01 General information
All whirltubs produced by Hoesch are delivered on a self-supporting frame with adjusted height. The system components
(whirl pump, control unit and blower) are located in places shown in the annexed dimensioned diagram.
What you should pay attention to:
■ Check whether the delivery is complete and undamaged.
■ We will not be liable for damages that occur during transport and storage.
■ Do not put the bathtub on previously installed pipe system! Avoid any impacts!
■ During the installation cover the bathtub surface and any system elements that stick out, which will protect them
against damages and excessive dirt.
■ Individual elements of the system must remain accessible for later maintenance works!
People with various diseases such as serious infections, blood clots, kidney failure, heart disease, diabetes should use
the whirl system after consultation with a doctor, which allows for the use of appropriate therapy.
We also recommend medical consultation for pregnant women.
The whirl massage is exhaustive for children, they should not be left unattended in such a bath.
The existing system is not intended for use by persons (also children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or people which do not have any experience or are not familiar with the equipment unless it is done under
adult supervision or in accordance with usage instruction guidelines.
One must pay attention to children who should not have any access to the device.
Older people that move slowly or disabled persons should use the bath carefully.

⚠
Notice:
All electrical works should be done by the authorized electrician in accordance with the applicable
standard DIN/EN, typical country norms and the local energy law!
The whirl system is designed to operate with the alternating voltage of 230 V~AC, 50/60 Hz, 2kW. The electrical power of
the whirl system should be carried from a separate electric circuit and properly protected with a 10 A fuze, in compliance
with the rated power consumption, according to the rating plate. Other users cannot be connected. According to
standards whirlpool baths as I Class electrical devices must be permanently connected to the electrical system via
a bipolar disconnector. For security reasons, the bath supply cable must be connected to the electricity only through
electrical connector secured by overcurrent disconnector and differential current circuit breaker (RCD device) with a
nominal current of 30 mA, which will separate in all poles the installation from electrical network leaving contacts open
width of at least 3 mm. The RCD device shall be veri fi ed at least once a month. It is recommended that in situations
when whirl tub is not used for a longer time the whirl installation should be switched off from the power supply system
with the use of the master switch/FI. Minimum cross section of the bath supply cable is 3x1, 5 mm² (length L = 1,8 m). In
case of bathtubs equipped with a standard water heater (3 kW) a supply cable with cross section of 3x2, 5mm² (length
L = 2,0 m) should be used. Fixed electrical connection of the bath should be prepared in zone I (the unit is located under
the tub), compensatory connection should be provided additionally. A marked compensatory clamp is mounted on
the bath frame, to which a compensating cable should be connected 4mm².
Terminal made by the construction team should be in a form of a permanent distributive damp-resistant socket (IP 65, at
least 30 cm over the fl oor, in the area under the bathtub).When installing a bathtub attention should be paid to the parts
containing active elements (except for items supplied with low safe voltage, i.e. not exceeding 12 V) which must not be
available for persons located in bathtub.
The fact that bathtub is connected to the electricity must be noted in the warranty card with signature and seal of the
authorised person, which determines validity of the guarantee.
