Aquatic
Serenity DriftBath Owner's Manual & Installation Guide
PRE- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
PLEASE NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS A 1/4” VARIANCE. THERE ARE VARIATIONS ON EACH TUB
AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS WE IMPROVE UPON OUR PRODUCT AS REQUIRED.
THE DIMENSIONS NEEDED FOR SITE PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE BUILDINGS SHOULD BE MEASURED
FROM THE TUB; AQUATIC ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR PREPARATORY WORK.
Note: A good knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation according to codes are
required for proper installation. We recommend that a qualified licensed contractor perform the installation of all
Aquatic products. Our warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.
WARNING: All units are shipped with loose unions. Before attempting to test, install, or use your tub, all pump and
heater unions and “O” rings must be repositioned and tightened.
1. Immediately upon receiving your Aquatic tub inspect it thoroughly for freight damage. If necessary, contact your
dealer/distributor immediately (your dealer/distributor must contact Aquatic within 24 hours of receiving unit to file a
claim.) Should inspection indicate any damage, do not install the bath. Damage or defect to the tub surface claimed
after the bath is installed is not covered under the warranty.
2. Remove packing material between tub and pump/heater (most models).
3. All baths are filled with water and operated in our manufacturing facility prior to shipment. Inspectors ensure watertight
operation, however rough handling may cause leaks which may be detected prior to installation.
TO INSPECT:
4. Place the tub in an area where it may be drained after testing.
5. Fill the tub with hot water (approx. 100
O
F) to the overflow and allow to stand for a few minutes.
6. Plug in pump cord and run pump for 10 minutes.
7. Inspect the tub completely. Any defect must be reported to Aquatic prior to installation in order to have it covered by
warranty. Should inspection indicate any damage or leaks, do not install the bath.
Damage or leaks claimed after the bath is installed are not covered under the warranty.
8. Check to ensure that your installation will conform to all applicable codes and secure necessary permits. All electrical
and plumbing connections should be made by qualified electricians and plumbers.
DAMAGE OR LEAKS CLAIMED AFTER THE BATH IS INSTALLED ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS DURING INSTALLATION WILL RESULT
IN TERMINATION OF THE WARRANTY:
Do not lift the tub by any portion of the plumbing or pump.
Do not stand in the tub during construction.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, OR DELETIONS TO THE
WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM, PUMP OR BATH.
WARNING:
Pump and piping are factory assembled. Relocation of pump or other modifications could adversely affect the
performance and safe operation of this tub. Aquatic shall not be liable under its warranty or otherwise for personal injury
or damage caused by any such unauthorized modification.
QUIETNESS OF OPERATION:
Aquatic has engineered their whirlpool baths from base to lip to ensure quality, value,
functional design, and maximum bathing comfort. However installation is accountable for as much as 50% of a tub’s operating
quietness. Please ensure the following:
• The floor structure is adequate to support the installation.
• For quieter operation and heat retention conservation, the walls surrounding the whirlpool may be insulated.
• Insulate the tub surround. Do not allow any insulation to come within 3 feet of the pump. The area around the pump must
be clean and free of any foreign matter.
• Leave 1/8” to 3/16” gap between tub lip and surround.
• Spread a bed of cement mortar on the floor or subfloor under the whirlpool to reduce vibration and noise.
