Pegasus Pneumatic User & Installation Instructions
● Fit the pump bracket support leg and
adjust to correct height.
● Adjust feet to the required height for the
bath panel and slide the bath into position.
● Set the bath level and prefit the bath
into the desired position. Check that the
pump is within the confines of the bath. If
the pump exceeds the confines of the bath
it will be necessary to chase out the wall
to accommodate the pump. This should be
done before the bath is finally fitted.
● Ensure that all hot water pipes are clear
of the whirlpool pipework - If necessary
remove bath and re-make the hot water
pipes keeping the blow torch away from t h e
bath and whirlpool pipework.
● When the bath is level in the required
position, and before final fixing takes
place, temporarily connect the waste and
water feeds, fill the bath with warm water
to the level of the overflow and operate
the whirlpool system under pressure for
a period of 20 minutes. During this time
all joints should be checked to ensure that
they have not been damged or weakened in
transit. Leave the bath standing with water
in it for a further 20 minutes and recheck the
joints. Carry out procedures detailed in the
commissioning checklist opposite.
●
Please note that we will not accept
responsibility for removing the bath to
repair any leaks which are discovered after
the bath has been finally fixed and tiled in
place.
● The bath is now ready for an electrician to
make the final electrical connection.
Electricians Instructions:
● The whirlpool system must be protected.
In most circumstances the system may be
connected into the 13 amp ring main, it does
not need a separate supply from the main
board. This connection should be made via
a 13 amp fused spur, located outside of the
bathroom.
● It is not adviseable to locate the E.L.C.B./
R.C.C.B/ under the bath, it is awkward for
access at a later date.
● DO NOT
remove the protective tape from
the controls on the rim of the bath until all
plastering and grouting has been completed.
Grout dust has been known to cement the
air control solid.
● DO NOT
remove any electrical ties on
the whirlpool pipework - they are there for
a purpose. If you wish to relocate any of
the electrical boxes for ease of access after
installation please make sure that wires are
not stretched.
● DO NOT
allow anyone to dry run the pump.
i.e.do not run the pump without water in the
system. Water acts as a coolant for the pump
impellor and casing without which costly
damage will occur.
● If it is necessary to remove the pump
from the bath ensure that when it is
reinstalled that the rubber seals are in place.
● The pump and controls have been prewired
for ease of installation - please double check
that all connections have travelled well and
are to your satisfaction.
● Connect the unassigned mains cable
from the control box through the E.L.C.B. to
the 13A fused spur.
● Connect the earth bonding as required by
I.E.E. Regulations.
● In the absence of a plumber it is advisable
that the electrician carries out the initial
commissioning procedures - see below.
● The electrical installation should now
be inspected in accordance with the
latest edition of I.E.E. regulations and the
Completion Certificate signed and handed to
the customer.

Commissioning Checklist &
Fault Finding:
1
- Fill the bath with water to a level of 2’’
above the level of the jets check the system
for leaks, please pay particular attention to
the pump unions.
2
- Demonstrate the operation of the
whirlpool to the customer.
3
- Show the customer how to carry out the
monthly test of the R.C.D.
4
- If the bathroom is to be tiled after
installation
please
place
protective
wrapping back over the controls to prevent
contamination with grout dust.
5
- Hand these instructions, the electrical
completion certificate and the system
guarantee to the customer.
6
- Explain how the whole system can be
isolated by means of the fused spur.
Symptom
- Press on/off button - nothing
happens.
Solution
- Check water is above the water
level sensor and that the light is showing on
the water level sensor. (Check power supply
is getting to control box). Check operation of
the ELCB (if fitted) if the ELCB fails to test then
the problem is at the fuse in the fused spur.
If power supply is getting to Control box then
check connections to pump and ancillarys
are intact and have not been stressed.
Bath Waste:
Only a Pegasus whirlpool waste can be fitted
to this bath. An upgrade bath fill waste can
be purchased at a small extra cost (pictured
above).
