INTRODUCTION:
Whirlpool baths must be installed by trained personnel able to demonstrate to the
relevant authorities their knowledge and ability in the application of health and
safety regulations, i.e. electricity and water supplies and waste water disposal. The
manufacturer provides training for technical assistance staff and therefore you are
advised to contact an authorised technical assistance centre for the purposes of
installation.
This symbol is used throughout this manual to indicate important
instructions or important safety information about the product.
INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
Before starting to assemble and install the product, carefully read through all the
instructions. Unpack the components and check that nothing is missing and that there
are no damaged or faulty components; remove the transparent protective film, where
present.
All components requiring maintenance (e.g. pump, electrical components, etc.) must
remain accessible once the final installation is complete.
Do not use the hoses to support the bath during transport.
N.B.: This product is designed for installation on finished walls and floors.
For all warranty claims, the purchase invoice/receipt must be produced along with the
product assembly instructions.
The drawings and illustrations in this manual are provided for information purposes
only.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and improvements.
INSTALLATION OF BATH WITH FRAME:
Follow the sequence of drawings given in this manual very carefully when installing a
bath with frame.
INSTALLATION OF ENCLOSED BATH:
Before building the enclosing walls, it is best to position the bath and make the required
connections. The wall can extend inwards under the lip of the bath by not more than
1.5 cm. The drain must be connected in such a way that the bath can be pulled out of
the enclosure for maintenance, when necessary. To facilitate this operation, do NOT fix
enclosed type baths to the floor. In this case, fix the bath by applying silicone on all four
sides (see siliconing illustration on page 37).
Inspection panel required.
FITTINGS (optional):
A pack of finishing profiles can be ordered on request, which are easy to install and
make the joint between the wall and the edge of the bath both aesthetically elegant
and functional (please contact your retailer). These profiles are suitable for use on baths
of any size.

OPERATING TEST:
An operating test must be performed following installation. Check that the bath is clean.
Fill the bath with water at an infeed temperature of 40 °C (± 5 °C) up to a level above

the highest nozzle to allow the system to function.Switch on the system and run it for
10 minutes. Switch OFF the whirlpool function but do not empty the bath and after 10
minutes check all the hoses, couplings, etc. for any leaks.
The test should be repeated following any adjustments or substitutions.
Backflow of water towards the mains water supply must be avoided to ensure conformity
with EN 1717 when filling the bath. Therefore if the taps are fitted so that the water fills
the bath from above the top of the bath then the taps must be positioned (at least in
terms of height) in accordance with the diagrams shown on page 18/25.
If the system involving a combined water inlet and overflow outlet is used to fill the
bath, a water outlet spout consisting of a non-return valve (not supplied) must be fitted
between the combined tap water inlet point and the delivery system located on the
discharge column.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING:
During use, small organic particles are deposited in the whirlpool pipes and if not
treated may lead to proliferation of bacteria in the system. For optimum hygiene, you
should treat the system with specific products available from our Service Centres (see
updated list on our site www.novellini.com under the heading "Service") or dealers
specialising in products for whirlpool baths. For temporary treatment you can use a
benzalkonium chloride based liquid disinfectant (e.g. Dettol).
How to disinfect the bath:
If the bath has an automatic disinfection facility, please refer to the disinfection menu
using the remote control, otherwise proceed as follows.
Cleaning the bath:
Fill the bath with clean water, to the level used during normal use. Then add 80
grammes of disinfectant to the water. Set the whirlpool running for a few minutes so
that the disinfectant circulates throughout all the pipes. Then turn it off, wait for 15-20
minutes, and empty the bath.
You should also perform a specific treatment if the bath is left unused for long periods.
If the bath is used by more than one person consecutively, you are recommended to
disinfect after each cycle.
HOW TO USE YOUR WHIRLPOOL BATH CORRECTLY:
The benefits of a whirlpool massage:
The swirling water of a whirlpool bath is naturally soothing and offers many therapeutic
benefits. In spas, hydrotherapy is used to stimulate blood circulation, relax muscles
and restore tone to the skin. Basically, it consists in injecting air into controlled jets of
water of varying intensity directed at the body. The jet of warm water and air bubbles
against the body dilates blood vessels and increases the flow of blood to the heart. In
addition, the continuous jet of water has a massaging effect on the muscles and dilates
skin pores, promoting the removal of toxins and helping to hydrate the surrounding
tissue. Hydromassage is widely used by sports people to relieve tired muscles after
strenuous physical activity, producing a pleasant sense of relaxation and well-being.
The jet nozzles can be adjusted to direct the jets at the parts of the body where you want
to concentrate the massaging action. The temperature of the bath water must never
exceed 45°C. The maximum benefits are obtained with a temperature of 36°-37°C.
ADJUSTING THE JET NOZZLES:
Turn the jet nozzles (C) as required. The nozzles can be pointed in any direction. Make
sure that the nozzles are not clogged and are not directed upwards (otherwise water will
be splashed out of the tub when the system is switched on). Fill the tub until the water
is well over the level of the jet nozzles (see illustration). After getting into the bath, the
water level must be as shown in the illustration, otherwise the jets system may not
start. The system features a level sensor which prevents the jets from switching on if
there isn't enough water in the bath. When the jets system is on, do not use foaming
agents such as bubble baths, soap, etc.
In some types of bath, each whirlpool jet can be individually adjusted to control the
massaging intensity according to taste.
