IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly protected
by a 20 amp ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be
provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the
GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset
button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner,
the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this total massage, whirlpool or
air bathtub. Disconnect The total massage, whirlpool or air bathtub and have
the problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor unit to
permit connection of a no. 8 AWG 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. To reduce the risk of an electric
shock, connect this connector to the grounding terminal of your electric
service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this unit. Use supply wires that are suitable for 167°F
(75°C), including the temperature rating of the supply conductors to be used.

INSPECTION AND TESTING
Each bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with the pump
and plumbing necessary for operation. However, a drain/ overfl ow kit is
required for each bath and it is not included.
The variety of installations for this bath may require framing procedures
other than those shown.
Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions (see pg. 11) are
proper, plumb, and square.
Inspection:
- Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made. Do not lift the bath by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only. All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping.
- Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the fi nish or visible damage to any components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the fi nish claimed after the bathtub is installed is excluded from the warranty.
- Inspect the tub components for loose fi ttings.
Testing:
- Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.
- It is the responsibility of the installer to thoroughly test the tub prior to completing installation. Place the tub on a level surface, ensure drain is sealed and fill the bathtub with water to the bottom of the overflow. Allow water to sit in tub for at least 5 minutes as a static test. If installing a system tub, plug in the motor/ pump and turn it on. Confirm all features function correctly. Visually inspect all joints for leaks.
DO NOT install tub if any leaks are detected or system functions do not work properly.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION
- Whirlpool units require dedicated 20 Amp,120V service.
- You must provide a receptacle with a 20-amp configuration.
- See local codes for proper wire size. If not specified, use #12 Copper only wire.
The unit must be connected to a circuit interrupter (GFCI) provided by the
installer. The (GFCI) breaker should be tested on a routine basis. To test the
(GFCI) breaker, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. To
restore power, push the RESET button. If the GFCI fails to operate in this
manner there is ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electrical shock. Do not use the unit. Disconnect the unit and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. All pumps and blowers must be connected to a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets. Standard Line Total
Massage units can be operated on a single service. All heaters must be
connected to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outlets,
separate from the pump and/or blower.
Electrical outlet must be mounted 4′ (101mm) above the floor line and 12″ max
(305mm) inside from the edge of the bathtub, or in accordance with local
building and electrical codes.
- Risks of component over heat. Do not use electric extension cord to power the unit. Operating the pump without enough water in bathtub can cause permanent damage to the pump/motor.
- If CFGI unit indicates a malfunction, per manufacturer’s instructions, turn OFF power and do not attempt to use the bathtub until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
PROFLO WHIRLPOOL WITH INSTALLED AIR SWITCH
FRAMING AND INSTALLATION
Structural measurements should be verified against the actual bath received to ensure proper fit.
- Never lift the tub by the plumbing. Doing so can result in leaks.
- Check if the floor is level and of good quality. An uneven floor may impede proper installation of the tub.
- Clean installation area of any debris or trash.
Locate studs as needed. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and
square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for
servicing the pump and controls on the pump or blower side.
An access opening of at least 18″ x 24″ must be provided or warranty service
will not be performed. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening
be provided for access to the drain components. The apron should not be used
as the primary access opening.
If the sub-floor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to
installing the bathtub.
Ensure that the entire floor is level and can support a load of 80lbs. per
square foot.
The bathtub must remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make
contact with the leveling material.
- Position the tub into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the base of the tub if necessary. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).
- Remove the tub and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line. Never support the tub by its deck lip or stringers (see figure 2).
- Install drain components to the tub following the drain installation instructions. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor. Before replacing your tub for final installation, bathtubs require a 6″ x 12″ floor opening for the 1-1/2″ drain and waste & overflow kit. The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath.
The bath must be supported along its entire bottom. Do not remove foam base & pad from the bottom of the tub. Use 1-1/2″ to 2″ of mortar as bedding material (do not use sand or foam). After the mortar has been poured, and before it sets, position tub within recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see below).
TYPICAL DROP-IN TYPE INSTALLATION
REFERENCE FOR CORRECT TILE FLANGE INSTALLATION
USE DRAWING BELOW AS A REFERENCE GUIDE FOR ROUGH-IN MEASUREMENTS
Allow the mortar material to completely harden before applying weight to the
rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must
be self supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
Verify that the product is lever by checking the tub deck surface in all
directions.
For system tubs ensure blower and or pump cords are properly plugged into the
dedicated 120V/20A GFCI outlet to supply electrical power to the system
(Please reference pg. 6) for electrical requirement information. To test run
the bath, fill the tub with water at least 3″ above the highest jet and
operate the bath for 5 minutes. Check all bath and piping connections for
leaks.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Do not use wire brushes or any other
metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and
liquid dishwashing detergent.
Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed
with water. Painter’s Naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or
wet oil-base paint.

