Do not attempt to remove the foam or board from the bottom of the tub. Doing so may
cause damage and will void warranty.
1. Never handle the bath by the blower, piping or other equipment.
2. Make sure the manifold and airlines are protected when moving the tub into the house.
3. An access panel of at least 16” x 14” must be provided for the blower for any future servicing.
4. The blower must not be insulated and must have sufficient air space to permit proper
operation. Surrounding ambient air temperature should be between 72º F and 86º F.
5. The heating element on your blower heats the air blown into the tub to prevent the
water from cooling too quickly. It will not, under any circumstances, reheat or
maintain the temperature of the bath water.
6. The area underneath and around the tub must be cleaned thoroughly before finalizing
installation to prevent any particles from entering the blower or being blown into the air
jets.
7. Before filling the tub, clean installation debris and dirt from the interior of the tub. If
necessary, use the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
8. Fill tub and test for proper operation and leaks. Note: The blower must be plugged into
a GFCI protected outlet.
Note: All air baths are equipped with an automatic drying cycle. The blower will turn on for 1-2 minutes
approximately 20 minutes after the air system is turned off. This drying cycle cannot be cancelled. Any
attempt to cancel this cycle only resets the countdown timer.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEGRAL SKIRTED TUBS
All Reliance Integral Skirted tubs come with several standard features. Standard features include an
integral molded front skirt, integral three-sided tile flange and a pre-leveled foam base. These tubs are
designed to be installed in a three-wall alcove.
1. Slide tub into installation location. Check to ensure that the tub is level to allow for proper drainage. If
the tub is not level, do not continued with the installation. A self leveling compound may be used to level
the subfloor. Read and follow all manufacturers directions.
2. Carefully drill 1/8” holes through the tile flange at each stud location. Secure to stud with screws,
being careful not to over-tighten as this might cause the acrylic to crack or chip. Do not attempt to drive
nails throught the integral flange.
See ‘Tile Flange - Factory Installed’ on previous page.
