INSTALLATION
Installation and wiring of pump should only be done by qualified, licensed
personnel.
Pump mount must:
Be Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount.)
Be installed with pump suction inlet higher than tub suction fitting. (This al-
lows pump to drain completely when tub is drained.)
Have pump suction below tub water level when pump is running.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Ventilation:
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent motor overheating.
For continuous running, motor hot air exhaust must be able to escape tub
motor compartment.
Piping:
Use flexible or rigid PVC pipe for connections to pump.
Use at least 1-1/2" IPS pipe.
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Unions are provided. Use as follows for leak-free connections to pump:
1. ‘O’ Ring and sealing surfaces must be clean.
2. Assemble handtight only! (NO WRENCHES!)
3. NO pipe compound or Teflon tape on unions.
4. Bond pipe to unions with PVC cement.
Use PVC cement only in a well ventilated area away from flame;
FOLLOW MANUFACTURER‘S INSTRUCTIONS!
Fittings:
Size and number of jets will have a major effect on jet action.
Typical installations use up to four 7/8" or 3/4" diameter jets or up to seven
1/2" diameter jets.
Tub fittings must meet International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical
Officials (IAPMO) standards for jetted bathtubs. Use only non-entrapping suc-
tion fitting or double suction.
