Important Product Information (cont.)

Connections and Service Access

NOTICE: Provide unrestricted service access to the pump and heater. Provide unrestricted service
access to the pump, in-line heater, adjustable feet, and control box. You must construct an access panel to
provide sufficient clearance for servicing the pump, in-line heater, and control box. The access panel must
be located immediately next to the pump and in-line heater. Study the roughing-in information.

Electrical Requirements

The installation must have two Residual Current Devices (RCD's). The RCD protects against line-to-ground
shock hazard. Use a 208-240 V, 20 A, 50/60 Hz dedicated service for the pump controls. Use a separate
208-240 V, 20 A, 50/60 Hz dedicated service for the heater.
An equipment grounding terminal is provided in the field wiring compartment. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical supply
panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.

Before You Begin

Your bath is designed for deck mount, undermount, or alcove installations.
You must install the bath onto an adequately supported, level subfloor.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
Choose a fill spout which will provide adequate reach and a minimum 51 mm (2") air gap above
the bathing well rim of the overflowing bath. You may need to build up the deck material to obtain
adequate air space because the outer rim may be lower than the bathing well rim depending on the
specific area of the bath.
Follow local plumbing codes.
The bath must be filled with water through the bathing well, not the overflow channel.
If you plan to install a deck-mounted, hand-held shower, the diverter vacuum breaker must
maintain a minimum 25 mm (1") air gap above the bath rim.
