Make Connections
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump only to
properly installed Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCI). Do not remove the plug grounding
pins. Do not use grounding adapters.
Verify that the air actuator tubing is securely attached to the pump and to the air switch button in
the whirlpool. Use a small mirror and flashlight to assist you.
Make sure that the tubing is not kinked or damaged, and that the tubing slips into place on
adapters at the switch and at the pump. Make any required corrections to the air actuator tubing.
Visually inspect the whirlpool pump and piping harness for damage.
Verify that the bonding conductor is connected to the pump in accordance with the applicable
codes.
Plug the pump's electrical cord into the GFCI outlet.
Test Run the Whirlpool
For additional information on whirlpool operation, see the "Confirm Proper Operation" section of this guide.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not fill the whirlpool above the bottom of the overflow
drain. Doing so may cause the whirlpool piping to leak. The whirlpool is not designed to hold
water above the overflow.
Check all electrical connections and make sure that the electrical power to the whirlpool is turned
on.
Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut.
Fill the whirlpool with water to at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.
Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes. Check all whirlpool piping connections for leaks.
Turn off the jets to the whirlpool, then drain the whirlpool. Replace the protective liner or drop
cloth.
