Ground Noise Isolation System
The optional ground noise isolation system (GNIS) is designed to reduce the frequencies trans-
ferred through the ground into the water. The rubber springs will only work once the tank is filled
and salt is added as the system is designed for the working load of the product so will not work
correctly with the tranquillity empty.
Typical noises that can be heard through the water include road noise, toilets flushing, foot steps,
doors closing, these type of sounds can be transmitted through the floor due, the GNIS will reduce
these to give a superior float experience.
When installing, the heavy GNIS board is placed down
where the standard insulation would be fitted, the insu-
lation panel is thinner to account for the height differ-
ence.
The GNIS system will only work on the parts that
are then resting on top of the board. The side panels
around the Tranquillity do not sit on the board. It is very
important that the side panels do not touch the tub any-
where. The pump and sits on the floor and is connected
to the tub through a rubber hose, as is the filter housing
return pipe - these are the only parts that connect the
isolated tub to the ground.
The GNIS board can be seen here with the insulation,
silicone heater mats and heaters ready for the tub to
be placed down.
