INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
Congratulations on having chosen a Walk-in Next Gala.
We advise you to read these pages carefully and, if you
require any clarification, contact your distributor.
Your Walk-in Next hydromassage has been individually
checked and has passed the strictest controls,
guaranteeing both the quality of the materials and the
functioning of all components.
WATER HEATERS
Accumulator tanks
For accumulator tanks of less than 100 litres, we
recommend
General Considerations
- For your Walk-in Next to function correctly, the water
supply pressure must not be higher than 5 bar or lower
than 2 bar. For safety reasons, however, it must not
exceed 55ºC.
Always respect these limits.
pressure or temperature of the water entering the walk-
in is higher, this may damage the product. On the other
hand, if the pressure of the water is lower, your Walk-in
Next may not function correctly.
- The thermostatic tap regulates the temperature by
activating the thermostatic cartridge.
switches off too often and cold water comes out when
using any of the functions of the walk-in, clean the filters
of the thermostatic taps and, if the problem persists,
reduce the temperature of hot water coming from the
boiler or heater with the appropriate control on the
device.
In all cases, consult the technical
characteristics of the boiler.
HYDROMASSAGE
Before a hydromassage:
certain function of your hydromassage for some time,
the anti-limescale injectors should be checked as
indicated in the hydromassage maintenance
instructions.
Pressure of the water jet: Regulate the water flow for a
more or less powerful massage. Combinations of the
type and duration of massage and the temperature of
the water enable you to adapt the hydromassage to your
requirements.
In general, the intensity of the water jet has the following
effects:
-Greater intensity: toning effects
-Less intensity: relaxing effects
The hydromassage should never be excessively strong.
Temperature of the water: we recommend that this be
between 30 ºC y 39 ºC:
If the
If the boiler
if you have not used a
turning the thermostat up to the highest possible
temperature, as otherwise the hot-water hydromassage
will last no longer than a few minutes. For safety reasons,
however, it must not exceed 55º C.
Instant heaters
If you have an instant heater or combi boiler, this must be
able to provide the stipulated pressures and
consumptions.
If it has useful power of less 20,000
kcal/hour, it may not be able to maintain the temperature
when using certain functions.
Instant heater-accumulator tank combination
systems
This is the recommended configuration, with tank volume
of not less than 50 litres.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Hydromassage
-Cold (30 - 35ºC). With mainly toning effects.
-Neutral (36 - 37ºC). For relaxing effects.
-Hot (37 - 39ºC). For muscular applications.
Thermostatic tap.
You can select the desired
temperature by means of the "temperature indicator
control".
Turn the on-off control until you reach the
desired water flow rate. The water will be at the
temperature you have selected.
On the "temperature indicator control", there is a safety
button that prevents temperatures over 38ºC being
selected by mistake. If you want a higher temperature,
press the button to unblock this safety mechanism.
Hydromassage process: Select the desired function
using the function selector, which permits the following
options:

•Body massage with the upper adjustable-direction
vertical
jets. For application over a wide area of
theupper body.
•Body massage with the lower adjustable-direction
vertical jets. For application over a wide area of the
lower body.
•Foot-level water outlet.To check the temperature.
Turn the 16-outlet jets, equipped with an anti-limescale
device, in the most appropriate direction, though you can
later change it to direct the water jets onto whatever parts
of the body you want.
•Adjust the temperature of the water, checking it at the
foot-level outlet.
•Select the appropriate function.
•Turn the water on progressively until you obtain the most
appropriate hydromassage pressure.
