This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your MTI bathtub. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or fire.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all times. Supervision is also required when bath is used by an elderly or handicapped  individual.
Never leave a full or filling bath unattended.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not operate this unit without guard over the suction fitting.
The water in a hydrotherapy bath should never exceed 40˚ C (104˚ F). Water temperatures between 38˚ C (100˚ F) and 40˚ C (104˚ F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 10 minutes, followed by a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia, which can be fatal. The symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness and fainting. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 – 15 minutes) and for young children.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hydrotherapy bath water temperatures to 38˚ C (100˚ F).
The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during hydrotherapy bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. Never use the hydrotherapy bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics or tranquilizers.
Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a hydrotherapy bath.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hydrotherapy bath since medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or within 5′ of the bath. Never drop or insert any object into any opening within the hydrotherapy bath. DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to circuits protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Such a device should be installed by a licensed electrician and should be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test the GFCI push the TEST button. The GFCl should interrupt the power. Push the RESET button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner there is the possibility of an electric shock. DO NOT USE.

ATTENTION INSTALLER!

THIS TUB MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION AND LEAKS PRIOR TO ENCLOSURE OF SURROUNDING AREAS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID WARRANTY. THIS TUB WAS WATER TESTED AT THE FACTORY AND FOUND TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND LEAK-FREE PRIOR TO SHIPPING. FREIGHT, HANDLING AND JOB SITE EXPOSURE MAY HAVE DETERIORATED THE TUB’S CONDITION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO THOROUGHLY TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. TUBS ARE INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. TUBS ARE WARRANTED FOR INDOOR INSTALLATION IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT ONLY.
TEST PROCEDURES

1. Place the tub on a flat surface such as the driveway.

2. Seal the drain with tape.

3. Fill tub to overflow and allow tub to stand for five minutes without the pump running. Examine all fittings carefully for leaks.
   NOTE: The overflow is a plumbing device designed to prevent water from reaching a certain level in your tub. DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off or block the overflow in any way. Any controls located above the normal water line are designed to be waterresistant, not water-proof. The controls will not leak under normal usage, however, they are not warranted against leaks when improperly used or subjected to conditions for which they were not designed.

4. Plug in the inline heater and pump, Radiance or LED light control box into a 110v GFCI outlet. Start the equipment and check all fittings for leaks and proper operation.

5. Check that all the features on the tub match exactly what was ordered.

6. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until problems are resolved. MTI will not be responsible for leaks claimed after the tub is installed, nor any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub or the costs of any surrounding materials or labor.
   See troubleshooting section of this manual or call for assistance: 800-783-8827

Always protect tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. Damage, including chips and scratches, incurred at the jobsite is excluded from warranty, but may be repaired by qualified technician at the owner’s expense. Do not stand in the tub or store materials in the tub during construction. Do not store tub in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper waste and overflow installation is the responsibility of the installer. MTI does not warrant leaks associated with improper waste and overflow installation.
There are many possible ways to install your new MTI tub, and some may require different framing than the following instructions. Keep in mind that the framing should always provide a level surface for the rim of the tub and sufficient space below the tub for bedding compound. Access must be provided to each pump, or electrical component on your tub. The access panels must have a minimum size of 16″ x 14″ for installation and future servicing of the equipment. MTI will not authorize any service unless clear access is available. The installer is responsible for providing access for any future servicing. The bolts/screws through the mounting feet on the pump may be loosened or removed once the tub is in place if necessary for future servicing.
Each MTI tub may be ordered with a wide array of options. If your tub has more than two power cords, the power cords will be gathered together with a bright yellow hang tag to indicate the number of power cords to be plugged in for proper operation. See electrical specifications on page 4.
Additional access to plumbing fixtures is strongly recommended. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with local plumbing codes regarding pump and plumbing access. Note: Do not allow any material such as insulation within 8″ of pump. Pump must have sufficient air space surrounding it for circulation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warning – When installing or using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including:

