on the subfloor where the whirlpool will be set.
This will help secure, level, and support the unit.

Do not use gypsum cement or drywall
compound for this application, as they will not provide
an acceptable, durable bond.

of the cement or mortar bed. With help, carefully lift
the whirlpool into place, and make sure the pump
controls and support blocks do not rest in the bed
material.
