Installation instruction

Inspection before installation
Although all our massage bathtub are water tested before they leave our factory, there may be some loose of the hose connections due to the transport. We need water test the product before installation. The steps are as follow:

a. Place the tub on a flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing. And adjust the feet to make the bathtub level;

c. Close the door, fill the tub with water to the overflow and allow standing for 10 minutes to inspect the tub for leaks;
d. Insert the plug, start all the function for few minutes (which includes the functions of massage ), inspect the tub completely any defect must be reported to your dealer/distributor prior to installation in order to have it covered under warranty.

Adjust the leveling feet
According to different sizes bathtubs, we design about several leveling feet to adjust the bathtub. Please use a wrench or level ruler to level the bathtub.

How to connect the water?
For ease of use, our bathtub is equipped with stainless steel cold and hot water hoses (connector ø 1/2″). Please connect the cold and hot water hoses to the bathroom’s cold and hot water hoses accordingly.
Before connect bathtub water inlet pipe, first open water pipe for a period of time, then put filter screen to ensure that the debris will not enter the bathtub pipe. So that we can effectively extend the life of the fitting.

The drain pipe is 31.5″ long and the ground drain should be 12″ — 20″ away from the bathtub drain so that the drainpipe can form an S-bend for odor isolation
Insert the drain-pipe to the drain-hole on the floor, and then cover it with water retaining cover to prevent waste water spilling.

The red hose stands for hot water hose; the blue hose stands for cold water hose;
Drain-pipe should be installed with slope above 1 :50;
Notice Do not hold the drain-pipe and cold/hot water hoses when moving the bathtub,and do not crash it with hard objects.

How to connect the electricity?
User needs to purchase two separate 110/120V 15amp plugs and install the proper dedicated plug with a ground electrode to the power line. Then insert the plug frmly.

Note: This product uses universal home power.
External circuitry is equipped with high sensitive and fast type leakage protection switch. (Induced current rating below 15MA; trip time should be less than 0.1 second; rated current is above 30A.)

Notice
The product should be installed alongside ground and electric leakage switches by a licensed electrician.

Make sure the ground is connected. One side of the ground should be connected to the ground terminal of the motor and the stainless steel frame; the other side should be connected to the ground wires of the plug.
