Subfloor
Prepare the subfloor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
1 The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical
Specifications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.
2 Make appropriate cuts to the subfloor to accommodate the drain.
3 Jacuzzi’s Tru-Level™ base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface,
no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the “Installation” section.
4 If the subfloor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used
will insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar,
plaster or minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must
remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint
or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a GFCI.
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed:
•
Always follow local building and electrical codes.
•
Grounding is required. The unit should be installed and grounded by a qualified electrician.
Two separate GFCI protected circuits are required.
A separate, 120VAC, 15 AMP GFCI circuit is required for the pump/motor.
A separate 120VAC, 15AMP, GFCI protected circuit is required for the heater.
Risk of component overheat. Do not use electric extension cord to power this unit.
Operating the motor/pump without enough water in the bathtub can cause permanent damage to the pump.
Electrical Connections
Pump/Motor with Heater
Electrical outlets must be mounted 4˝ (101mm)
above the floor line, or in accordance with local
building and electrical codes.
If the GFCI units indicate a malfunction, per manufacturer’s instructions, turn OFF power and do not use the
bathtub until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
4˝
(101mm)
- The pump/motor and heater require a dedicated
120VAC, 15 Amp GFCI protected circuit for each.
The electrical outlets are not provided.
- Power cord from the pump/motor is routed to a
control box t the factory. A supplied power cord
from the control box with a 120VAC, 15 AMP plug
connects to the customer-supplied GFCI protected
circuit.
- Bonding lugs are provided on the motor to satisfy
local electrical codes.
- At initial start-up, test GFCI units for proper
operation. Follow the manufacturer’s direction for
testing and proper use.
