ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other applicable codes.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed,
including the following:
-
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. -
Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
-
Install to permit access for servicing.
-
All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential.

DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST
Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely.
Check the pump couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2″ above the top of the highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings are factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occured during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is connected to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on.
Check for leaks around all piping connections while the whirlpool is running.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. 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.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ENAMEL SURFACES.
Abrasive cleanars must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