1. Soaking tubs equipped with an in-line heater require dedicated 110V circuits for the electrical components. Please see Electrical Specifications on page 4. If your tub has more than two power cords, the power cords will be gathered together with a hang tag indicating how many items must be plugged in for proper operation. This circuit must be connected to a supply that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and 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, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
2. MTI pumps and inline heaters are supplied with a 29″ grounded plug to be plugged into a grounded recepticle. Do not remove this plug. The control(s) for various options are typically located on the tub, and a wall switch is not necessary. Under no circumstance should you alter the provided supply cord.
3. *A pressure wire connector is supplied on the exteror of the pump to permit connection of a No.8AWG (8.4mm) 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.
   WARNING:** Unauthorized modification may cause unsafe operation and poor performance of the whirlpool. Do not relocate the whirlpool pump, or make other modifications to the whirlpool system, as this could adversely affect the performance and safe operation of the whirlpool. MTI shall not be liable under its warranty or otherwise for personal injury or damage caused by any such unauthorized modification.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
WARNING— When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including these: (Please read and follow all directions. Save these instructions.)

1. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children or infirmed persons to use this product unless they are supervised at all times.
2. This MTI hydrotherapy unit is designed for use only as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Do not drop or insert any object into any opening.
4. Do not operate this tub without the guard over the suction fitting (water intake). The guard is a safety device that reduces the potential hazard of hair or body  entrapment. Keep hair and body away from suction guard when pump is running.
5. Anyone under doctor’s care, pregnant, or whose health is poor should check with a physician before using any whirlpool bath system.
6. Recommended length of hydrotherapy bath is 10 minutes. However, if you become dizzy or nauseated or develop a headache, get out at once and cool down. Get  medical attention if symptoms persist. Also check with your physician before using this system again.

8. Before servicing unit, shut off all electrical outlets as more than one outlet may be energized.

Electrical Specifications

*Subject to change without notice. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with all State and Local codes.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Do not begin building any structure for your tub until your tub arrives. All printed specifications for MTI tubs have +/- ½” tolerance AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE  AT ANY TIME. Take all final installation dimensions from your tub. Note: the pre-leveled foam base and pre-leveled frame add approximately 2-3 inches to the height of the  tub. The bolts/screws through the mounting feet on the pump may be loosened or removed once the tub is in place if necessary for future servicing.
MTI tubs are not equipped with leveling feet. The tub must be leveled from the top flange in both directions and bedding compound used underneath for proper operation.  MTI recommends Quikrete #1103, sand/ topping mix. Sheetrock mud or plaster are not acceptable to use as bedding compound. Determine the final height of the tub rim  by measuring from the underside of the rim to the floor on the drain side and add ½” to allow for bedding compound. If your tub has a pre-leveled foam base, do not add  ½” since wetbedding is not necessary.
The tub must be leveled by the rim of the tub, and supported by the bedding (or foam base) under the full length of the tub bottom. MTI recommends using a plastic sheet  barrier on top of and underneath the bedding compound. Carefully lower tub into place. Shift tub side to side to settle into compound.
The tub will not drain properly if not level both front to back and side to side. Use care not to damage any plumbing, wiring or other options when bedding the tub. Let  compound harden overnight before use. Failure to properly bed the tub will void any warranty on the tub shell.
Note: Pre-leveled frame eliminates the need to frame the walls or use bedding compound to level the tub.
The pre-leveled frame adds ½ to 3 inches of height, depending on the specific model of tub.

ALCOVE
Mark a level line on the stud walls using the measurement determined above. A 2×2 or similar stringer will be attached to the studs touching this line. All mounting surfaces  must be level to allow for proper drainage. Framing of the same height should be constructed across the front of the tub for skirt, tile or other material. Remember to allow  for access to each heater, pump and/or electrical component.

DROP IN
Use the above dimension as the finished deck height from the floor. The drop in opening should be approximately 1-½ inches smaller than the outside dimensions of the tub.  This will create a ¾ inch ledge to support the entire rim of the tub. It is best to have as large an opening as possible in the deck to clear the plumbing and other tub  accessories. Full size templates for oval or odd shaped tubs are available. The bottom of the tub must be fully supported with bedding compound and must bear the weight of  the tub, water and bather. Under no circumstances should the tub “hang” by the top flange.

UNDERMOUNT
MTI does not make recommendations as to the size and shape of the opening for undermount installation. Do NOT use any templates supplied by MTI for undermounting.  Construct framing for the tub using the measurement determined above. The framing structure is to level the tub.
Additional framing must be provided around the tub to support the weight of the decking material.
The rim of the tub is not to bear the weight of the deck material! Have tub at jobsite and measure or template very carefully before cutting any decking materials. MTI is not responsible for any preparatory labor or materials. If your application calls for solid surface material covering only the width of the tub flange, additional support is not  necessary.

