READ BEFORE INSTALLATION AND/OR USE – IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE
1. Read and follow all instructions
2. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
3. Infants should not be permitted in the whirlpool at water temperatures over 100˚
Fahrenheit and only with prior medical consultation and permission from your doctor.
4. Pregnant women and persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, or high or low blood
pressure should not enter the whirlpool tub without prior medical consultation and
permission from their doctor.
5. For your first whirlpool bath, start with a short duration of five minutes. You can increase
the time intervals as your body's tolerance adjusts. However, do not use longer than 15
minutes at any one time.
6. High water temperatures and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body
temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature.
7. Check whirlpool before use. Maximum safe temperature is 104˚ Fahrenheit (40˚ Celsius).
8. Observe reasonable time limits to avoid nausea, dizziness, and fainting.
9. Do not direct the water spray to the following body areas in these instances:
A. Any area of the body that is swollen, burned, inflamed or where skin eruptions or
ulcerated sores are present.
B. Any area of the body that is sore unless approved by your doctor.
C. The abdomen when pain is present.
D. Legs with varicose veins.
E. Calves of legs with unexplained pain.
10. Keep body, hair, and clothing a maximum of 12 inches away from the suction fitting at all
times when whirlpool is operating. Do not operate the unit without the guard over the
suction fitting.
11. Do not use whirlpool while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.
12. Enter and exit tub slowly.
13. Do not use electrically connected devices such as televisions, radios, stereo speakers,
lights, cooking devices, hair dryers, telephones, or other electrical appliances within five
feet of the whirlpool tub.
14. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
16. Keep all breakable objects out of area.
17. All electrical supply circuits providing the electrical power source to be connected to the
whirlpool bath should be checked, installed, and inspected by a licensed electrician and
inspected by the Building Code Authority having jurisdiction at the installation location
upon installation and prior to use of the whirlpool bath.
18. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interruptor (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be
tested on a routine basis. If GFCI fails to operate properly there may be a ground current
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the
unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
19. A green colored terminal is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk
of shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than No. 12 AWG (3.3mm).
20. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PUMP/MOTOR
MOTOR WON'T START
1. Check to see if on/off switch or pneumatic
switch is in "on" mode.
2. Check for loose connections, blown circuit
breakers, GFI or fuses.
3. With the power off at the circuit breaker, check
manually to see that the motor shaft has free
movement and lacks obstruction.
MOTOR CUTS OUT/STOPS
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for loose
wiring/connections.
2. Check for low voltage at the motor (frequently
caused by undersized wire).
NOTE:
Pumps equipped with automatic reset
overload protectors and solid state electronics
and switches aredesigned to eliminate failures
caused by mechanical switches and governors.
MOTOR HUMS BUT DOES NOT START
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for binding of the
motor shaft or obstruction in pump. Manually
rotate motor shaft to see that shaft turns freely.
2. Check for low voltage and undersized gauge
of wire.
PUMP WON'T PUMP
1. Open air control valve to release any possible
air lock.
2. Make sure all suction and discharge lines and
return port are clear and unobstructed.
3. Check to see that water is at high enough level
for pump to prime.
4. Check for air leak in the suction line - slightly
loosen pump union connector and then
re-tighten (by hand).
5. Check for obstructions in the piping system.
LOW FLOW
1. Turn GFI breaker off. Check for any
obstructions in pump that impede impeller.
2. Check for low voltage - undersized gauge
of wire.
3. Check suction line for obstructions and/or
air leaks.
4. Check for obstruction in discharge line.
NOISY PUMP
1. Check for air leak in suction line which can
cause “rumbling” sound.
2. Check for “cavitation” caused by an obstructed
or under sized suction line.
WATER LEAK
1. Turn GFI breaker off.
Check union connectors:
a) Be sure they are tight - hand tighten only.
b) Inspect O-ring to be sure it is properly
seated and not damaged.
2. Turn GFI breaker off.
Water between pump housing and motor:
a) Check the rotary seal to be sure it is clean
and without contamination on surface.
b) Check seal to see if it is worn or damaged
- replace seal if necessary.
