BATH PUMP SPECIFICATIONS:
115/120 VAC 6.6 AMP 60 HZ -OR- 115/120 VAC 10.6 AMP
60 HZ, requires a dedicated circuit protected with a 15
AMP GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
See Diagram #3
For units equipped with luxury upgrades:
115/120 VOLT, 11.2 AMP, 60 HZ. requires a dedicated
circuit protected with a 20 amp GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter)
See Diagram #4
For all installations, install an outlet to the stud wall a
minimum of 6 inches above the floor, located near the
pump access opening.
IN-LINE HEATER (OPTIONAL) SPECIFICATIONS:
1.5 KW, 115/120 VOLT, 12.4 AMP
The In-Line Heater must be connected to a 115/120 VAC,
20 AMP, dedicated circuit protected with a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter). Install an outlet to the stud wall.
The outlet must be a minimum of 6 inches above the floor
and must be located near the access panel.
Note: Where applicable grounding lugs are provided on
the exterior of the pump, in-line heater and control box
to permit connection of a No. 8 solid copper bonding
conductor between this unit and all other electrical
equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to
comply with local requirements.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
TESTING:
Water test the unit prior to installation. Set it up where it can be drained after testing.
Plug the drain hole and fill to the overflow. Make sure all fittings, thru-walls and piping are water tight.
If leaks are present, contact the distributer or American Whirlpool Customer Service Department.
DO NOT INSTALL THE BATH.
ROUGH IN:
Rough in should be kept to a minimum until the unit is on the job site. Measurements
may vary plus or minus 1/4 inch from original specifications.
TUB SUPPORT - TAKE SPECIAL NOTE:
The tub bottom must be supported by a setting
compound such as cement or mortar (fast cure materials are not recommended due to excessive
shrinkage). A sheet of plastic film, both under and on top of compound is recommended as a bar-
rier. The tub should be set in place (Do not handle the whirlpool by the piping) while the compound
is still soft and that the compound will conform to the tub bottom. The tub should be worked down
into the compound until the tub lip is just barely in contact with the deck or stringers. It may be
necessary to partialy fill the tub with water to aid in properly setting the tub.
CHECKING LEVEL:
Place the unit in the location of installation. Using a 5 or 6 foot level, check
level (length and width) to determine if the floor is level. If it is not, calculate how much mortar you
will have to use to level the tub. Pour a small amount of water onto the deck of the tub.
Check that the water drains from the deck into the interior of the tub.
WALL INSTALLATION:
When the unit is to be placed against a wall, blocking should be
attached to the wall in such a way as to allow the tub lip to rest on the blocking.
DO NOT ALLOW
TUB LIP TO SUPPORT ANY OF THE BATH”S WEIGHT
(See diagram #1). If a screw flange is pro-
vided, see flange instructions (See page 6).
INSTALL TO PERMIT ACCESS FOR SERVICING:
A minimum access panel of 15” x 20”
must be provided should the pump or other equipment need service at a later date.
Inspect the unit carefully to ensure there is no damage or defects present. Be sure the
unit is correct size, color and has all features originally ordered.

DECK INSTALLATION:
For deck mounted tubs, use the dimension of the unit and subtract
1-1/2 inches to reach your platform opening dimensions. e.g. Tub dimensions are 60” x 32”.
Platform opening will be: 58-1/2” x 30-1/2”. (See diagram #2)
FAUCET AND VALVES:
Faucet and valves may be installed through the tub deck. Use a
sharp hole saw, making sure the spout will clear the deck edge before drilling. A heat resistant
material must be placed between the tub and any soldering work to prevent damage to the tub.
FINISHING:
Before closing in the unit fill the tub 2” above the highest jet. Run the pump for 15
minutes and check for leaks. Shut off the pump, let stand for 5 minutes and check again for leaks.
When draining the bath, check tub’s base for proper drainage.
NOTE:
The tub must be cleaned before operating the pump.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP
WITHOUT THE SUCTION COVER IN PLACE.
After the unit has been tested, close in with the material of your choice. Seal around the tub lip
and surrounding walls (where applicable) with a water resistant sealer.
Clean out the unit using a damp cloth and liquid detergent. do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaners.
Fill tub and test operation.