INTEGRAL SKIRTED
All of MTI’s Integral Skirted tubs come with several standard features including an integral molded front skirt, integral three-sided tile flange and a pre-leveled foam base.  These tubs are designed for three-wall alcove installation applications.

1. Slide tub into installation location. Check to ensure that the tub is level to allow for proper drainage. If the tub is level, proceed to step two. If the tub is not level, use  bedding compound to level tub.
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 may cause the acrylic to crack  or chip. Do not attempt to drive nails through the integral flange. See illustrations on pages 6.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

THE OPTIONS BELOW ARE NOT STANDARD ON EVERY BATH. PLEASE CHECK YOUR ORDER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL OPTIONS ADDED.
IN-LINE HEATER – If your tub came equipped with the separate re-circulating inline heater and pump combination, there will be a separate on/off control on the tub to  activate the in-line heater. Both the heater and pump must be plugged into a 110 VAC, 20 amp, GFCI protected outlet.
RADIANCE® – Each Radiance system comes with an on/off touch pad, or a designated icon one keypad, and a transformer box equipped with a 27″ power cord. There are  two heated zones for each Radiance system purchased. To install, simply plug the transformer box into a 110 V, GFCI protected outlet. The transformer box draws 5 amps.
CHROMATHERAPY – Simply plug the control box into a GFCI outlet. The transformer box draws 1 amp.
STREAM BATH – Requires a 110V, 15 Amp GFCI circuit. Simply plug the control box into a GFCI outlet.
The pump draws 3 Amps.
TILE FLANGE – FACTORY-INSTALLED

1. Determine mounting height of tub.
2. Make sure tub is properly bedded and level from front to back and side to side.
3. Screw through the flange into studs-no pre-drilling is necessary. The tile flange is not designed to support the weight of the tub!
4. Seal / fill the void between the tile flange and tub with clear silicone.

TILE FLANGE KIT – FIELD INSTALLATION

1. Clean tub flange.
2. Apply supplied adhesive to tub flange and tile flange with brush, being careful not to get adhesive on top of tub.
3. Position tub 2-3″ from wall.
4. Apply tile flange to tub flange.
5. Position the tub against the walls. Adhesive will set in five minutes.
6. Seal / fill the void between the tile flange and tub with clear silicone.
7. Trim any excess flange.

INTEGRAL TILE FLANGE
Determine mounting height of front flange of tub. If installing with optional skirt, mounting height is the height of the skirt.
With front flange at proper height, shim tub until level. Carefully drill 1/8″ holes through the tile flange at each stud location.
Use bedding compound to support tub to correct height. Secure to stud with screws, being careful not to over-tighten as this may cause acrylic to crack or chip. Do not  attempt to drive nails through the integral flange. See images at right.

PRE-LEVELED FRAME
Place tub into proper location and attach to floor or studs with 2″ screws drilled through frame. This system does not require bedding compound unless subfloor is uneven  and unit must be shimmed to achieve level. The pre-leveled frame adds approximately 1/2″-3″ to the height of the bath.

VIRTUAL SPOUT
Incoming water is connected to mixing valves mounted on the tub, surrounding deck or wall. Output from the mixing valves must then be tied into either a Wilkins Dual- Check Valve or Atmospheric Vent Valve, depending on local backflow prevention plumbing codes. If code requires an Atmospheric Vent Valve, you can use either a tub  mounted or deck mounted Breda Valve or an In- wall Acme Valve. Output from any of these valves is then connected to the Virtual Spout. See specific installation  instructions below.
NOTE: An In-wall Acme Atmospheric Vent Valve and Wilkins Dual-Check Valve is packaged with the Virtual Spout and is included in the price. If using a deck mounted Breda instead of an In-wall Valve, the Breda Valve must be purchased separately.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUB-MOUNTED OR DECK-MOUNTED BREDA VALVE (FIGURE 1)

• Before you begin, check and observe local plumbing codes.
• Install mixing valves on tub, surrounding deck or wall.
• Connect the mixed water line from the mixing valves to the bottom center inlet port on the Breda Atmospheric Vent Valve.
• The Breda Valve is pre-plumbed to direct the water flow to the filler port located on the inside wall of the tub.
• MTI recommends providing access to the Breda Valve for any future servicing.
• Check all plumbing for leaks and proper operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACME IN-WALL ATMOSPHERIC VACUUM BREAKER (FIGURE 2)

• Before you begin, check and observe local plumbing codes.
• Install mixing valves on tub, surrounding deck or wall.

