Prepare the Site (cont.)
Verify the subfloor is level. If the subfloor is not level, proceed to the "Level the Subfloor" subsection
below.
Install a Mortar Cement Bed (Optional)
NOTE: The whirlpool supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Build a dam to keep the flooring material clear of the drain area.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of mortar cement on the subfloor, spreading it so that each area of the
whirlpool that will contact the subfloor has mortar cement. Do not spread the mortar cement
around the drain area. Allow room for the mortar cement to expand from the weight of the
whirlpool.
Immediately move the whirlpool into position.
Verify that the whirlpool is level and resting on all supports.
Clean the whirlpool to reduce the risk of damaging the surface.
Level the Subfloor (Optional)
IMPORTANT! If you intend to install this product using a mortar cement bed, do not level the subfloor at
this time.
IMPORTANT! Mortar cement is required to level an uneven subfloor. Do not use plaster, gypsum cement,
or drywall compound for this application, as these materials do not provide adequate structural support.
Spread a layer of mortar cement on the subfloor where the whirlpool supports will be located.
