PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the whirlpool system unless the bath is filled with water to at least 2" above the highest jet.
Do not use oil-based bath additives in your whirlpool bath.
When cleaning your bath, do not use abrasive substances which will damage the bath's surface.
To prevent discoloration of the acrylic finish, do not fill the bath with water in excess of 140°F (60°C).
The whirlpool system should be purged at least twice a month. For your convenience, we have developed a plumbing system
cleaner (Systems Clean™) specifically for whirlpool baths. For availability call 1-800-288-4002.
Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI
should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground
current flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected
by a qualified electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor to permit connection of an No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper
bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with
local requirements.
This unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
For built-in and drop-in units, install to permit access for servicing.