• Connect the output from the In-Wall Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker to the copper pipe leading to the Virtual Spout.
• Check all plumbing for leaks and proper operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ACME IN-WALL UNIT

• The Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker is subject to normal maintenance and therefore must be installed in such a way that it will be accessible after the tub installation is complete.
• Since, under backsiphonage conditions, small amounts of water may be spilled through the air port, the Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker must be located and installed in  such as way that the water will be captured and contained.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WILKINS DUAL- CHECK VALVE (FIGURE 3)

• Before you begin, check and observe local plumbing codes.
• Install mixing valves on tub, surrounding deck or wall.
• Connect mixed water line from the mixing valves to the Wilkins Dual Check Valve.

STREAM BATH – KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ACRYLIC SHELL
The cross-linked cast acrylic surface of all MTI acrylic products is among the glossiest, highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. With normal use, cast acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care. To maintain the high gloss, elegant look of the cast acrylic surface, follow these simple steps:
Use common household, non-abrasive cleaners for most cleaning jobs (for example: a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Follow manufacturer’s directions and precautions. Do not use unless the product label specifically states that it is safe for acrylic. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Be sure to check the product label. Some products, although not containing abrasives, WILL damage the acrylic over time.
Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on your acrylic product unless it specifically states that it is safe for use on acrylic!
Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on the acrylic surface or controls as permanent damage will occur.
Do not allow your cast acrylic surface to come into contact with nail polish, nail polish remover, Wintergreen oil, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
Clean grease, oil, paint or ink stains with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface. Small scratches can be removed by applying a thin coat of automotive polishing liquid and  buffing lightly with a clean cloth. For deeper scratches, sand the surface lightly with a 400 grit “wet or dry” paper and buff with a fine grit buffing compound.
MTI strongly recommends a professional acrylic repair person for deep scratches or chips.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INLINE HEATER / PUMP
Fill tub with warm water 2″ above highest intake. Add 1/4 cup of MTI’s Fresh Wave Cleaning Solution, 1 cup vinegar OR several drops of low sudsing detergent. Activate  inline heater for 3 minutes, turn system off, then simply drain tub.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: How do I find the serial or registration number for my tub?****

– A: The serial number can be found on the warranty card included with the installation manual for
your tub. When tub is equipped with an inline heater, the sticker is typically placed 3-4 inches over the inline heater/pump. If tub does not have an inline heater, the sticker will be placed on the drain side of the tub near the overflow. Please write your serial number on the front of this book for future service needs.

Q: The inline heater/pump combo will not turn on. What should I check first?****

– A: Check that the red air tube is securely connected to the on/off button and the pump. Test the outlet for power by plugging in a small lamp or hair dryer. Check to make  sure the breaker is not tripped. Replace GFCI outlet or breaker if necessary. The inline heater and pump have separate power cords; ensure that both are plugged in to a working GFCI receptacle. The indicator light on the top of the heater will glow, indicating it is functioning properly. Keep in mind, the inline heater will not heat your water; it will just maintain the water temperature up to 102 degrees.

Q: How long does it take for the Radiance feature to reach maximum temperature?****

– A: The Radiance feature will reach maximum operating temperature in approximately 1 hour.
If preferred, Radiance may be left on continuously.

Q: The LED lights are not turning on. What should I check first?****

– A: Make sure the power cord is plugged into a working receptacle. Check that the connection from
the keypad to the control box is secure at both ends. Please note that there will be an unused, female power cord exiting the control box adjacent to the male power cord that is plugged in to your receptacle.

Q: There is a rust colored, greasy ring in my bath tub. What causes this?****

– A: The condition results from sediment in the water heater of the home. Drain and flush the heater according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and then clean the interior of the tub with mild, grease-cutting dish soap.

Q: What is recommended to clean the acrylic surface?****

– A: Any mild dish soap will clean the surface. Never use any aerosol sprays, “scrubbing bubbles” or abrasive cleaners, as they can cause permanent damage.

Q: How can I get scratches out of my acrylic tub?****

– A: Most scratches can be buffed out using an automotive polish. Any polish suitable for use on “clear coated” automobile paint is fine. Deeper scratches and chips may  require the services of a professional acrylic repair technician.
