Now you can start with the caulking of the seating area’s inside in alphabetical order according to
pictures
9 and 10 . The sealant should be evened out until it covers the surfaces to the masking tape.
Repeat a few times. It is recommended to use your finger for this. Remember to rinse your finger
with turpentine afterwards. It´s important that the sealant is smoothed out thin towards the edge of
the masking tape, in order to make it easier to remove the tape.
Bubble system assembly
After the caulking has been completed, the bubble system’s hoses can be assembled. Note that the
placement in picture
12 shows the AquaKing Jets, where one vertical part (at the very bottom) has a
hole for connection to an extra pump for optional extra jets and lamp. The AquaKing Standard
without extras doesn’t have these extra holes. One hose for the T-connection 20x32x20 (marked
with a
! ) is longer than the other and it should be placed as shown in picture 12.
Adjusting the seating area to the base
When the base has been assembled the connection pipes for the pressure and suction side should be
mounted now (picture
15 ), the two horizontal grooves are filled with sealing compound and
smoothed out, picture 16 . Now fill the sealing agent in the base’s joints, picture 17 . After having
done this it is time to lift the seating area into position. The T-connection for the bubble system air
hose connection must be mounted in the same direction and place as shown in picture
17 !
If the seating area is correctly assembled, it will now fit into the groove at the base. Otherwise,
adjustments might be necessary. Do these by gently tapping the vertical sides with a rubber mallet
to make them fit into the grooves. Then gently tap on top of the benches to make the assembly fall
down into the grooves and come in contact with the sealant.
Attending to the sealing joint for the seating area and base
Then turn the base upwards in order to be able to screw it to the seating area, picture 18 . Use the
included screw 4.5x50 mm (3), picture 18 / 3 . In order to get the right distance between the base and
the bench, use the included 6 pre-cut pieces, picture 18/10 . The adjustment of side modules is then
easy. After this procedure, the sealing joint between the base and the seating area must be fixed and
smoothed out, picture
19/a . Then do the same with the upper joint between the benches, picture
19/b. Remove the masking tape now. Start at the point where the masking tape is folded and then
pull outwards, picture 20 . Let the joints dry. Check additional instruction “Mask properly”.
Preparing the side modules
While the joints are drying you can start taping the side modules joints (unless it hasn´t already
been done). It is important to do this according to the instructions. See picture
22 and tape in the
right order a-c . Check additional instruction “Mask properly”. Also check for possible small cracks
and holes due to knots in the side module where the TubCoat application does not cover. They are
unlikely, but not impossible.
If you find cracks or holes, mend them by putting a bit of sealant on
top of them. Press the sealant in and smooth it out. Wipe extra sealant off with a bit of turpentine.
This gives a result that is virtually invisible.
IMPORTANT!!! Leakage test
One important part of the assembly process is the leakage test. This is first made with the seating
area. Note that the joints should be coated first. Check additional instruction “Mask properly” for
drying times in section 4. The test must be made in stages according to the graphic instructions.
Before this, the bubble system air hose with vent and connection to air pump must be mounted,
picture
30/Q . The included pipe system for pumps must also be connected and the taps must be
closed. The massage pump connection for the AquaKing Jets should be mounted with its lower part
turned towards the bench during the test, so the water doesn’t leak out. If there is a lamp
