8. Mount the Pump in Custom Location
Remove all protective packaging from around the whirlpool harness. Cut only those cable ties
supporting the harness attachment nuts.
Remove the plugs from the pump inlet and outlet openings. Install the supplied gasket in the
connection where the heater and pump join. Install the supplied O-rings/gaskets into the grooves
on the inlet and outlet connector fittings.
Position the pump and control into place. Be sure the rubber isolation feet remain in place.
Thread the plastic inlet and outlet attachment nuts onto the heater and/or pump until the
O-rings/gaskets make initial contact.
Tighten each nut no more than another quarter of a turn. Do not use a wrench or overtighten these
nuts, as damage or leaks may result.
Make sure the whirlpool harness piping is pitched correctly (down and away) to promote the
drainage of water from the pump through the suction fitting. The pump should rest on the same
subfloor, at the same level as the whirlpool feet. Shim the pump if necessary on the subfloor, but
only high enough to allow water to drain out of the suction line when the whirlpool is drained.
NOTE: Do not shim the pump more than 1/4" (6 mm). Raising the pump too high will prevent the pump
from priming properly.
If your heater was already installed in the custom location, simply plug the heater cord into the
heater connection on the control by aligning the pins and pressing it into place.
Locate the solid copper 8-gauge bonding wire, which has been secured to the bracket upon which
the pump has shipped. Feed this bonding wire back to the pump and control, in the custom
location, and connect to one of the open bonding lugs on the control box. This is necessary to bond
any metal back to the grounding source.
Make sure the wiring from the bath-mounted user keypad is connected to the wiring harness on the
control.
