By removing the access panels you will be able to grab on to the frame to carry the tub. Do not lift the pet spa by the plumbing or any other parts. Inspect the plumbing or other parts that may have loosened in transit or by carrying the Pet Spa inside your home/garage.

WARNING: Remove two (2) access panels and one (1) end panel before carrying the pet spa to prevent it from falling, breaking, and damaging loose components.

Pet Spa Drain Installation Warning

The screw from the drain plug gets adjusted and then you tight the backnut.

Backnut MUST be securely tightened.
Failure to do so will cause loosening I over time resulting in it coming apart and falling down the drain.

Drain must open completely to drain properly and close completely to avoid unnecessary drainage.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Read through the entire manual completely before beginning installation.
Contract a licensed plumber and electrician for installation. Be sure you and your contractor are aware and follow all local plumbing and electrical codes. Your Ella Microbubble Therapy Pet Spa is not intended for outdoor use. Install the tub in accordance with the instructions in the manual. Use ONLY the parts and accessories provided or as recommended by the manufacturer.
CAUTION:
When using this product, basic precautions should always be followed. Read and follow all instructions pertaining to risk of fire, electric shock and injury. Make sure and have your licensed electrician test all connections to the dedicated line, including the GFCI. Risk of electric shock; Do not permit electric appliances within 3 feet (1.5m) of the tub. i.e.: hair dryers, lamps, phones, radios, televisions, etc. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with disabilities to use this product unless they are supervised by an able-bodied adult at all times. Never drop or insert any objects into any openings.
CAUTION:
Safety is one of our greatest concerns and that is why we use a Thermostatic Control Valve to regulate temperature output. Some plumbers and contractors recommend that home owners and installers reduce the temperature of their water heaters to save energy and prevent scalding. This isn’t a recommendation we would give, and would guide you away from doing so.
According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air- Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE®), water in a home system needs to be stored at 140°F (60°C) otherwise Legionella disease bacteria (LDB) is susceptible to growth.
Thermostatic Control Valve Operations Instructions Continued On Pages 11 & 12

Required Steps Prior to Installation

Electrical:
The unit MUST be connected to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) provided and installed by a licensed electrician and tested periodically (refer to instructions provided by GFCl manufacturer). Operating the pumps without first filling the bath to above the jets can cause permanent damage to your equipment. Push the GFCl “test” button into “reset” mode. If the GFCl fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flow or a device malfunction, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. If this occurs, turn OFF the power and do not use the bathtub until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
NOTE: One (1) 120V GFClI 20AMP breaker/dedicated line to plug in a single connection.
Water Test:
It is important to test that the Microbubble Therapy System is functioning properly before final inwall installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.

A. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.
B. Using a clean rag and warm water wipe down seal to insure it is free of debris.
C. Seal the drains (this can be done with tape) and fill the tub to at least three inches above the highest jet, or to the bottom of the grab bar if no jets are present.
D. Allow the water to stand in tub for 30 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for leaks.
E. Using appropriately rated three-prong extension cords, all plugged in to separate outlets, operate all electrical components if applicable for another 30 minutes and inspect for leaks again.

2″ PVC Drain

Door and Frame Adjustments

Your walk in bathtub has been tested and leveled properly before leaving our facility. Our Microbubble Pet Spa have been set on a perfectly level surface to ensure no leaks and proper door closing. Itis up to your installer to test and make any adjustments necessary to ensure that all leveling legs support the tub frame and that the door is aligned correctly to prevent any leaks. The door must close smoothly to create a water tight seal. If the tub is not perfectly leveled, it may cause frame and shell warping which can cause changes in door alignment resulting in water leakage and void the warranty.
Extending or shortening the legs will help correct any alignment issues to close the gap between the door and the frame. Please call 1-800-480-6850 immediately if any issues arise or if you have any concerns.

A closer view of the leg is shown below

Note: Graphic above does NOT reflect the actual frame.
Warning: Make sure all legs are leveled and that they touch/sit on the floor evenly.

Service Access and Door Seal

It is the responsibility of the installer or owner to provide access for service required, per code. Ella is not responsible for any costs related to obtaining access for repair. The owner shall assume responsibility for such costs, and if appropriate, must seek recovery from the installer.
Do not insulate around the tub equipment. The tub, frame and all parts have been engineered to provide the proper ventilation. Any obstructions may cause the pumps or other electrical components to overheat.
Door Seal
Please keep in mind that the door has been closed for an extended period of time throughout shipping and the bathtub has been stored in various temperatures. It is possible for the silicone seal to stick to the frame when stored for extended periods of time. When the bathtub is received, the door seal should be checked for deformations from shipping and re-formed and adjusted where necessary. To restore the door seal, the seal must be released and allowed to relax with the door open. This is done by squeezing the seal with your finger tips and pulling it away from the door frame to regain its flexibility and original form. It is recommended that the door be kept open when not in use to increase the lifetime of the door seal and maintain its flexibility.

Deck Mounted Thermostatic Control Valve

What is a Thermostatic Control Valve:
The purpose of a Thermostatic Control Valve (TCV) is to regulate the temperature of water before it reaches your sink or bathtub faucet. A TCV ensures constant temperature of water by blending hot water with cold water to prevent scalding or thermal shock. There are circumstances where inlet temperature and pressure are inconsistent and pose potential danger to a bather. Responding to these variations in temperature and pressure is the only way to ensure maximum safety.
Thermostatic Control Valve Features:

• Adjustable water temperature preset
• No water temperature fluctuation at the faucet
• Prevents scalding and thermal shock

Deck Mounted Thermostatic Control Valve Continued
How Does A Thermostatic Control Valve Work:
Before the use of tempered water in a bathtub, outlet temperature is adjusted by a thermostat in the mixing chamber of the valve. The thermostat automatically positions a seat assembly which controls the flow of hot and cold water supplied to the mixing chamber. If the mixed outlet temperature decreases, the cold water inlet port gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by the contraction of the thermostat. On the contrary, if the mixed outlet temperature increases, the hot water inlet port gets blocked by the seat assembly. That is adjusted by the expansion of the thermostat. In both cases, outlet water temperature is fixed at a set point.
Note: Cleaning and replacement of TCV cartridge due to calcium or other particle buildup in water is the customer’s responsibility. Ella’s Bubbles will provide cleaning of the cartridges at no cost if they are shipped to Ella’s Bubbles facility. For technical support, sales or to order a part call toll free 1-800-480-6850
