutral (2), series connection(8)
and switched live (Heater MCB 1) connections in the control box. (See connection information
under “control box” section.) A small portion of the heaters should stick out from under the tub (ap-
proximately an inch) to enable earth bond testing.
The Tub
Place the tub gently onto the insulation and heater panels. The heater panels and insulation may
be walked on during this manoeuvre. Remove any packaging from the tub and clean it thoroughly,
first using soapy water, then if necessary lighter fuel (not acetone) for stubborn marks. Position
the tub so that its base sit exactly on top of the insulation.