Use drawing below as a guide for rough-in measurements
Deck-to-floor dimensions are measured through the drain hole to give a more consistent measurement. The dimensions are achieved by laying a straight edge across the deck; the distance was then measured from the floor at the drain opening to the bottom of the straight edge. (See illustration below). The lip height is then subtracted to give a more consistent floor to lip height. There may be height dimension variations of plus minus ¼” from the stated dimension in the table, which is a standard production tolerance. Leave adequate clearance with framing for side mounted controls.
FAUCET DECK MOUNT DIMENSIONS
Deck space where faucets can be mounted is given in diagonal dimension Y and base line dimension Z, which is the long side of the deck corner.

CARE AND CLEANING
The use of bath oils and bath salts is not recommended due to the difficulty
in cleaning the systems and doing so will void the consumer’s warranty.
Pump and pipe circulation system should be flushed before first use and on a
monthly basis when product is under normal use.
Below are the recommended procedures for cleaning:
DO NOT use powdered cleaners unless cleaner is fully dissolved in water.
DO NOT RUN WHIRLPOOL DRY. Fill the tub with hot water 2-3 inches above the
jets and add 2-3 teaspoons of low foaming detergent such as dish washing
machine detergent.
DO NOT use full strength bleach of ammonia cleaning solutions. Chemically
active cleaning solution can damage the bath surface.
- Switch on whirlpool and run for 10 minutes.
- Drain tub completely.
- Fill tub with cold water above jets.
- Switch on whirlpool and run for 5 minutes.
- Drain tub completely.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS as they will scratch and dull the surface of the
acrylic and void the consumer warranty. Plaster can be removed using a
sharpened wooden stick.
DO NOT USE METAL SCRAPERS, WIRE BRUSHES OR OTHER HARSH ABRASIVE TOOLS.
Usually a mild detergent will remove construction debris. More stubborn debris
may be removed with denatured alcohol, or Clorox Soft Scrub® cleaner. Light
scratches and dulled areas may be restored to original luster by rubbing with
an automotive type cleaning compound such as DuPont White Polishing Compound®.
Note: To restore dull or scratched units: Apply white automotive
polishing with a clean rage. Rub scratches and dull areas vigorously.
Wipe off residue. Follow with a coat of white automotive paste wax.
DO NOT wax areas where you walk or stand. For crack and major surface damage,
call customer service at 1-800-221-3379
for repair recommendations.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill the bath to at least 3 inches above the jets before activating the pump. DO NOT turn on whirlpool unless jets are completely submersed in water.
- If any factory installed fittings are removed; do not operate the unit. A safety hazard may occur.
- Do not use bubble bath when you operate the whirlpool pump. This might cause excessive foaming.
- Bath oils should not be used when you operate the whirlpool. If used while soaking, please drain and clean the tub thoroughly prior to activating the whirlpool system.
- The use of bath salts is not recommended and doing so will VOID THE CONSUMER’S WARRANTY.
- Whirlpool systems are plumbed in a way that water will drain from the plumbing easily.
- There are no user serviceable parts located under the tub. If a problem develops, call 1-800-221-3379
JET OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
| PF6036 Jets : The jets can be easily adjusted by pointing the jet-
nozzle in the desired direction. The strength of the water flow and air
induction can be regulated through twisting the jet- nozzle. Twisting the
nozzle counter-clockwise will decrease the water flow of that particular jet.
If the nozzle is twisted clockwise then the water flow will increase up to its
maximum flow. Only a 1/4 turn or 90° turn is required from the lowest flow
position to the fully OPEN position.
All other PROFLO jets: The jets can be easily adjusted by pointing the
jet-nozzle in the desired direction. The strength of the water flow and air
induction can be regulated through twisting the jet- nozzle. Twisting the
nozzle clockwise will decrease the water flow of that particular jet If the
nozzle is twisted counter-clockwise then the water flow will increase up to
its maximum flow. Only a 1/4 turn or 90° turn is required from the lowest flow
position to the fully OPEN position.
