Using Your Overflowing Bath
If you’re like most people who install a Kohler overflowing bath, you can’t wait to get in and try it out.
You’ll soon find that the features and controls are very simple to use, and offer you a safe and totally
relaxing personal care experience. Please spend a few minutes with these simple operating instructions, and
then you’ll be ready to go.
Remove all loose bathing items, such as soap bars, shampoo bottles, and washcloths from inside the
unit.
Don’t use excessive amounts of shampoo or soap while you are operating the overflowing bath. Of
course, you can freely use shampoo and soap for showering before you fill the unit.
Make sure the metal suction screen is clean, and is correctly in place over the plastic suction cover.
Close the drain.
NOTE:
The water temperature in the bath should not exceed 104°F (40°C) or the heater will not operate.
NOTE:
The in-line heater will help maintain the water temperature while your overflowing bath is
running. Always fill the unit with water tempered to your desired comfort level.
Fill the unit with water so the bathing well overflows into the overflow channel to the drain. The
channel sensors should be completely covered with water.
The green light in the pump control switch will start to blink automatically within 1/2 minute after
the sensors are submerged to let you know the unit is ready to start.
Fill the unit 4
″
(10.2 cm) to 6
″
(15.2 cm) from the bathing well rim.
IMPORTANT!
Like any other bath, prevent flooding the area around the unit by entering the filled
bathing well slowly. This will allow the system to properly drain excess water.
IMPORTANT!
Exercise caution if you walk or move around in the bathing well. Plastic surfaces are
inherently slippery when wet.
Slowly enter the bathing well, then press the pump control switch to start the pump/motor and
begin operation.
As the pump/motor turns on and water begins to circulate, the light on the pump control will
change to solid green, and will stay on as long as the overflowing bath is running.
Press the pump control switch again to turn off the overflowing bath. The green light in the pump
control switch will then start to blink automatically until the overflowing bath is drained below the
overflow channel sensors, or is restarted.
A built-in timer automatically stops the bath after approximately 20 minutes of operation.
